medicom's 1/6 jango fett

who is Jango Fett?

"The name Fett carries with it a cold air of dread and competence. To those with the credits to hire him, it is synonymous with success. To those with reasons to fear, Fett means capture or death. The name and reputation are just two of the many things Boba inherited from his father, Jango. In the final years of the Republic, Jango Fett was regarded as the best bounty hunter in the galaxy." via]

yep, Papa Fett was kicking Jedi-ass even before young Boba donned his daddy's decapitated helmet, and now Medicom Toys is set to release a 1/6th action figure of Jango! [via]

*images and details after the jump*


based on his first (and only) appearance in Star Wars 2: Attack of The Clones, this 1/6th Jango is stated as an October 2007 release @ a SRP of 18,900YEN / USD$160

personally, i find this figure thoroughly "attractive", after the mockery disappointment of the Hasbro-release (reviewed here on MWCToys) - not least of all the decent head/face-sculpt and especially the faux-pleather-vest with armor-plates (as opposed to the moulded variety of times past), and totally digging the blaster-belt! wot a beauty innit? ~ IMHO anyways :)

i reckon it'll be quite a scene if ya place your Jango and Boba side-by-side in
battle-ready pose, innit? *schweet*
