Updated Review:  Bret - 12/10/2018 7:05 AM

This character seemingly was created by Lucas for no other reason than to give Jeremy “OG Boba Fett” Bullock a cameo in the prequel trilogy.  It’s great fan service, as Jeremoch Colton didn’t come across as intrusive, nor did it take the viewer out of the story, which, by the time he appeared on screen, was getting serious as Order 66 had just been issued.  The first name is clearly a portmanteau of the actor’s real name.  Perhaps more interestingly, is the last name, which appears to be a nod to “Captain Colton”, the name given to the captain of the Tantive IV in the novelization of A New Hope.  This name was originally thought to be the name of the guy that Vader physically chokes while searching for the Death Star plans, but it was eventually clarified that his name was actually Raymus Antilles.

The figure itself is the first time we have one available to us with Jeremy Bulloch’s likeness.  That’s probably it’s biggest selling point, other than for those of us that just love having background characters to fill out the line.  It uses some old parts (shared with the ROTS Bail Organa).  It falls short of basic super-articulation because it lacks ankles.  This is particularly problematic because, for whatever reason, Colton leans strongly to his left.  The hands are unusually large.There was a review here from when we first published this figure back in the day, but this is all that’s left of it:

His left hand is oddly large, and reminds me of Dave Grohl in the “Everlong” video.

Those hands are sculpted strangely.  The left hand is in what you might call a very neutral position, but for whatever reason, it stands out oddly when compared to the typical “c-grip” hand sculpts across the line.  I guess he can wave hello with it.  His right hand barely grips the blaster.  You can kind of get it to fit if you wedge it in there at an odd angle.  Not sure if this is just a problem with my sample, or if it’s across the board.  In general the body of the figure just seems to be a bit off, giving an almost Herman Munster look to him.  He’s got a separately sculpted belt, but the holster is pretty old school, and is part of his right hip.  The blaster fits a bit loosely in the holster.  Lastly, Colton comes with a headset.  This fits the contours of his head pretty well, thankfully. 

The face itself is actually a decent likeness of Jeremy Bulloch.  I tried a headswap on one of my Boba Fett’s (I forget which one) but it didn’t work.  The helmet from that same Fett didn’t fit well over Colton’s large noggin, so I popped the head/helmet combo from Fett onto this figure’s body In order to take the last image.  There went the dream of an easy head swap for a behind the scenes ESB Boba Fett. 

This is a figure that pulls in two directions.  On the one hand, it’s not a particularly good figure, using an awkward sculpt with dated parts, and it’s just a bland background white guy.  But on the other hand it’s Jeremy Bulloch, and I do love the background characters, regardless of how bland they may be.  As a not very exciting figure, I’d start with a baseline of 7, but it loses a point for the “nankles” (that’s “no ankles” for those of you following at home).  It also loses a point for the awkwardly proportioned body sculpt and loose fitting blaster.  But I’ll give it one of those points back just because it’s Jeremy Bulloch.  So it finishes with a 6.  At least it’s not Jim J. Bullock.  That would be weird.  I guess we should call this the definitive version of this figure. because I don’t think we really want another one, so this will have to do, but it does have plenty of room for improvement as far as most figures go.

Verdict: No Action 

As of this writing, you can probably shop around on eBay and snag this figure for under $25 shipped. 

Verdict Guide:
Re-sculpt = The figure is not definitive, and a new version should be developed.
Re-issue = This version is definitive (or close enough), and shows sufficient secondary market demand to warrant a straight repack.
No Action = This release does not require new attention.
