Latest Saga Legends Boba Fett Hits Market

by BFFC Admin • Published December 9, 2013 • no comments

The latest Boba Fett in Hasbro’s Saga Legends series is their third release, which sports very different packaging along with minor variations:

• “The Empire Strikes Back” colors (e.g. jetpack and gauntlet color differences)
• 5 points of articulation

The 2013 release is about to be available on HasbroToyShop.com, and has already been available in some stores around the world.

This follows a 2011 release, and then the 2007 initial release, which had “Return of the Jedi” colors and 14 points of articulation.

Ask for the green one. It’s one of three Angry Birds Star Wars buckets includes a Boba Fett bird-ified sticker.

Part of a larger marketing campaign, there’s also a television ad running that includes Boba Fett more prominently: swapping heads with Darth Vader.
