Affiliate Link – Star Wars 1978 Holiday Special Boba Fett Animated Maquette

It won’t do much good this year as a Christmas gift, but Gentle Giant’s upcoming Star Wars 1978 Holiday Special Boba Fett Animated Maquette looks so damned awesome that I know I’ll be grabbing one. I missed out on the earlier animated-style Boba Fett statue (at Amazon.com*) so that has me seriously focused on not missing this newest design.

Only the truly hardcore Star Wars fans know that the malevolent Mandalorian bounty hunter’s first appearance wasn’t The Empire Strikes Back, but rather the equally infamous Star Wars Holiday Special! The master artisans at Gentle Giant Ltd. have decided to celebrate that first appearance with the latest addition to their Animated Maquette line! Digitally sculpted using footage from the one of the few remaining intact copies of the Special as reference, this Star Wars 1978 Holiday Special Boba Fett Animated Maquette is a dramatic piece that features a very different look for one of the most iconic film characters of all time. This limited edition hand-painted maquette comes individually numbered and is paired with a matching certificate of authenticity.
