Tbh it’s not worth it. Yes! I agree! Bandai had the Jedi and Sith heads/eyes in reverse! If it was the other way, I would have kept mine. And the figure is shorter than his episode 2 version! This figure made me give up on SHF Star Wars.
Just opened my Boba Fett, and..."disappointing" is too strong a word, but I think "underwhelming" fits.
I got mine too, but haven't opened it up yet. What are your issues with it? FWIW I like this design a lot more than the last version. The full soft goods skirt looked weird to me, and the armor was kind of plain
I'm not sure I can articulate it very well. Star Wars and Marvel imports are typically better than Hasbro releases, and this is no exception. It's just that sometimes they're not "this is abolutely worth the price difference"-better, and I think I feel that way about Boba. My only specific gripe is the arm articulation. Neither arm is great, but the right one especially is hindered by tight cables that run from the gauntlet to the shoulder.
looks like i’m buying the official version also. Free shipping is nice! S.H.Figuarts 15th Anniversary Campaign -SON GOHAN BEAST-

Welp. Hopefully, he doesn't reach his limit super quickly because I likely won't have the funds until another week or so. Damn. Just had to make both Gohan Beast and Orange Piccolo web exclusives.
Lol! Resorting to a different tactic. Probably that strategy of selling the other figures with Gohan heads didn't work.
Ugh, I will not be happy if I miss out on this Beast Gohan if this thing sells out weirdly quick. I set a reminder on my phone, but yeah not thrilled about this different tactic for P-Bandai exclusives.
it may just be a marketing hype tactic. It’s weird because they’ve never put out one these releases like this before (which that note so prominent) so who knows what they are up to.
Pre-order allocations are typical for the Japanese store preorders and it's not any different from when Premium Bandai does preorder windows for the event exclusives (not the ones that are convention leftovers but additional runs, which notably included a lot of DB SHF releases). Now, is the US PB shop warning about it so upfront because that allocation quantity is going to be much lower? That we'll have to wait and see.
I'm thinking the other figures released from this movie didn't sell well so they're trying this FOMO tactic. Now it's the current manga arc as well so they're probably really trying to sell this.
