Force fact:
Originally appearing on the later 20 back cards as the first of many Star Wars send away offers this figure’s first carded appearance was on the Star Wars 21 back card. The action figure was offered as a Mail Away figure via offer sticker on fronts of 20 back Star Wars figure cards. The Fett is the 21st figure as seen on Star Wars 21 Backs and the first of the six Bounty Hunter figures.

The figure original was to come with a missile that fired from its backpack. Kenner got worried about the safety of the tiny projectile and released Boba Fett with the missile permanently glued to its backpack. No Missile Firing Boba Fetts were ever manufactured nor shipped to customers.

Variations: Boba Fett figure has one major variation that is highly sought after the Tri-logo version. The sculpt itself is basically the same minus the lack of a COO* stamp (country of origin) but it is molded in a very light blue plastic.

There are four minor variations in the Tri-logo Boba Fett. Thus far the Tri-logo version of Boba Fett has only been documented on European cards.
