Here are mine- ESB Kenner 41 D MOC, complete with wespon error smuggler blaster- the perfect weapon error for Fett! Was originally graded (80), but busted him out.

My fav though, is my childhood figure. Got this in my Christmas stocking- 30 back Palitoy. Customised him a bit, with kill stripes, scratches (with silver pen, mostly worn off and now has plenty of real scratches) and Wookie braids (long gone).

Also have a minty loose one that was knocking around in the back of a Slave 1 I bought in a comic shop around 1994-5.

Wonderful stuff! Love that 41 D card :)

Great that you still have your childhood Fett! I wish I still had mine.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Jeremy 8) Didn't even realise it was a weapon error until it arrived, as it was unclear in the pics 8) So glad I held onto most of my childhood figures- only sold a couple when I was around 12. Kept all of my Action Force as well, but unfortunately sold all of my Action Man :(

PS- looking forward to seeing pics of all your cool Boba variants! 8)

Boba Fett! What can we say about him that hasn't already been said? Probably not much, so I'll keep this brief, especially as I'll be hijacking enough of the thread with photos as it is (mind you, I imagine Lars will probably beat me ;-))!

What I will say is that it took me quite a while to track down a Boba Fett as a child, and when I finally did (from Stevenage market), the card was not a Palitoy! :eek: :lol: In fact, I don't remember ever seeing a 30 back Fett anywhere in my youth. Granted, I wasn't specifically looking out for them back then of course, but I did like the Palitoy logo and certainly looked out for that... so much so in fact that I considered Kenner cards to be inferior... at least until the figure was ripped from the card by my grubby little fingers, at any rate! :wink: :lol:

Anyway, here's my Fett army. I have divided them up into firstly Hong Kong Fetts, then Taiwan, then a brief focus on the Taiwan painted helmet (I thought some forum members might appreciate a few close-ups; I know I certainly would have done before I was familiar with what one of them looked like up close), and lastly the Tri-logo and PBP Fetts.

Let the bounty hunting begin...

Wow that is a fantastic moc and also a nice mint figure. Thanks for sharing them. Great story about your childhood boba, I never had one when I was a kid. Boba was very hard to find in the stores when I was a kid, I never saw him in the stores in denmark.

Here are my cardbacks and loose figures. I never had one when I was a kid, I never saw them in the stores in denmark. But I have found a lot of them in danish childhood lots so I guess I was just not lucky to find one when I was a kid in the good old 80s. The beater boba fett has a very rare coo or maybe a production error coo, I am still not sure about that. Some years ago I also had a mint one with the same coo. But I fellow dane who is a friend of mine has a huge boba fett focus, he has nearly 200 boba fett figures and he was missing the one with that coo. So he offered me something that I could not say no to, 17 cardbacks with danish price stickers on them all and if he ever wanted to sell it then I will get the first offer to get it back, who can say no to that. So I traded the mint one, I hope I can replace the beater in the future with a mint one again.
