Hasbro Boba Fett Blaster.

I saw it at a local Toys R Us. It is about 6" shorter than the real deal. Would be OK for a mini Fett costume but for an adult Fett, defninitely too small.

I am planning on using one for my little lads ROTJ Fett

I have not found a blaster in the stores yet, but I have seen the helmet.
The helmet is HUGE. Why can't hasbro even try a little bit to match the scale.
The Vader helmet was too small and the Boba is so large. I wonder if they mess
the scale up on purpose.

Would make a great custom for kids and that is about it.

Of course they do. They do it because they're thinking about kids, not people looking to make screen accurate replicas.

Then wouldn't the Boba helmet be to small?

No, because they think of kids for a certain age group and different head shapes (believe it or not, some heads on kids are bigger than others).

Are you trying to tell us you have a big headed kid? LOL.

I just picked up one of those Hasbro Boba blasters and I think they ROCK!
If it is undersize I don't think by much. Painted up I think this would make a great
trooper and even a good display piece. For the budget minded at least.

No, I'm saying I've seen pictures of big headed infants, big enough for you to say, "How the heck did she push that out?"

But back to the topic: Well, the best thing I can think of to tell how undersized it is (if any) is to find someone with a 1:1 scale replica of the blaster, have them measure the size of the gun's individual sections (barrel, body and stock) and then measure that of the toy, to see what the difference in size is.

Here's a comparison pic from a friend and fellow Fett showing the difference in size between an actual Webley casting and the Hasbro blaster (which he repainted):

I'd say changing the stock to an actual sized one would make up the size difference (at least slightly) and also make it acceptable for trooping.

 

[Sidewinder]

Its prob about the right overall size, but none of those parts in that top blaster were cast from a real Webley.

Great for a kids toy or a possible base for further customization for a custom merc.
