OPEN BOX ITEM!!!

Released 2003

The detail and accuracy that has gone into this bust is obvious from first glance. The look of the character is there, along with the well-worn Mandalorian armor complete with Fett's trademark head ding (the door was closing on him). The armor shows signs of combat, rust and maybe a little neglect here and there, just as you would expect from hand-me-down armor on a hand-me-down clone. The Wookiee scalps are genuine imitation Wookiee hair in several shades, showing that Boba is an equal opportunity scalper. The equipment bags hang over the classic round base that the bust is on, sort of like love handles. The paint work and sculpting is exceptional, including the sawed off blaster rifle used to fell many foes (and probably a few friends).

 Gentle Giants well known for their work scanning actors and props to create hyper-realistic toys and busts. The process is more involved than simply a Rube Goldberg machine where an actor sits on one end and perfect duplicates pop out the other end. The actors or props are scanned by lasers to create a three-dimensional computer model of the item, and this can then be output to a three dimensional printer. Then the artisans at Gentle Giant will go through and tweak the design to create a likeness that is both accurate and approvable. From there the process follows the same basic pattern as other busts where paint masters are created and then they are mass produced and sent out to your local store.
