Topic: Star Wars: Battle of the Bounty Hunters- Pop Up Comic Book

I picked this up at Forbidden Planet in Belfast (currently studying abroad in Northern Ireland until end of May smile ) for £4.99... anyone heard/seen it before? I thought it was relatively inexpensive for the product, and I got excited seeing Boba Fett merchandise so I didn't think much when I bought it
... I didn't waste my money though, did I? Mine is still sealed, so I'm debating whether I should open it or not if it's a collectible. Or it very well could be worthless, lol, and in the case, I'll open it and have fun with the pop-up action, haha.

So anyone got any info for me?

I've never seen that before, but it looks very cool!

Reality doesn't care if you believe in it.

Re: Star Wars: Battle of the Bounty Hunters- Pop Up Comic Book

It's kind of like a pop-up version of the Boba Fett vs IG-88 comic book that came in the Boba Fett/ IG-88 two-pack of action figures as part of the Shadows of the Empire line.  It's not super collectible, so I say open it and actually enjoy it, you know?  But, if you've ever read the little comic book that came with those figures 2-pack, it's pretty much the same story. 

It's about IG-88's ambush of Boba Fett as he comes out of Hyperspace around Tattooine.  Fett ends up taking out two more of the four IG-88 droids.  The third he took out on Cloud City--you can actually see it's body leaning up against the furnace when Chewbacca is saving 3PO--the other one transferred it's consciousness into the Death Star II computer core; according to the Tales of the Bounty Hunters book. 

Hope that helps.  Have fun.
