Why did you pick ESB or ROTJ Boba Fett?

I chose the ESB version That was always the version i thought of when i thought of Fett. I also liked the uniform Green of the armor gaunts and JP,gave it a very militant feel i thought. I like the flash tube in the blaster better than the ROTJ blaster also. I didnt like the multi-colored JP of the ROTJ version,or the helmet, or flamethrower design. the only thing i actually like from the ROTJ Fett is that the gaunts are red, and the grey jumpsuit is cool. otherwise, i just plain ol' like the details better on the ESB Fett

My Fett for Halloween was ROTJ, but I'm converting it to Empire Strikes Back Fett. Why? IMO, Empire Strikes Back was by far the better movie, and I tend to agree with the people saying that Fett is a bit more ****** in ESB. Also I feel that an ESB costume represents Fett's epic first appearance on the big screen, whereas a ROTJ costume more represents his pitiful death at the hand of his own jetpack 
Either way though, like some have said, it's the same character so it's all about personal preference!

I went ESB because I had to start with one version.
No matter if he has the green armor or the ROTJ armor, even the PrePro-Versions!
He is just the Fett Man! I like the way this character has been created and the way he spreads this kind of "mystery".
So for a true Fett Fan there´s only one choice: Try to get every version!
I already started getting ROTJ parts after I assembled my ESB and the helmet for PrePro 1 is on the way.
You see: Fett is a never ending hobby! And that´s what makes it so special!

Well I went ESB for the same reason as others said, he was just tougher in ESB. He was the only Fett who accomplished his job. One of the members here used to have a signature that said something like "what did your Fett do today? get your head chopped off? Die screaming like a girl into a huge vagina? Hunt and capture a notorious bounty?" and that sealed my choice.

I did ESB because of the unityof the green gaunts, armor, backpack etc. All the Fett versions are cool though.
Another reason I picked ESB is because I have a bit of a belly... the ammo pouches lined up in front would have made my belly seem to stick out more. Its not as bad with the ESB.
... I know... I should be called Boba Fatt:wacko

I'm starting a Boba build, and I'm going to end up with a SE Boba, simply because I have come to enjoy the looks of the combination of armor.

Because of the women. Yes, they can't resist the ROTJ.
Okay, no, I'm doing a SE just because that's what says Boba to me. The ROTJ outfit looks closer to the Prepro 2, which is how most of us first saw him, and yet it's a costume that was actually seen on screen. Add to this the better helmet and you've got the SE.
I hear all the time how people don't like the technicolor scheme, but that's how he was originally envisioned . . . having "borrowed" different bits and pieces from different places.
The all green ESB scheme is kind of blah. I also prefer the more intricate blaster in ROTJ. Always wished the prepro sling blaster had seen screen time too, though.

I went ROTJ partially for his colors, but mostly for sentimental reasons. I'll have to call it SE for a bit :facepalm, until I find a ROTJ helmet or repaint my MR

ESB all the way for me.
1. It's the best film of the seven SW films.
2. It has a more military feel to it (no clown JP paintjobs).
3. It was the version Jeremy Bulloch was made by TDH team - that was the clincher for me.

1. esb fett is tougher than rotj fett
2. i like the gauntlets better
3. i used to like the rotj jetpack because he actually used it in rotj, but the esb is more appealing to me now
4. better helmet
5. you get the sidearm, and I find the blaster rifle more interesting and complex
6. first movie appearance
