Over the next few weeks, the Star Wars 'Bring Home the Bounty' program will be extended as 'Bonus Bounties', and from this week through to the 15th of February we will see weekly reveals based on, or linked to, The Book of Boba Fett.
The reveals kicked with a number of new clothing items and the reveal of a new Star Wars Black Series release - Boba Fett in his white prototype armour. the white armoured Boba Fett was originally released in 2014 as a Walgreens exclusive in the blue line Phase 2 packaging. This update will see the original figure repacked - there is no re-use of the updated ROTJ Boba Fett body - along with the blaster and blaster rifle. Boba will be repacked in the Galaxy Collection packaging and it sits in The Empire Strikes Back collection and will be numbered and be part of the wider artwork montage.
The Prototype Armour Boba Fett is an Amazon Exclusive. The US listing can be found HERE while the UK listing is still pending - UK collectors can order now from the US site, it will cost you around £31 in total with delivery and taxes. The figure will not ship until December 2022.
Star Wars: The Black Series Boba Fett (Prototype) by Hasbro
Fun fact: Boba Fett’s now-iconic armor was actually designed for “super troopers” of the Empire. When that idea was abandoned, however, filmmakers repurposed the striking gear for a new bounty hunter. The rest is Star Wars history, and Hasbro’s stunning figure pays tribute to the earliest incarnation of a legend. Pre-order available starting Wednesday, January 5.
