6" Star Wars Black Series Boba Fett Slated For 2013 SDCC Exclusive

By Jay Cochran on 2013-02-06 in Action Figures
According to the folks over at Rebelscum.com, Hasbro will be releasing a 6" Star Wars Black Series Boba Fett figure as their 2013 Star Wars San Diego Comic Con. This will likely be similar to the way they handled the relaunch of their Marvel Legends line 2 years ago. For those who don't recall, they released a 6" Modern Thor figure with some snazzy exclusive packaging and some added lightening effect on the figure and then released a regular version in the normal Marvel Legends packaging in the first wave which hit retail stores shortly after the convention. It gets people pumped for the launch of a new line and makes for a unique exclusive, but still allows those who don't attend the convention to get a main character in the regular line.

Boba Fett obviously is not confirmed, but Rebelscum did report the existence of the Black line a day before it was officially announced and this fits Hasbro's established track record with these kind of things, so our money is on this rumor being legit. Either way we will likely no for sure with specific details this Saturday (2/9) when we bring you coverage of the Hasbro showroom from the New York Toy Fair.

I know the boba fett is coming and I am thinking the Han in carbonite would be a possibility for a 2pack or exclusive to a store. So, with the hints from the hasbro team I think we will see this figure in different packaging down the road. The when and waiting is gonna be difficult for me though. I hate waiting for something that is already out.

the day the HTS released Boba/Popsicle Han I was on that darn site allllllll morning, I got up at 12am 3am 5 & 6 am just to be sure (the same system I worked when I got MP soundwave from TRU) but that didn't work. At work I stepped out to get a sammich for lunch I was gone 10 min! & it was over....sux........I guess they didn't want my money that bad...this was pretty much the only exclusive that I wanted badly. I'm glad I snagged up MP SW too but I was gunnin for Boba/Han..........HTS and their games? go figure...now we can't even smell the box the TFvsJoe crossover came in let alone buy it for a decent price......all in all rumor has it, 6" Boba will be out in awhile anyway and maybe a Carbonite Han....& knowing SW's if they want to add another dollar to their empire they'll give us what we want eventually....just in a different box.....

From what I heard even at the Con this was most difficult to get, I saw a video review online and was impressed how detailed it looks, very nice figure a little lacking in arm articulation but otherwise a great one.

yeah, I went to get lunch, then got back, refreshed and was kinda weirded out how the page looked different, a couple seconds later started adding things to my cart and a lot of us waiting around on Marvelousnews thought it would be smart to log in first.. but that kind of hurt us cause as we added them to our carts, it kept not letting us check out.. some people logged out and logged back in and it worked. I switched to firefox and got them in my cart and went to check out and everytime one thing I wanted was sold out, frustrating.. and the thing I wanted most sold out so I said screw it and closed the browser, lol.

I didn't know anything about this till know I would have loved to had this.I wonder if the Hasbro store will sell them on August 5th

It went on sale the Wednesday after SDCC and was sold out in minutes...

:(

People that waited all day online since monday missed out also. They were gone in 6 minutes. My friend got lucky I was at work when it went up. I did not get one but have one coming from a friend from sdcc but I paid more. I was trying to get another one and was on all morning Tuesday and Wednesday. But missed when I was at work. The worse thing is I would of went on my break a few minutes earlier. I might of had a chance.

I hear Hasbro is horrible when you want to get these exclusives

Its actually worst than Digital River if you can believe that...

It is, last year I tried getting my wife Hasbro's Derpy Hooves Pony Exclusive, it would be up, then gone, up, then gone, most frustrating thing exclusive Ive ever tried to get.
