Going further back, Mythosaurs were first (retroactively) depicted as far back as Marvel Star Wars #69 (1982) with the skull symbol originally being uniquely on Boba Fett's shoulder armor

Jeremy BullochBefore the cameras rolled on #BobaFett actor Jeremy Bulloch in "Return of the Jedi" (shown top center in a candid moment circa 1982), at least three other stand-ins were on set in his place: Quentin Pierre, Roy Beck, and Jack Dearlove
As noted on various call sheets for the original film, well documented when they go up for auction by Prop Store, these actors were stand-ins for several characters and even on screen, like Quentin was one of the Bespin guards escorting Solo in Carbonite for Fett in "Empire"
It's unknown if any of them suited up for camera or lighting tests, but nice to appreciate their role in production history

Elliot names all of his #StarWars action figures for his friend from outer space. At 28 minutes and 53 minutes into the film, Fett is mentioned by name. Since the film premiered in 1982, this marked the first time on the theatrical screen we heard the name "Boba Fett." He wasn't mentioned by name in The Empire Strikes Back (1980), but he was in Return of the Jedi (1983). Thanks to killerofheroes who shared our Fettpedia page on E.T. at http://j.mp/1Q200Zz on Reddit's "Today I Learned", which climbed the charts last week and introduced just about 10,000 Redditors to BFFC.

View on Instagram | TwitterJason Wingreen was the original voice of #BobaFett. We just learned he passed away on December 25, 2015. This is our tribute to him.
Anyone who saw "The Empire Strikes Back" in theaters or on VHS/laserdisc between 1980 and 2003 would have heard his lines. After 2004, DVD and Blu-ray releases were re-dubbed to conform to the prequels and used Temuera Morrison as Boba Fett.
Jason was born October 9, 1920. He was interviewed for Star Wars Insider #49 (May/June 2000) in which he shared this story of the role: "My agent called me and said to go over to the recording studio, where I met Gary Kurtz and Irvin Kershner. Normally, you see the face of an actor you're dubbing, so you have to lip-synch. But that was no problem here -- I could say the lines at any time. I got in position, they ran the film a few times, and I said the lines. Kershner came out and made a suggestion or two and went back in the control room, I did it again, and I was finished."

Between 1979 and 1983, the same mold for the figure was available carded and by mail-away (via proofs-of-purchase or Sears). The spring-loaded rocket pack was never produced beyond some small handful of prototypes, while some foreign versions have removable rocket pieces.
There are some noticeable differences between the figures, such as the embossed copyright mark on the leg either noting Hong Kong (light brown belt and visor), Taiwan (medium blue vs. light blue), or simply no country of origin (COO). But there are also some subtle paint and craftsmanship variations between the Kenner (USA), Kenner Tri-Logo (European, e.g. darker brown), Palitoy (UK), Poch/PBP (Spain, e.g. lighter olive green chest armor, brighter red visor and right wrist gauntlet, and deformations on the legs and rocket tip), Lili Ledy (Mexico), and Meccano (France) releases.

Excerpt: "While most of the film's costume design originated in England, Ralph McQuarrie and [Joe] Johnston designed the Boba Fett outfit at Industrial Light and Magic in California. The costume was built at EMI in London, and then shipped back to Johnston to be painted. Originally the Boba Fett costume was intended to be worn by a squad of supercommandos, troops from the Mandalore system armed with weapons built into their suits. But the costume was adapted for the Boba Fett character by aging, denting, and adding a colorful paint job to one of these suits, while keeping the wrist lasers, flying backpack, and rocket darts originally intended for the supercommandos." #

View on Instagram | Twitter#ThrowbackThursday: This rare photograph of #BobaFett on the Sarlacc set for #ReturnOfTheJedi, dated January 1982, was shown in a #StarWars exhibit at the 2007 San Diego Comic Con.
We took this photo of the exhibit photo, which for some reason was shown inverted. We've yet to see it published anywhere else.

View on Instagram | TwitterThere were only a few artists online dabbling with #BobaFett art back in 1996, the same year when our #BobaFettFanClub first began. This #StarWars artwork from Australian illustrator Tony Bela was a big deal, appearing as a very accurate 3D model with a pro Photoshop finish. Bela shared one version with a clean blue background, and then soon thereafter came out with this version featuring Jabba's Palace.
Check out the original version and also the uncropped newer version:

Almost every day later, he appeared again until the end of the run on August 10, 1980. The #comic from writer Russ Manning and artist Al Williamson was mostly black-and-white with weekends printed in color within the newspaper. The story was later re-published in full color by #DarkHorseComics in "Classic Star Wars: The Early Adventures 9." http://www.bobafettfanclub.com/bounty/books/comics/classic_9/
