As a collection, Sideshow’s Mythos series are fine art collectibles that allow the collector to imagine what could have been but maybe never was. Myths meant to be initiated by the eye and completed by the mind.
The Boba Fett Sixth Scale Figure captures the galactic legend of this feared bounty hunter in a never-before-seen way. Boba Fett features uniquely sculpted Mandalorian armour, including his iconic helmet with an articulating rangefinder, a flight suit and vest with body plate armour, knee pads, and weaponized wrist gauntlets. Each aspect of the newly crafted armour is detailed with distinctive Mythos weathering effects, telling the story of many hard-fought battles to capture some of the galaxy’s most elusive bounty. Boba Fett’s unique costume also includes a worn fabric poncho, a kama skirt with utility pouches, ankle spats, and several belts with side and waist pouches.
The Boba Fett Sixth Scale Figure packs a full arsenal of dangerous weaponry, including a removable Z-6 jetpack with articulating rocket boosters, four multi-purpose shin tools, and a tactical knife with an ankle-mounted sheath. He also features a variety of firepower, including an EE-3 carbine blaster rifle, a concussion grenade launcher, a BlasTech DLT-19 heavy blaster rifle with camo wrapping, and a Sacros K-11 blaster pistol. The figure comes with eight interchangeable hands, including a pair of fists, a pair of neutral hands, a pair of grip hands, a right trigger hand, and a left rifle support hand.
Every bounty hunter needs trophies to prove their skill- Boba Fett comes with three shoulder-mounted synthetic-hair Wookiee braids, and three unique lightsaber hilts taken from his fallen targets.

The Sideshow MYTHOS Boba Fett is a fantastic realisation of a cowboy Boba Fett, fuelling the fantasy and allure behind Star Wars’ favourite bounty hunter; escaping the grips of each film, sideshow has produced a series of figures that delve into their respective paths across the galaxy without stepping on any toes, licensed nor literary.
PROS:
– Sideshow’s own perspective of Boba Fett that fits a western build and style, adding to the layer of scum and villainy we’re familiar with on Tatooine.
– Cape has wiring to cater to additional posing opportunities, found along the poncho and the “thigh coats”.
– Multitude of good accessories including firearms, jetpack, hands, tactical knife, and lightsabers. Intriguing and welcomed inclusion of the DLT-19 heavy rifle.
– Differences in detail between this side and those seen in the films creating a more developed, but silent, story between such events; for instance the addition of three lightsabers and poncho, less weathering on his armour, different shoulder pads to those in Empire Strikes Back, the colours on his jetpack, and the colour of his garments underneath his armour.
CONS:
– Magnetic features are found on the figure for the holster and right pouch but not for his jetpack; his jetpack is held by two clips in a similar style to other figures in mandalorian armour.
– His additional hands are not reflected for both right and left sides; despite their slight play and flexibility, he comes equipped with only one right hand with a more extended index finger to grip his EE-3 (despite Sideshow including pictures of him wielding his EE-3 with his left hand).
– The back of his armour is not fastened to his undergarments like his front, perhaps to assist in the fiddly attachment of his jetpack.
– The poncho is not completely wired, hampering the ability for the figure to be ideally posed.
