Star Wars Episode 2 Jango Fett Slave 1

... I went to other sites to see additional pictures of the new Slave I and finally decided to buy it.I got it yesterday, and boy, am I glad! This new Slave I honors the whole Fett concept: it's the ultimate bountyhunter ship for the most infamous bountyhunter(s), with an assortment of secret weapons. The new concealed missiles and sonic charges are really a plus, although the rotating missile launcher of my toy tends to fail.Comparing the new and the old Slave I, there's a striking difference. The new toy is heavier and has more fuselage parts, but is far, FAR more detailed and proportioned than the old one, which looks blunt in comparison.And I don't miss the opening hatch that much, since this toy is NOT scaled to the action figures' size (An accurately scaled Fett figure for this ship would be 1.5 inches tall at most).So, this one is heavier, more proportioned and more accurate... but above all, it really is FUN, even if you're 25 years old.

Got this for my husband, for father’s day, and he LOVED it. It was EXACTLY what he wanted.

Seldom does Hasbro actually go back and improve upon an existing mold to a re-released vehicle (or completely start from scratch as they have done with Darth Vader's Tie Fighter and Luke Skywalker's Power FX X-Wing Fighter). That's just what they have done for the infamous Slave I from Attack of the Clones and the result is pretty impressive. The detailing on the body is ultra-sleek and is nearly superior to the original version released in 1980 for the Empire Strikes Back and is a considerable upgrade from the 1996 Shadows of the Empire issue which had some improvements to body detailing (gone were the tacky adhesive decals) but was still basically just another rehash. For the new Episode II version, Hasbro has made extensive design improvements. Gone is the rotating cockpit chair. Instead, there is now a cockpit hatch on top which lifts open to accomodate 3 action figures instead of the former one. The gravity-rotating stabilizers have now been replaced by manually operated fins that can be turned 45 degrees. The detailing on the newly sculpted stabilizer fins is worth the loss of the automatic action features in this case. The pivoting laser cannons are smaller and made more to scale with its movie counterpart with 360 degree pivoting action that makes a clicking sound when turned. Two new exciting features have been added. A rotating concusion missile launcher that deploys from a hidden hatch and fires 4 missiles to re-enact the chase with Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter in the asteroid field. Slave I also deploys 4 sonic charges. With all of the design improvements to this vehicle, it would seem to be superior to the original but unfortunately it is not without some compromise. Perhaps the most disappointing aspect of this new design is the inability to open the side cargo hatch and loading ramp. It would have been fun to recreate the scene from the film where Jango Fett and his "son" Boba are loading their ship to escape from Tipoca City just before Jango's duel in the rain with Obi-Wan on the landing platform. Unfortunately this is the only feature from the original design I would like to have had remained intact. For that reason, I have to subtract one star from what otherwise would have been a five star vehicle.

Bought for my 6 year old son for his birthday & what a great toy this is. Once it’s out of the box, there are just a handful of stickers to apply and the wings to simply click into place and Slave 1 is ready to fly! It comes with 8 missiles and four seismic charges, but sadly no pilot (I bought the Jango Fett figurine separately). Four of the missiles can be loaded into the launcher at the front of Slave 1 and the four seismic charges loaded into the tail.On the back/underside of the ship is a perfectly sized handle for little hands which is great to hold for ‘flying’ the ship, and there is also a button for deploying the charges and another one that you press and then rotate to ready and then fire the missiles. There are twin cannons on the tail of the craft which rotate 360 degrees. The cockpit opens with room for what looks like two or three figures to go into the craft and the cockpit clicks shut easily enough. The ship is robustly made and has great levels of detail. The paint on the craft looks ‘weathered’ like it should and the underside of the ship has some good engine details.I’d say this is relatively expensive toy but it is also great value and above all else it’s just great fun!
