If your like me, you have bought a lot of the Fettster over the years. Then who better then Rebelscum to make sense and catalog and create a cracking article on just about every single one. More then shown above, this is a chunky article, so no skimming, there will be a quiz later!*
When Kenner relaunched the Star Wars toy line in 1995, Boba Fett was included in the second wave, but this figure was based on his appearance in Return of the Jedi (ROTJ). Kenner did finally release Boba with a rocket-firing backpack in 1996...although it was an oversized accessory that was from the toymakers' imagination. It wasn't until 1996 that Boba Fett was finally made into an action figure from TESB...this time as part of the Shadows of the Empire multimedia crossover event, as part of a special comic pack with IG-88. In 2000, Hasbro (who had taken over Kenner) released the Special Edition figure in a unique boxed packaging, commemorating 300 action figures in the Star Wars line. This ultimate version of Boba Fett from TESB featured a very detailed sculpt, extra articulation, and once again came complete with a rocket-firing backpack. This was the definitive version of Boba Fett for several years to come...
