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!

I can’t say enough good things about this model! It comes with Japanese instructions (I can’t read or speak it) but the pictures are enough to understand what to do. This model is so detailed and what makes it even better is the different angles of articulation it has! You can pose it any which way and it looks really good doing so. Do yourself a favor and get some big tweezers (if you don’t have them already) for the stickers and tiny parts like his knee cap missiles. You don’t need glue for any of the parts they all snap together easily and lock in tight. The model comes with different hand configurations so you can pose him with clenched fists or open hands ready for which ever weapon you choose. Overall this is by far the best model I’ve put together and has started a new hobby for me for sure. All the Bandai models look amazing!

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.

Amazing I loved it!

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!!!

Easy to assemble. The pieces fit well. Needs paint to look good in my opinion

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.

This is the first model kit that I've painted and I'm happy with how it turned out. The model kit is fun to build and pretty standard in terms of Star Wars model kits. Nothing too delicate except for the tube in the right arm. Only a clipper is needed to take out the pieces and snap together so it is easy to build. The mold of the plastic pieces are detailed and look great. The articulation is generally pretty good and I got some good poses out of it. With all that being said there a a few minor notes/ complaints. Most of the decals/ stickers either don't stick well or looks ugly when put on. It is highly recommended to paint the model or it will look plain. Some kits can look great without paint but not Boba Fett. The black T-visor is made with a different plastic and can easily be scratched so be careful. Also the articulation around the wrist and arm is limited, especially while holding the rifle with a long stock.

The item is detailed to the T. All the parts fit properly and looks really amazing when finished

Excellente maquette super détaillée, facile à monter malgré la notice en japonais. Attention à la fixation du holster et au câble du bras droit qui sont fragiles et cassent facilement. Idem pour la visière ne la rentrez pas avec l'ongle sous peine de rayures...sinon parfait. Nécessite un travail de peinture pour vraiment donner tout son potentiel.

Great detail. Instructions were clear and assembly was easy. I built it in two days and am very happy with the outcome. For anyone thinking of getting it you won't regret it, just buy a silver paint marker that works on plastic as the scratch marks and blaster marks have to be added yourself.

En primer lugar hay que centrarse en que es una maqueta y, 9ara que quede como en la foto, hay que montarla y pintarla. Dicho esto es una gran serie de maquetas sobre Star wars. Esta en concreto es una bonita réplica de Boba Fett. Fácil de montar, con sólo unas 80 piezas, y te permite decorarla con pegatinas en caso de que a ti los pinceles te den miedo. Producto muy recomendado.
