Star Wars Celebration 2022 Exclusive Boba Fett White Armor Edition ARTFX+ Statue by Kotobukiya x BAIT

Kotobukiya is at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2022 this weekend where they have released this awesome Boba Fett White Armor Edition ARTFX+ Statue! The all-white statue is based on Ralph McQuarry’s original concept art for the character in which the beloved bounty hunter wore all white. This all-white costume debuted during a video screen test in 1978. Various colors would eventually be integrated into this outfit to become Boba Fett’s definitive look, but it all began with this all-white version of his signature outfit.

At 1:10 scale, the Star Wars Celebration 2022 Exclusive Boba Fett White Armor Edition ARTFX+ Statue stands roughly 7.5” tall on its included magnetized base. The statue depics Fett standing at the ready cradling his iconic EE-3 Carbine Rifle. The statue is available now at Kotobukiya’s Star Wars Celebration booth #1408, with a select number of statues also available online at BAITme.com for $99.99.

DCon 2019 Exclusive Hello Kitty Feeling Blue Edition Vinyl Figure by Candie Bolton x BAIT x Kidrobot

The Blot cannot believe just how many different colorways Kidrobot has released of this Hello Kitty 9” Vinyl Art Figure by Candie Bolton. Turns out there’s not one but two Designer Con 2019 Exclusive Hello Kitty vinyl figures. Along with the KR DCon exclusive, BAIT is also releasing its very own Designer Con exclusive colorway – the Feeling Blue Edition Hello Kitty figure. Collectors can purchase it at the BAIT DCon booth #1205.

Candie Bolton’s unique take on Hello Kitty represents the emotional and uncertain time of transition into adulthood. With this design, Candie expresses the idea that you don’t need to let go of childhood to be an adult. It expresses the revelation that memories don’t have to be forgotten in order to grow. Hello Kitty has a perpetual childlike innocence to her, but what happens when Hello Kitty grows up? Candie’s imagines Hello Kitty going through these same iconic adolescent events and, despite her uncertainty, never letting go of the magic that makes her Hello Kitty.

SDCC 2018 Exclusive Robotech Hunter Figure by Huck Gee x BAIT

Ok, The Blot has absolutely no idea what the story is behind this figure, but … but … it’s a new Robotech figure by freaking Huck Gee! Is it real? Did I imagine this? Is it vinyl… is it resin?

As Huck explained, “For me, this was the collaboration of a lifetime. Robotech was THE defining animated series of my youth. At the time, it was an imagined world far beyond anything I had ever seen. Mech designs, characters and stories that heavily influenced my pre-teen mind. Still to this day, I hold the Cyclone as one of my favorite mech designs ever. And while I've dipped my toes into Robotech for inspiration in the past, this is an officially licensed endeavor. Not only a collaboration but, for the eagle eyed, attention detailed fan, I may have also re-defined some Cyclone canon. :) What can I say, I like to break things.”
