Walgreen's Star Wars The Black Series Boba Fett (Prototype Armor) Exclusive is Up for Pre-Order

San Diego Comic Con is nearly here and Preview Night will be kicking it off in less than 12 hours now! What was supposed to be a SDCC pre-order exclusive for con goers has now been opened to everyone who is a Star Wars fan. We mentioned early last month that Walgreens had a few exclusives that would be available for pre-order at San Diego Comic Con first, including this amazing Star Wars The Black Series 6" Boba Fett (Prototype Armor). Well good news Star Wars fans, he is now up for pre-order at Walgreens, but probably should get him very quickly once this word is other there! 

Here is the link to pre-order the Walgreens x Hasbro Star Wars The Black Series Boba Fett (Prototype Armor) figure. 

SDCC 2014 Star Wars Prototype Boba Fett Black Series Walgreens Exclusive

The original, original Boba Fett is back and will join Hasbro's popular 6-inch action figure line, the Black Series. Thanks to StarWars.com for having the exclusive first look! 

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.

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!
