Looks like robot chicken

What look for Boba Fett do folks prefer? ESB or RotJ? I think I have a soft spot for ESB.

I slightly prefer the Return Of The Jedi look, which is actually what is in the diorama here, except he is holding the Empire Strikes Back version of his blaster.

ROTJ has a better looking blaster and I like the row of pouches on the front of his belt. The other changes are mostly so slight I'm neutral about them.

Actually, I think that is the ESB rifle. Below is the RotJ rifle.

Yeah, I noticed that and mentioned it in an edit just before your followup, but he's wearing ROTJ armor- red arm armor, row of pouches across the front. He seems to be wearing the Empire Strikes Back helmet in both top picture and your reference picture, since the helmet markings should be red with the ROTJ outfit instead of yellow. So, the outfit is a bit of a mixup, probably because most action figure makers don't really care (and honestly neither do 99% of people).

Either way, all the differences are very minor except for the blaster which is greatly improved in ROTJ. I like it so much, its one of my top five Star Wars blasters.

Edit: This might be the action figure used. ESB blaster, with red forearm armor. I can't make out the helmet markings.
