Yes compare it the much derided and failed experiment that Sideshow will never try the likes of again.

It was an extreme example but the comment had merit. Who would have thought the COTD line with zero roots would have succeeded in the slightest? XM is making a killing off of second tier characters.

As much as it was a mess of a character, they just launched a blockbuster film off that mini series. SS just rolled the dice wrong and a little early.

I know what you're saying JAT but I do feel SS could spend more time on the A and B list and not just the AA list. I would buy an exceptional Bossk piece and with his integration in the expanded crap he's solidified in canon.

Here's the problem though is Bossk even "B" list? I'd equate him to the New Warriors in Marvel, and as much as I love him chances of seeing a Dark Hawk PF are slim to none simply because if you ask most casual Marvel fans who he is they'd say "who?" Same goes for Bossk and Cad Bane, most fans outside of the hardcore just aren't going to know them. You have a much better shot at the better known characters and even troopers.

Just saying.

I passed on the first two Fett's due to various issues I had with both pieces. However, this version of Fett really does hit the mark squarely for me. I love what I am seeing here and will be adding this piece to my collection.

Okay, that still doesn't apply to what I was saying, which is the reason you get a Third Fett and No Bossk is because a third Fett will sell more than a first Bossk.

No matter what your willing to eat to get one.
