Every rocket firing fett you seen on ebay is 99.999% certain to be a custom/fake. The reals ones are few and far between and come with provenance etc.

so how do people go about getting hold of an original or do they just settle for fakes like these for there collection?

A friend of mine was saying he remembered kids at school having rocket firing fetts!, maybe a batch of them found there way to Zodiac toys during the early '80s in Croydon (where most of the locals got their figures) before they were withdrawn?

....or maybe my friend was talking **** because he was very drunk.

There was a seller on ebay selling the unpainted boxed boba fett with no marking people are just painting them and changing the limbs. This joker got 1 for sale as well

These figures go for mega money

thats the same guy who sold it for £147 last time!, he does admit that they are custom ones i suppose though

what does everyone do then for a rocket firing boba fett? do they buy cheap fakes or nothing at all?

Personaly I'd make do with a fake (if I really wanted one that is, I'm happy with my standard Fett!), just as I'm happy to make do with my fake vinyl caped jawa...

I find a C7 loose booba fett strapped to a firework quite effective. They get a good height too.*

*I haven't actaully tried this yet...

There's that carded one coming up for auction soon starting at $100k. I'll be in with a chance on that if I start saving now. I'll drink halfs. Any other ideas or grandmas I can rob?
