Hasbro has announced the reissue of a new action figure of the iconic character Boba Fett, based on his appearance in the popular Disney+ series, The Book of Boba Fett. This release follows the character’s resurgence in the franchise, where he is depicted as a more complex figure seeking a different path after his past as a feared bounty hunter.
Boba Fett’s journey in the series begins with his dramatic escape from the Sarlacc pit and his partnership with mercenary Fennec Shand. Together, they aim to take control of the criminal empire once ruled by Jabba the Hutt on the desert planet of Tatooine. The series has provided fans with a deeper understanding of Boba Fett, highlighting his evolution from a ruthless bounty hunter to a leader who seeks respect rather than fear.
The new figure features several enhancements, including a removable helmet, updated armor, two blasters, and a jetpack. This reissue is notable not just for the character’s design but also for its packaging. Hasbro has opted for a revised box design, moving away from the previous slanted style while reintroducing side art that fans appreciate.
Despite not being a highly sought-after item initially, Hasbro has decided to bring Boba Fett back to the market. Pre-orders for the figure will be available starting today, March 15, 2024, at 1 PM EST, priced at $27.99. The anticipated release for these figures is set for early 2026, making it a timely offering for collectors and fans alike.
Hasbro’s Star Wars: The Black Series continues to celebrate the rich legacy of the franchise, which spans over 40 years. The series includes meticulously detailed action figures, vehicles, and roleplay items that allow fans to recreate their favorite scenes from the Star Wars universe.
The Boba Fett figure is designed to reflect his character from The Book of Boba Fett, coming with a removable helmet, a blaster, a rifle, and a jetpack featuring a removable rocket. This attention to detail exemplifies Hasbro’s commitment to quality and fan engagement.
As anticipation builds for the release of the new Boba Fett figure, collectors and enthusiasts are encouraged to secure their orders early, ensuring they do not miss out on this compelling addition to their Star Wars collections.
