![]() Why this was decided is anyone’s guess given the incredible detail which has gone into every other aspect of the character. It’s a shame that unfortunately Boba isn’t quite ready for the new softer material capes and is instead stuck with the more paper-like material. The final additional piece is the cape which hangs off to one side as if pushed there by the jetpack on Fett’s back. ![]() It is incredibly basic in detail but provides more than enough to bring that element of the character to LEGO. The character’s jetpack is also included, in the form of a separate purpose-built piece which connects via the neck. With perfectly replicated detail, as well as additional battle scarring, the helmet is the perfect representation which fans of the character will recognise instantly. While the headpiece features very little in the way of impressive, unique detail, the helmet could have been lifted straight from the movie, it is that well recreated. The only disappointment here is that the arms have no printing on them, the harpoon is missing as well as the orange shoulder plates, this isn’t the end of the world, though. It is an impressive design which looks stunning on the completed minifigure. Every aspect of the character’s armour is here, from the gold plating on the knees to the battle scarring on the green and silver chest plates. The body of the figure is extensively detailed, featuring printing covering both the legs and torso pieces. This latest design is by far the most aesthetically accurate and pleasing, featuring more detail than any variant before. The character has seen a number of variants produced over the years, each iteration improving on the previous model. ![]() The minifigure also features mini-legs, like those used for hobbits in the Lord Of The Rings theme sets.ĭespite the inspiration for the set coming from a Han Solo-heavy scene, his big goodbye at the end of Empire, the star of the set is definitely Boba Fett, the minifigure is a glorious recreation of one of Star Wars most popular characters. While this may be accurate to the source material, it is incredibly underwhelming when compared to the head, the outfit print is simplistic at best with only the bare minimum included. Interestingly, the detail on the rest of the body is fair generic as the design features blue and grey workman’s overalls, a brown belt and name tag, printed on both the front and back of the main torso piece. This is thanks mainly to the purpose moulded headpiece which, unlike the other two minifigures in the set, isn’t the standard size or shape and instead features an incredible amount of individual detail not found on standard figures. Like many Star Wars alien recreations in bricked form, the minifigure has a very distinct look, unlike anything you’re likely to have seen previously. Despite the unnamed character being the only set exclusive, the inclusion of Solo and Fett boost this sets collector value considerably.įollowing his appearance in both LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy and LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, this is the Ugnaught’s debut into physical LEGO. The set includes Ugnaught, an unnamed alien from Cloud City, Han Solo, and the infamous bounty hunter Boba Fett. The minifigures in this set are certainly going to demand attention, two of which are, quite frankly, legendary in the Star Wars Universe. At a budget-friendly price and including two of the most popular characters in science fiction history, there is definitely a great deal going for this set before we’ve even opened the box. I’m sure I don’t need to remind Star Wars fans of the scene from The Empire Strikes Back, where Han is captured and frozen in carbonite. Now, nearly six months after the phenomenal success of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, LEGO has turned back the clock to a time when there was only one trilogy and taken one of the most iconic scenes from the saga as inspiration for a modestly priced new set, the Carbon-Freezing Chamber. ![]() For the most part, these sets were incredibly successful, bringing fresh new characters to every Star Wars fans collection. Minifigures: Boba Fett, Han Solo, UgnaughtĬast your mind back to September 2015 and with the most anticipated movie release of the century looming, Disney and LEGO announced the release of a wave of sets inspired by the latest instalment, ranging from Rey’s Speeder to an updated Millenium Falcon set featured an aged Han Solo. While it has been years since the hype of Star Wars has hit the heights of the last twelve months, it is safe to say that the stories from a galaxy far, far away have been entertaining the masses for nearly forty years and although tie-in merchandise has always been popular, LEGO has done amazing things over the last decade for the Jedi.
