When it comes to a galaxy far, far away, there’s no one more bad ass than Boba Fett. So it’s only fitting that the legendary bounty-hunter-turned-crime-lord should snag his very own sixth-scale collectible. Enter the new Hot Toys Boba Fett Deluxe Version, which offers not one, but two figures featuring the former Sarlacc snack himself.
The figures are based on Fett’s appearance in The Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett series, with the older and wiser warrior blasting his way through the Tatooine underworld. The Deluxe Version, which is likely close to being sold out since being released late last year, is currently available for order now from Sideshow Collectibles.
So does this two-in-one set deliver the goods? Read on to find out.

What’s included in the Boba Fett Deluxe Version?
First off, it’s worth noting that the box the two figures comes in is absolutely amazing. The front artwork is stunning and it includes a cardboard pullout that’s legitimately display worthy. If you’re a weirdo like me who actually enjoys hanging onto these boxes, you’ll likely appreciate just how much attention and detail goes into these things.
That being said, it’s what’s inside the box that really counts. Here’s what’s included with each of the two figures:
1. Mandalorian Armored Figure
The armored version of the infamous Star Wars anti-hero, stands at 11.8 inches tall and includes the following:
Accessories
- A newly crafted battle-damaged helmeted head with articulated rangefinder
- Six interchangeable gloved hands, including:
- One pair of fists
- One pair of relaxed hands
- One right hand (for holding the blaster pistol)
- One gesturing right hand
- One holographic bounty chain code accessory
- One jetpack with distressed effects and detachable rocket
- Two thruster fire accessories (attachable to jetpack)
- One newly designed diorama figure stand, with realistic terrain
Of all these accessories, the helmet is, not surprisingly, the showpiece, with beautiful paintwork and incredibly realistic detail. When you think Boba Fett, you think of his iconic Mandalorian helmet, and in this version it’s never looked better, with a ton of weathering and detail. The jetpack is also a fantastic addition, and the inclusion of the fire effect is stunning. The base also really ties the piece together and is a welcome change from the standard black, untextured bases that often come with Hot Toys figure (it would be great to see them do more of this with other figs, as they really do make them pop).
Costume
- One Mandalorian armor and vest with distressed effects
- One pair of brown-red gauntlets with weathering effects
- One gray-black long sleeve shirt
- One brown leather belt with ammo clips and pistol holster
- One brown and black rop belt
- One pair of brown and black pants
- One pair of black boots
- One yellow right knee guard with weathering effects
The quality of the costume pieces is also great and Hot Toys has really outdone themselves in terms of the fabrics, textures and little details. The leather ammo belt for example is incredibly intricate and showcases just what Hot Toys can achieve wth premium sixth-scale figures like this.
Weapons
- One blaster pistol
- One firing effect accessory (attachable to rocket)
- One flamethrower effect accessory (attachable to gauntlet)
- One whistling bird effect accessory (attachable to knee guard)
There’s also a ton to love with the weapons that come with this particular figure. Over the years, Hot Toys has released a number of different figures with various flame effects, but with this Boba Fett they’ve really stepped up their game in terms of realism and overall eye appeal. That being said, it might have been nice to include a few additional flame effects for added posability, but overall that’s a minor complaint at most.
2. Unarmored Figure (Exclusive to Deluxe Version)
The second figure depicts the unarmored version of Boba Fett and includes the following:
Accessories
- One newly sculpted head based on the likeness of Boba Fett from The Mandalorian, as played by actor Temuera Morrison
- Five interchangeable gloved hands, including:
- One pair of relaxed hands
- One pair of hands for holding weapons
- One right hand (for holding blaster pistol)
- One damaged Stormtrooper helmet
- One Jango Fett hologram accessory
- One newly designed diorama figure stand, with realistic terrain
There’s actually a surprising amount of accessories with this particular figure and the damaged Stormtrooper helmet is an absolutely perfect addition. The Jango Fett hologram is also a nice touch and again, the figure includes a realistic diorama stand, which really does add a level of depth and vibrance to the overall design. The head sculpt of Temuera Morrison, however, might be the best Hot Toys paint job I’ve ever seen. The level of detail is absolutely jaw dropping and incredibly realistic, both close up and from a distance. It’s unbelievable just how far Hot Toys has come in terms of what their artists are able to accomplish.
