The range finder is loose in the helmet.
On the other bustes,their al stuck on the helmet.
Fragile that is.
Now it was loose in the box.

About the price $150 for a GG SW mini bust of an ES 2500 is unreasonably expensive, even for a deluxe version. Just IMHO

For me comes shippin $ 40 extra on it
Also I recently bought Veers Armory.
$ 239 + 43 shippin + 69,87 global custom
So totall $ 352,87

Now that's bad.
Expensive Mistake from GG with the switch between regular and PGM.
I could accept the regularone.
It's to regular...hahaha!

But it's just 3 times normal price of a regular bust over here in euro.
So this boba fett exclusive isn't so expensive.
They make from $ to euro price.
So the retailers here have a lot of profit already.

Dollar is very cheap at this moment for us.
To bad the shippin rates are high.
And there is no free tax shippin between the Netherlands and USA.
So always there's a change of extra custom fees payment.
Luckely what comes straight from GG I never get a fine.

Well mine arrived today and the gun is broken across the point where the barrel and buttstock meet above his thumb.

Email and pics sent to GG and now I'm waiting to see if I can get a replacement part. If not then it's going back for a full refund.

One thing that I do like that I didn't realise it had was that the head, rather than being on a metal spike like other busts, is actually connected on a ball joint so not only twists left/right but can also be moved up/down too.

Oh wow, a ball jointed head? That's the first I've heard of that. Sure hope that becomes the norm on all the SW Mini Busts.

Ever wish you hadn't tried something? Well my Boba Fett arrived with a damaged gun so I requested a replacement which arrived yesterday. Fitting the gun hand was a bit difficult with both of them but the gun sits properly in the open left hand so I figured that was the way that they're supposed to be. Well I thought that I'd try cutting the metal pin off the damaged hand before I threw it away to see how it fits then and whilst the gun hand fits lovely and the line up with his arm looks like a proper hand would, the left hand is now way too low to hold the gun. The issue I now have is that every time I look at the bust with the replacement gun it looks like the dude's got a broken wrist.

Right (but not according to how it was made) wrist alignment:

Shopafx.com was giving these away free yesterday for every order over $150 on select items. I got one. Still have the original.

HOLY CRAP, got mine today and i expected a carton box and so on. Metal casing and EXTREMELY WELL PACKED with hard foam and all.
This is the best packed bust/statue/prop i have seen so far. Could throw it against a wall and still it will not break inside (do not ask me to try )

The bust looks great, love it. Yes expensive but worth it.
Ofc we paid for this extremely well packaging as well.
