Hasbro Reveals New Boba Fett Figure Inspired By Original Concept Design And More
Add Them To Your Collection!
One thing fans look forward to when a big time movie or series is announced is the inevitable line of action figures and memorabilia that will come with it. Star Wars may even take the cake for this as excitement grows around The Book of Boba Fett. StarWars.com’s Bring Home the Bounty series has announced that every Tuesday there will be another collectible and on demand print released. Fans can expect a wide variety of treats and a second weekly gift on top of a new episode every Wednesday.
If the first sets of items is any indication of what we can expect it seems like the releases will feature the plot of the weekly episode heavily in the design. It would seem to only be a matter of time before characters like Fennec Shand and some of the new characters will get their due. It is nice to see companion collectibles released as the series unfolds as it means every week will be a complete surprise. It sure will keep fans on their toes watching and then waiting to see what the cool new collectible will be.

The first in the Bring Home the Bounty series is a Boba Fett action figure, which imagines the design of his armor as it was originally intended in the colors of a super trooper. The design we saw in the original trilogy was a redesign of this concept as the filmmakers did not want to entirely scrap the concept.
Along with the collectible action figure there is a hooded sweatshirt that features Fett in the center accompanied by two Tusken Raiders at his sides. This is a nod to the first episode of Book of Boba Fett where Fett spent most of that episode imprisoned within a Tusken Raider camp.
The next item is a t-shirt depicting the leader of the Tusken Raider clan, which is a cool collectible.
The final item in this first series will have you be the envy of the grocery store as it is a reusable tote bag, which is perfect for those who wish to shop in style.
Hopefully, there will be some surprise cameos within the series so long-term fans can add some iconic faces to their collections. It is not as if they do not have them already. For collectors, adding something new is never out of the question, especially with something like Star Wars, which tends to release some very cool limited edition memorabilia.
The Book of Boba Fett series itself is already unpredictable. This is all previously unexplored territory for the gamed bounty hunter. Now, with this partnership with Hasbro it makes the experience even more unique. It is very rare to have a series of collectibles released simultaneously with a show's release. It definitely seems like a model other companies may want to take on in order to boost interest in their own projects. It is also a conversational piece for those who are planning on buying the entire collection as it drops. This is essentially free advertising for the show, bringing more traffic to the site as the series progresses. It is a genius marketing strategy.
For now we know for sure that we will be looking forward to weekly episodes and weekly swag. That is a big win for fans. The Book of Boba Fett is already looking to become the series that keeps fans engaged the most. It is a fun direction with the potential to have memorabilia to commemorate the season as it happens could continue to sway the conversation long after the first season is over. What a good time to be a Star Wars fan heading into early 2022. If this is any indication of the fan involvement, we can expect 2022 to be the biggest year to date for the galaxy far, far away.

Comrades In Misery - How A Stormtrooper Got Into The Sarlacc Pit
Chapter 1 of The Book of Boba Fett finally answered a question that fans have been wondering either since 1983 or at least since October 30, 2020, when Boba Fett first appeared in The Mandalorian. How did the bounty hunter Fett escape the Sarlacc? The old Expanded Universe had answered this question already back in January of 1996 when Bantam Spectra’s anthology book Tales from Jabba’s Palace included a story called “A Barve Like That: The Tale of Boba Fett.” In this story, Fett made telepathic contact with a being named Susejo, who had fallen into the Great Pit of Carkoon several thousand years ago. While his body was digested, his consciousness slowly merged with that of the Sarlacc. Fett made Susejo/the Sarlacc to contract around his jetpack, causing it to explode. He then used some concussion grenades to free himself from the creature, leaving it badly wounded but still alive, much like himself. The Book of Boba Fett’s “Stranger in a Strange Land” now delivers the official cannon version of how the bounty hunter escaped the slimy innards of the creature. It is not too different from the Legends version. He uses his flamethrower and the oxygen of a deceased Imperial stormtrooper who had also fallen into the pit during the Battle of Carkoon!
