Bandai S.H. Figuarts Jango Fett Star Wars Review

I wanted to like the S.H. Figuarts Jango Fett from Star Wars, I really did. I was pretty sure he would suffer the shortness that Bandai seems to give all of their armored characters so that wasn't a huge surprise. The quality though, that shocked me.

Looks like there was an unmasked head AND the Rocket pack from Kamino. I really hope Figuarts releases that version of Jango, I love the Rocket pack WAY more than the Arena pack.

If he had a removable helmet I would have been sold

It's so weird that FigurArts does so many AOTC figures...

[kazuki]

this make me sad :(
thank you for being honest great review

Even when they first released the official pics, I had my doubts about this figure. The figure is waaaay too _clean_ to be the best bounty hunter of the galaxy. It needs the weathering effects on the jumpsuit and scratches on armour to make it more authentic. Black Series done a much better job on that department.
One thing that COULD have made this figure *shine* would have been to use that Figuarts digital printing magic to create a Temuera Morrison head. That would have been awesome and they missed out on that too.

In another review, I saw that the torso has a joint shift of some sort. It shifts down and limits the movement but it stops the wobble fest. If you try this just be careful you don't break it out of frustration.

Damn man. Kind of a bummer that this guy has so many issues.

[Pipboy-qnsj]

Thank you for reviewing this figure! I purchased it around November and I swore mine was used and damaged but now I see that its just a super loose figure so I feel a little better about this purchase.

Way better in detail and looks than the black series I don’t care about the removable helmet it’s a good little display piece

[brococheda]

Knew Jango looked too good to be true. A crying shame. Thanks for the review! Now I'm certain I won't pick him up. Neat paint job on the Boba Model Kit, btw. Simple but efficient.

[Badgers]

You're probably my favourite toy reviewer. You are so frank with the toys and really honest. It was you that convinced me to buy the Bandai model kits.

Keep up the great work

That waist thing is an easy fix! Unplugged the waist and put a little segment of the wrapp plastic over the balljoint.

[JangoTheBlueFox]

they could have included alor more accessories with this kit. unmasked head, poncho, rocket launcher jet pack, and maybe even a flamethrower effect part.

[DarkShade]

Sad to see the joins being so loose on this figure. I've heard a lot of other people say the same thing about this Jango. Probably just going to stick with my Black Series version.

Great review! Just wanted to give you an FYI on the waist joint....after watching your review about the loose joints I was curious to see if others had the same issue. One reviewer commented that the waist joint is extendable so that Jango can do more dynamic ab crunches. Push the torso down and he doesn't become as floppy as you demonstrated. He's still a bit loose but not that loose. However, extend that waist joint, he is floppy. So maybe you might've had him in the extended position. Also it appeared that the swappable parts on the gauntlet were easy to come off as well so I'm starting to believe that the loose parts and joints is shared by everyone. Anyways, I hope that's useful info for you. Keep up the great reviews!

the waist on the figure is supposed to extend upwards for extra articulation, sort of like drop down hips. when youre moving it around in the video its extended.. if you push down on it so the black isnt showing it becomes tighter.

[Somewhiteguyonyoutub]

It would be nice if he also came with blast effects for his guns and jet pack. With all my iron man figuarts maybe I can get something to work.

[gmoney]

A good and even handed review. I do like the Figuarts line but it goes to show that they don't make perfect figures. My reason for passing on Jango was because of the knees. Maybe it's different on the final model, but the promo shots where his knees are bent looked plain weird.

[jackblackwhole]

yeah, loose joints in waist and more so in legs are common for the shf line. Quality control issue been a big part with bandai lately since they are expanding their figure line in rapid fashion. shame though silve colour looks so good, what bandai known for.

[proxyanon]

I want to buy Jango Fett, but I believe that Black Series is the best option for now. So I will stick with Black Series edition.