Costume
- One gray-black robe (with bendable wire)
- One gray-black long sleeve shirt
- One pair of gray-black arm wraps
- One brow and black vest
- One brown leather belt with ammo clips and pistol holster
- One brown and black rope belt
- One pair of brown and black pants
- One pair of black boots
- One yellow right knee guard with weathering effects
The fabric used in this costume is also incredibly high quality and the level of detail is impressive. One minor quibble I did have is that it can be a bit tough to get the hood onto the figure’s head, but that’s a minor issue at best. Overall, the materials and design are top notch and beautifully capture the tone of the character.
Weapons
- One Tusken raider gaffi stick
- One cycler rifle with strap
- One blaster pistol
Of course, Boba’s nothing without his weapons and what the Deluxe Version figure comes with are solid. The cycler rifle is particularly well done and I was quite impressed at the level of minute detail they were able to add. This isn’t a simple throw-away inclusion. It’s a well thought out and screen-accurate design that sharp-eyed fans will likely appreciate.
What’s the difference between the Deluxe and Collectors versions?
It’s worth noting that there is also a Collectors version available. This option, however, includes only the armored figure, without the added accessories, new head sculpt, Stormtrooper helmet, weapons and Jango Fett hologram that comes only in the Deluxe version.
For the price though, you definitely get a lot more bang for your hard-earned credits with the Deluxe version, so if you are thinking of pulling the trigger, I’d recommend this version.
How is the Deluxe Version different than other Hot Toys Boba Fett figures?
This isn’t the first time the legendary Star Wars bounty hunter has appeared in sixth-scale format. In fact, there have been several Boba Fett figures over the years, including:
- The Boba Fett Star Wars Mythos Figure from Sideshow Collectibles, which features the iconic version of the character from The Empire Strikes Back.
- The Boba Fett Repaint Armor Figure from Hot Toys, which is essentially the armored figure from the Deluxe set, with a slightly different paint job. Notably, there’s also an Exclusive Special Edition of the Repaint figure that includes holographic versions of The Razor Crest and Slave I as bonus accessories.
- Boba Fett Repaint Amor with Throne: Includes everything that comes with the Repaint Armor figure, plus an added throne to represent the iconic scene from The Mandalorian live-action series where Boba Fett takes control of the crime syndicate that resides in Jabba the Hutt’s old palace on Tatooine.
The Deluxe version, however, is the first time we’ve ever seen the unhelmeted head sculpt in action, which looks absolutely stunning. It’s also worth noting that you can swap heads from either of the two figures that come in the Deluxe Version.
How much does the Boba Fett Deluxe Version retail for?
This two-in-one Hot Toys set starts at $495 USD, although, as of the writing of this review there’s also free shipping in the US. As with all things Sideshow/Hot Toys, if you don’t want to pay right away, you can also opt into their payment plan.
I was lucky enough to get my hands on the Deluxe version directly from Sideshow Collectibles and it’s absolutely amazing and easily one of the best Star Wars figures in my sixth-scale collection.
Final Thoughts and Rating
When it comes to the Star Wars galaxy, there are few characters more iconic than Boba Fett. And with his saga continuing with new episodes of The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, the legendary bounty hunter might be a little worse for wear, but is showing no signs of slowing down.
If you’re a fan of Hot Toys and Star Wars, then this Deluxe Version is something you’ll definitely want to get your Mandalorian-loving mitts on. With stunning detail, a ton of accessories and two-figures rolled into one, you’d have to be a scruffy-looking nerf herder to pass these bad boys up.
You can order the Hot Toys Boba Fett Deluxe Version now directly from Sideshow Collectibles.
Final Rating: 10/10
