Sideshow Collectibles has done it again.
As of February 18, 2010, a life-size bust of the legendary bounty hunter is available for pre-order. Priced at $800, it is definitely one of the more pricey Fett collectibles to be added to our bounty databanks. The bust weighs in at 35 pounds and stands 30 inches high.
Before its release, Sideshow released a teaser video for the bust featuring the statue and scenes from the films:
