Amazon currently has the Disney Infinity 3.0 Star Wars Boba Fett Figure listed at $9.79 USD – that’s 30% off the original list price. It’s not exactly a steal, but it’s the cheapest I’ve seen this particular figure in a while. If you don’t have him in your collection, you might want to get him now before the price goes back up!

I am so glad they chose to make a playable figure of Boba Fett, because he is a very cool character. He qualifies as a villain, though he’s actually just a mercenary who will work for anyone who pays his price.

He is the only Star Wars character that can fly. Even though the developers limited this ability in the 3 Star Wars play sets for some strange reason, Fett can still reach places that no other Star Wars character can. In the play sets, his jet pack works like the Star Command Boost Pack, allowing him to jump very high. But in the toy box mode, the jet pack gives Boba Fett the full flight capability.

His combat moves consist of throwing various punches for melee attacks and shooting his rifle for ranged attacks. His special move allows him to shoot a rocket from his jet pack. The special move can be upgraded so that the rocket splits into multiple rockets in mid-air and causes damage to a wider area.

His skill tree allows you to add some fun extra moves that are impressive. You can upgrade his blocking move to add a powerful kick after a successful block. If you unlock his On the Hook ability, he gets a grappling hook that you can use to pull other characters toward you. This ability can also be upgraded so that Boba Fett will pull an enemy toward him, attach a bomb, and push them away before it explodes.

Boba Fett can be used immediately in the Rise Against the Empire play set, but he can also be used in the Twilight of the Republic and The Force Awakens play sets once you find his champion coin. He can also be used in the Toy Box Takeover and Toy Box Speedway expansion games, and in the Disney Infinity 3.0 toy box itself.

One additional note: the Rise Against the Empire Power Disc Pack includes a vehicle power disc of Boba Fett’s ship from the Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back movie. It’s fun to fly that ship as Boba Fett and go hunting intergalactic outlaws in the toy box. If you don’t have that power disc pack, I highly recommend it. There are 3 other fun power discs in that pack too. If you want to know more, I wrote about this pack in an earlier blog post.

If you don’t own the Boba Fett figure, now is a good time to pick him up. You’ll get a great new character for your game at a reasonable price, and your purchase will also help support me and my blog.
