Walgreens Star Wars Black Exclusive: Proto Boba Fett Announced


Hasbro and Walgreens are teaming up with yet another exclusive!  This time is figure from the 6" Star Wars Black line, Proto Boba Fett. This seems like a good choice to go with because it's not really a "must have" figure, so those without access to a Walgreen's aren't missing out too much, but it's still a really cool toy to have in a hardcore fan's collection.

Check out the information, promo photo, and screen-test video below:


Hasbro’s figure is a tribute to this important piece of Star Wars history and design — look for it exclusively at Walgreens this fall, with preorders opening at San Diego Comic-Con later this month!
While Boba Fett’s iconic Mandalorian armor has become one of the most famous designs in all of Star Wars, it started out with a very different color scheme. In early concept art by Ralph McQuarrie and Joe Johnston, seen in the accompanying gallery, the bounty hunter was depicted wearing sleek, all-white armor. On June 28, 1978, Star Wars sound designer Ben Burtt and The Empire Strikes Back assistant film editor Duwayne Dunham debuted the costume with a test video (also available below), detailing its weaponry and functionality; the colors would later be developed to what has become Fett’s definitive look, but it all began with this early version.
