Walgreens jumped into the exclusives game a little bit ago with releases from McFarlane for Walking Dead and Halo. Hasbro was next with Marvel Legends Agent Venom. The Black Series was next up with a 6 inch Prototype Armor Boba Fett, rocking the now infamous white deco. This was announced during Comic Con 2014 where pre-orders went live. To the dismay of many, Walgreens decided to stock a small amount at each store before fulfilling those pre-orders. So while our fellow toy hunters were out grabbing Whobas, those that jumped in on day one had to sit and wait. Well, for me anyway, the wait is over. Everyone may be talking about Star Wars The Force Awakens (Episode VII) but read on to check some quick thoughts and over 25 shots of Prototype Armor Boba Fett!
Black Series Prototype Armor Boba Fett
Pros
Great mold
Plastic quality is up to par
Slight off-white tones on different parts create depth
Great repaint for a limited exclusive
Cons
Distribution and Pre-Order fulfillment
Overall
Overall a great repaint of a great figure. I was never a big Star Wars toys collector prior to 6 inch black series, and never had any version of the Prototype Armor. Getting a hold of this was a treat, an unnecessary but desired treat. I think it’s a great use as an exclusive, not necessary if you stick to core characters, but if you get one, acts as awesome filler. The figure is actually off-white compared with the Stormtroopers, and actually has several tones of off-white on the figure, so he isn’t just a big white blob. Rumor has it that Walgreens ordered another round, so he should be easier to find in store soon. Keep your eyes peeled, or, if you’re lazy like I am, feel free to check eBay.
Check some key shots here, with the rest below after that!

FINALLY. Geez.
For what was supposed to be a Walgreens exclusive he sure feels like an Ebay exclusive now. Maybe Walgreens should never have been the store to give this exclusive to, They barely dabbled in toys before and it seems that dumping a highly-demanded exclusive figure as their first break in to the field has performed horribly. The people I see on Ebay who have six or more to sell is absurd, in the end Walgreens is almost paying those people to buy this toy up.
Hey what display stand is that, I would want some for my Boba and Voyager Tfs. I got both Boba's at TF Con in Chicago a weekend ago.

Tamashii Stage. This one came with a SH Figuarts DBZ figure, but you can get them solo too.
I thought I read on one of the forums that Walgreen's is still planning to restock Proto Fett's through the holidays, and that stores are now getting cases of 8 of the Fett figures now (as opposed to a mix of Wave 5 characters and Fett). There's always the random post from someone claiming that their store is swimming in exclusives as well, so maybe just certain areas are SOL?
Due to the sheer number of Walgreen's stores in my area, I was able to get 2 of every wave 5 figure (except for Luke, who never seemed to pop up anywhere) along with 2 Fett's pretty easily early on. It seems like folks that were waiting on their pre-orders ended up coming up short though, so I'd agree that at least for online orders, Walgreens dropped the ball. Otherwise, calling around and having stores hold figures for me to pick up in person worked out great.
I would just be patient, they are still shipping. My Walgreens just put a new case of just Proto Fetts out yesterday.
BUT...
You can't take pre orders online for months and then ship to brick and mortar first, skipping your online orders until more arrive. The point of online pre orders is guaranteeing firsties. If it was simultaneous and they start showing up a week or two after first sighting at retail, fine. But this was almost two months. Very frustrating.
I've been watching the website for the "store near you option" and they all just hit my area yesterday. went in tonight and four on the shelves.
It's funny, I just got home because the website said one of my local stores had him, and after talking to the manager I got first dibs on a fresh case. Also picked up Vader to avoid dealing with that in the future. It was a case of 8 with 3 Fetts, 2 Vaders, and one Sandtrooper, Luke, and Chewbacca. Earlier I was bitching about this guy's distribution, now I have one.

Congrats, En Sabah! Just goes to show that you gotta have a little patience with exclusives, haha.
lemme know.
lemme know.
I was just venting about the handling of their early shipments. Pre orders first. In order received. Then brick and mortar. Please, thanks, kbye.
like to know how many people will buy this version paint him any color they want him to be be interesting to see different color version how fans will paint his as
Thanks for link for the stand. Just got them and ended buying a 6inch Vader too. Lol. Now that I have Proto Boba my Walgreens is full of them now. So if your in IL. check the Walgreens on 1st Av. and Ogden in Lyons. Tony I didnt know that these are your photos, great work.
I really hope they do other Mondolorians in the future, like the guys from the republic commando novels.
As for the pics, yeah, anything that gets filed under "Random Photo Shoot" or labeled "Toyark's .... Gallery" in the forum is shot by us, Joe, DESTRO or myself.
