SDCC 2022 is just around the corner, running July 20-24! In advance, we’ve been getting a ton of reveals from Star Wars licensees and Hasbro is now entering the ring!
Black Series War of the Bounty Hunters Boba Fett
UPDATE (via SDCCblog):
ComicBook.com unveiled a Star Wars: The Black Series Boba Fett (In Disguise) figure, which is inspired by the Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters comic. In the comic, while delivering Han Solo frozen in carbonite to Jabba the Hutt, Fett must first strike a deal and kill a local fighting pit warrior — so he disguises himself to fight without repercussions. This 6? figure is fully articulated and comes with two accessories. You’ll be able to pre-order it for $33.99 with the QR code from the booth, and it will ship this fall.
First up, we’ve got the next entry in Hasbro’s six inch Black Series comic line, War of the Bounty Hunters Boba Fett (in disguise). This figure depicts Boba Fett in Charles Soule and Steve McNiven’s War of the Bounty Hunters Alpha! No news on pre-order dates, price point, etc., but people are speculating that this is a SDCC exclusive.
You can check out why Boba Fett was wearing his all-black get up in War of the Bounty Hunters Alpha in the first issue of the event, or check out the full event mini-series in the War of the Bounty Hunters trade paperback!
Amazon Exclusive Boba Fett and Bossk Retro Collection Box Set
Next up, an Amazon exclusive Boba Fett and Bossk retro 2-pack! Adding to the 3 3/4 inch, 5 point of articulation “retro” scale, Amazon will have an exclusive 2-pack featuring Boba Fett and Bossk that will go live for pre-order here at 1pm Eastern time on the Thursday 14th July. Collectors in the UK and Europe will more than likely be a little later.
Bossk’s Bounty had the exclusive reveal on these figures. Check out the press release from his site:
The set includes 2 carded figures of Bossk and Boba Fett, both on their classic vintage Kenner style card backs. (The Bossk looks glorious!)
