Boba Nostalgia

Each year (recently) Hasbro has been offering mail-away figures for their Star Wars line. You send in a bunch of UPC codes off the backs of other Star Wars action figures, plus a couple of bucks for shipping and handling, and they send you an exclusive figure. This year, in conjunction with the release of the new Vintage line, they offered a throwback Boba Fett. This is an entirely new sculpt made to look exactly like the original mail-away figure from 1979-80, except this one can actually fire the missile out of his backpack! Check out the comparison between the new mail-away (left) and the 1979 orginal (right). Spot on!
