Bandai Hobby - Star Wars - Boba Fett, Bandai Spirits Star Wars Character 1/12 Model Kit

I've built a bunch of the Bandai 1/12 scale Star Wars figure kits, and this is one of the best. For those new to the hobby, there are quite a few small parts, but don't let that intimidate you. The instructions break things down into smaller sub-assemblies, and are very easy to follow. Also, if you're not up to painting, the figure is molded in multiple appropriate colors. You can build a really nice looking figure with no painting needed. You also have the choice of traditional waterslide decals or the easier to use self-adhesive decals.The figure is beautifully detailed, and comes with two blasters, optional hands, and a display stand. It's fully articulated, holds a pose, and balances well. From looking at screenshot reference photos, the figure looks to be very accurate. Highly Recommended!

Love every inch of this kit. Building is, as noted by others, a few hour process, but if you’re like me that’s part of the fun. I have a decent pair of model sprue cutters, but a razor is best to clear little bits left over. This kit, more than other Bandai Star Wars kits I’ve done (except Grievous) really needs some paint love, but if you just take your time and watch a few vids for tips on how to get a good effect, it pays off big time. The little details in the armor, including the sculpted pock marks all leap to the fore. Articulation is surprisingly great for a model kit. Its range of movement isn’t as extensive as a Black Series figure, yet it can get into some iconic poses that the figure can’t due to the butterfly shoulder joints. There tends to be some gap at shoulder when posed like that, but it’s not overly noticeable. The decals are a little tough. I need to get into the water decals, but lacking that know-how I stuck with the normal stickers, and aside from a slightly detectable frame around them, all but a couple (like a couple gold circles that are meant to go on his jet-pack) were easy to apply. Bottom line, they’re manageable, and weathering can help hide them. Overall I had a blast with this kit. It took me 3 days, at about 4-5 hours per day to finish, though most of that was spent on paint. If you’re planning on taking paint even further than I did, for example making the jet pack the correct light blue color instead of its molded green, I wouldn’t attempt without an airbrush.

This was fun to put together, had extra pieces and is fully posable.

I’m only halfway through the build, but this kit is so much fun to paint. The sculpt is very detailed and the structure and articulation are fantastic.There are sticker and water application decals and I’ve been using the stickers as they are so small. Even with detail painting over them, they are holding up and look great.If you want some “weekend zen” building and painting a great little kit (at a great price) this one is for you.

I am usually an armor modeler for 30 + years. I have never built a Star Wars model (even tho I remember watching it at the drive in ...back in 1977. MY nephew is a big Star Wars fan, and he always wants to me to build bigger then 1/35 scale models... So, I bought this Bandai Boba Fett, and have to say for it being a snap tight kit, which I haven't done in over 35 years, cool kit. And the figure is fully posable and articulated. The detail is very nice and crisp. I will be of course gluing this kit and adding my flare to it with painting and weathering. It does not need painting if you want a basic toy or display model but being a seasoned modeler can't wait to customize it. If it all works out i will be buying more of the Bandai line. It comes with both stickers and decals, i highly recommend using the decals over the stickers, All -in-all a great kit for beginners or a nice weekend project for more experienced builders. The pictures are painted custom and are not what kit looks like!!!

This is a MODEL KIT. An exceptionally amazing, fantastically detailed, hyper articulated MODEL KIT. Please do not buy this if you want an action figure that looks just like the picture, because that is not what you are going to get. What you WILL get, though, is a cool model with more points of articulation than the Star Wars Black Series Boba Fett from Hasbro. You will get to have a lot of fun putting together this awesome looking kit for an hour or two, and if you have about two ounces of painting skill you can make it look just like the picture. The majority of the figure is molded in colored plastic, so the jumpsuit is grey, armor is green, etc. If you have ever put together a Gundam model kit from Bandai, you know what you are getting into. The joints on the kit are rubber, so they won't wear down and get wiggly after a while, either.Instructions are in Japanese, but there are lots of pictures, so it really isn't hard to figure them out.I have put together a ton of models in my life, and this is one of my favorites. After building this one, I can't wait to pick up the rest!Oh, one final note: The scale is the SAME as the Black Series action figures, so you can display them together without any scale issues.Seriously fantastic model, especially considering the price.

This was a satisfying build that I spread out over a couple weeks. Some will probably finish it in a weekend of dedicated work.It's comparable to a high grade Gundam and like those it will take some extra finishing if you want it to really shine.I wasn't fond of how the package and instruction manual photos all show it painted. The armor is flat colors and you'll need a silver marker or paint to make it look worn.The biggest complaint I had was that part of the waist is shown with color separation between the belt and cloth areas that isn't present in the model. You won't notice if you're not paying attention but as the one building it, it stood out to me.Don't let those minor grips stop you from enjoying this. It's a fun build at a great price!

Good model kit easy to assemble also has a great detail
