First of all, there are several things that I need to clarify regarding this Bandai Boba Fett model kit so I will divide this review in 2 parts the one for the Average Customer (that might not be as picky as us STAR WARS classic fans and model builders) and another for the STAR WARS Collector so that we are clear on everything that could have been better in both sides of the story.
AVERAGE CUSTOMER REVIEW!
1. This model is not the easiest of STAR WARS Bandai Models out there, honestly, it has several super small pieces that need to be handled with care or they will break easily! If you never built a STAR WARS model and want to get into the classics I recommend you start with the classic Stormtrooper, this one could be considered a medium level so start small and work your way up!
2. This model requires painting, as you can see in the pictures, this model comes in a green and grey flat base color, the worn out or scratched metal effect has to be done by hand so keep that in mind before you buy!
3. it has A LOT of stickers! If you are not experienced with model kits, this part of the review needs special attention. Normally, these model kits come with a few stickers but this one comes with a lot of them, these stickers have to be placed with an extremely firm hand and with pointy small tools such as needles and tweezers, keep that in mind before your purchase.
STAR WARS COLLECTOR REVIEW!
1. The green colors on this model vary inexplicably, the forearm pieces and the jetpack are the same green, but the chest pieces are another tone of green. It’s a mess, only the helmet has 3 different tones of green, make sure you use a color reference from the original trilogy and buy the right color to paint all green areas of this Boba Fett in the same tone of green before assembly! Also, the cable for the flame thrower (gray), the rifle stock (brown) and the helmet antenna (gray) come in black so you need to paint those as well before attempting to assemble!
2. For the worn out and metal scratched effect I recommend several tones of grey and white as well as metallic silver applied with sponges and very tiny and thin brushes, if you mess up at any part of the process you can scratch the paint excess with a cutter or scalpel and it actually looks more realistic FYI!
3. For the Stickers try to use the water ones as much as possible as the regular ones are really bad for a collectors edition, (you can see all borders and the paint just brings those defects even more) the glue ones doesn’t last and if you try to paint over them chances are they will fall apart. As always, place all stickers before attempting the metal scratched effect, but be extra careful, the water stickers are super thin and can be torn easily! Also, there are stickers for the bullet impacts, these are not really necessary you can easily make more realistic blaster impacts using the brush and the sponge with the metallic paint and some shades of dark grey and black.

Model cars together when I was younger. I like the Mandalorian not put it together yet but it’s what I was looking for.

I am usually an armor modeler for 30 + years. I have never built a Star Wars model (even tho I remember watching it at the drive in …back in 1977. MY nephew is a big Star Wars fan, and he always wants to me to build bigger then 1/35 scale models… So, I bought this Bandai Boba Fett, and have to say for it being a snap tight kit, which I haven’t done in over 35 years, cool kit. And the figure is fully posable and articulated. The detail is very nice and crisp. I will be of course gluing this kit and adding my flare to it with painting and weathering. It does not need painting if you want a basic toy or display model but being a seasoned modeler can’t wait to customize it. If it all works out i will be buying more of the Bandai line. It comes with both stickers and decals, i highly recommend using the decals over the stickers, All -in-all a great kit for beginners or a nice weekend project for more experienced builders. The pictures are painted custom and are not what kit looks like!!!

Nothing to dislike about bandai kits, I currently build Gundam kits as well. Excellent detail in every kit. And this one will not disappoint . Only drawback is since his body suit is cloth you may want to apply a blue/gray mix of paint, and armor a flat olive green, the red around the visor is a mix of rust and red or oxidized red, silver for damage spots and flat medium brown for shoes and belts.

Excelente figura, con muy buen detalle y facil de armar sin necesidad de usar pegamento y para darle mas realismo la.pintura es opcional, ya que el modelo viene con piezas a color

Une maquette de bonne qualité , facile à monter même par un néophyte.Les couleurs et les détails sont bons. Pas de 5e étoile car les lances aiguilles des genoux sont vraiment trop petits pour être montés efficacement. Si ce commentaire vous a aidé merci de laisser un petit “utile”.
