Boba Fett and BL-17
Released: 2009 (Wal-Mart exclusive)
Source: Star Wars Droids: The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO
Accessories: Back pack from build-a-droid Darktrooper, Boba Fett's blaster rifle, blaster pistol, and jet pack.
Articulation: Boba Fett: Neck, shoulders, elbows, forearms, waist, hips, knees, ankles. BL-17: Neck, shoulder plating, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles.
Notes: Boba Fett is actually the same figure as the Holiday Special version from 2007's 30th Anniversary Collection, only with different weapons, and BL-17 re-uses some of the parts of the 30th Anniversary Collection's 4-LOM figure.
The Run Down: The first Droids figures since 1985! With this two pack Hasbro finally released the very first Droids figures of the modern action figure line. While this set features very few new parts, (BL-17's head and torso) both figures are an extremely welcome addition to the collections of many Droids fans. It's hard to find anything to complain about with this set, but if I were to choose one minor problem it would be that BL-17's appearance is based more off of the the color scheme of the BL Legionnaire droid depicted in The New Essential Guide to Droids rather than his appearance in Droids
