This kit is the 1/144 Slave I (Jango Fett Ver.) from Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. The Slave I was previously released in a Boba Fett version — and of course, Boba Fett is both a clone and the son of Jango Fett.

At first glance this kit looks like it might just be a color variant of the Boba Fett version, but surprisingly, quite a number of parts have been newly replaced or added. Compare it closely to the Boba Fett version and you'll see the armor color layout and molds are actually different. Some parts on the underside have been changed too, and honestly the detail differences are significant enough that calling it a simple color variant would be doing it a real disservice — the problem is that the silhouette looks almost identical at a glance, so the changes don't really stand out. T_T

Beyond that, the structural features are the same as the Boba Fett version — the swappable entry hatch and the ability to reconfigure the stand into a landing pose are both carried over. However, the laser effect parts and Han Solo carbonite parts that came with the Boba Fett version are gone, replaced instead by the new parts, while the price appears to have stayed the same at ¥3800.

All in all, it's a finely crafted Bandai Star Wars model kit with that characteristic sharp and detailed molding — a fun build that'll bring back memories of Jango Fett from Episode II. :-)
