Kenner Bossk Review

 Slap a yellow dyed X-Wing pilot uniform on a repainted alien cantina scene mask and add some wonky feet and what do you have? A very cool looking bounty hunter, that's who! Well, prepare to get Bossk'd!


This bounty hunter was created as described earlier. Bossk also gets to be the only bounty hunter other than Boba Fett who gets to speak in ESB as he says something to Admiral Piett that isn't subtitled so it must have been some curse words or a very dirty insult. Bossk has the same, simple 5 POA and comes with a new long rifle which he can sort of fit into his right hand/claw. But the paint apps, and especially the sculpting make this IMO the single best figure from ESB, as there is literally nothing wrong with this figure. He is close to screen accuracy which is rare for figures of this time.

Bossk has been popular, especially if you watch Robot Chicken. There he's a cool, suave ladies man like James Bond & Indiana Jones. Many have him as a favorite character and figure. Bossk's Bounty on YouTube is one who has taken his love of Bossk to a high level and has a fun channel to boot! In Marvel's 1980's run he was often paired with IG-88, but in most of Legends he was on his own. His species the Trandoshians don't like Wookiees so there is a natural conflict with Chewbacca.

The bounty hunter gathering on the bridge of the Executor is the Mos Eisley Cantina scene for ESB, and these figures and characters are all fan favorites. I've already covered Boba so coming soon are Dengar, IG-88 and in a single post I'll cover 4-LOM & Zuckuss because they have the wrong names. It's complicated! Images are from Galactic Figures.
