As you will recall USA Today were the folks that broke the news and gave us our first images of the upcoming Star Wars Black from Hasbro back in February.   So it’s only fitting that they show us the first images of the Star Wars Black SDCC 2013 exclusive – Boba Fett with Han Solo in carbonite block.   We knew this would be the SDCC exclusive as it was announced at the collector press event at Toy Fair 2013 in February.  And I’m sure it’s no surprise that this figure was revealed the day before Star Wars Day – May 4th.

This is the Empire Strikes Back version of the costume with the green gauntlets. He comes with two weapons and his jetpack.   We were told at Toy Fair that it’s just the carbonite block and the packaging that would be exclusive.  This version of Boba Fett would still be available at some point in the line.

The special-edition set is priced at $44.99 and will be sold at the Hasbro booth at the San Diego Convention Center July 18-21.
