Hi,

I have this Boba Fett minifig which seems to be an unlisted combination. I got
this from a bulk purchase of Lego from a 14 yr old kid. I doubt he put something
custom together himself.

The minifig I have has a blonde braid on the torso and a tan cape without mark
and the head is the Grimacing face. This combination doesn't exist on BL.

So what I have is:

Blonde braid
Tan cape no stripe

On BL there are two versions listed:

Item No: sw0822
Brown braid
Olive green cape no stripe

Item No: sw0711
Blond braid
Dark Tan cape with stripe

I dont think the tan cape I have is dark tan or olive green, its tan or beige.
If that is consider dark tan on BL, then I still have a different Boba Fett,
than the 18 listed on BL.

thoughts?

Ha! I hear you, considering all the other random stuff I got, you might be right.
LOL.

But seriously, you think this is not an official version? I wonder then how he
would have mixed it up, as there are no other parts indicating he had two Boba's.

Really? At 14 years old, I was constantly creating custom figures. Now if you
got it from a 30 year old collector, you might have a point.


99% chance it's a custom. Just about all minifigures are derived from set
instructions. So unless you can find a set that shows that specific combination,
then it doesn't exist.

The reason I am doubting is because there is no indication there were two Boba
Fetts, so how would he be able to create a custom thing without the parts?

Anyway, I don't know if there is a set that comes with this combination,
hence I am asking here

Cheers.

Looks like it's just

 
Minifig No: sw0711  Name: Boba Fett - Pauldron Cloth with Dark Orange Stripe Pattern
* 
sw0711 (Inv) Boba Fett - Pauldron Cloth with Dark Orange Stripe Pattern
Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 4/5/6

They probably lost the pauldron and made a custom one themselves. That does
not look like an official pauldron and certainly isn't olive green. The fabric
texture is wrong. Also you are missing the antenna.
