Great pose man.. thats how i have my 1/6th

Yeah guys, great pictures of a truly magnificent looking figure. BUT, the "t-visor" being that off is enough for me to cancel, gorgeous figure though.

Not being a Fett aficionado, how "out of place" does the ESB sidearm look with the ROTJ version?

This guy just looks quality. Nice pictures!

I'm having a hard time deciding here. Getting 1/6 Fett without a doubt. Do i get 1/4 too? My whole collection is 1/6 so he will look out of place but on the other hand he's Boba F'ing Fett!

Keep the scale, I agree with what others have mentioned. Because you will see vader, stormtrooper and many other releases soon in 1/4 - are you going to get them too?

I guess it's nit picking but for me it's so distracting, the gun just doesn't belong, that and the t visor throw me off so much. But that aside the rest of it looks incredible. Congrats to those getting it.

If someone said that 1/1 real suit, its will fool me. Its really that good, that chipping effect just crazy.

Coming from someone who knows a little bit about Fett.. the sidearm is cool to have! I love that they did the nemrod holster and pulce instead of the marmit sidearm, which just makes it really cool to have even if not displayed. It's very cool for those who know the difference!

Only things that bother me aside from the inaccuracies of the helmet, which I guess you can live with... is the color of the FLIGHTSUIT. What the F. I don't know if it's just the photos that people have posted recently, but why the hell is the flightsuit blue? Two HUGE major distinguishing factors between ESB and ROTJ is gauntlet color and flightsuit color (at a quick glance) these two things should always be consistent. The flightsuit for ESB is a grey/blue, and the flightsuit for ROTJ is a more sandy tan/grey color. That is the major issue for me. That at a glance I can see it's ROTJ from the gauntlets but ESB from the flightsuit and thus an identity crisis

don't get me wrong.. it's a beautiful figure. Details are relentlessly gorgeous. But again.. and again.. and again and again and dammit again.. we have to say to ourselves with these figures at these prices with the talent on hand, why go so far out of your way to make such an incredibly detailed figure and then get something like the color of the flightsuit wrong? Shouldn't that be the easy part? It's just a color swatch of fabric, did it not get reviewed before it went into production? The flightsuit is incorrect.

The suit's color is absolutely fine. All of the flight suits were dyed in the same bath, including the RotJ. You're thinking it's sandy/tan because of the weathering that was done to the suit after the dye bath.

The material for all the flight suits are the same, and although some of them might have been left in the bath for longer periods than others (ESB), they all started off as white and were dyed blue. There's no sandy/tan material anywhere.

This photo should illustrate it nicely. It's clear that the brownish color was added over the dyed-blue flight suit (especially the area under the flap - quite blue):

I'm going to side with JCFett on this one.

Solely due to his instagram.

Perhaps my choice of saying "tan" was not the right way of describing it, and I know where you're going with that, the ROTJ flightsuit was actually allegedly the same flightsuit that was used to film in ESB, as well as parts of the armor, for the flightsuit they added in additional earth tones and other weathering for the ROTJ scenes. Over time the flightsuit also lost it's blue. Which from experience is exactly what happened to me, which you can see by my instagram link that I just recently redyed blue. I first had my suit dyed blue in 2008, and since then the blue gradually faded from use and trooping and eventually ended up looking like the ROTJ, just naturally. So yeah I whole heartedly agree with your angle, and the understanding of how it was done, however if we are talking screen accuracy, for an ROTJ version of Boba Fett that flightsuit is incorrect with all these things set aside. It is part of the look, just like the solid green cape and red gauntlets and specifically painted jetpack are all parts that make up ROTJ. From the photos I am seeing it looks to be a darkish almost blue flightsuit. Which maybe if I wait 10 years and display it in my livingroom it may fade to the correct color LOL. But as it stands for me, seeing how much the figure visibly displays an incorrect color.. it throws it off for me.

My flightsuit, which was initially blue... after years of wear naturally turned this color weird grey/tan color


My flightsuit after being redyed for ESB


Also I feel that non-blue light grey / tan colored flightsuit all around is what is accepted universally in the Fett community as the ROTJ version. It's what is suggested on the dented helmet forums and it's part of 501st clearance, so let's start with that. There should be no blue at all in that flightsuit.
