Boba Fett Life-Size Bust!

[budafett]

Another option is to wait a few years for the efx bucket

Few years isn't an understatement either...

And of course that will just be a helmet, which doesn't have quite the presence of a full bust.

Maybe not the presence, but being that it's molded from the ESB Hero lid, I'll take it. The more I see of this piece, the more I like it, just don't have room for most 1:1 stuff.

One piece I wished I would have pulled the trigger on but other stuff kept coming up. I'll pick it up one day if I can find a decent price on it. This is a piece I like the presence of the SS version more than I do accuracy of just the bucket by itself. Vader is a different story for me though.

True, I just wish the SSC bust had a better paint job. It just seemed like a lazy effort for any realistic battle damage.

Looks pretty good to me

But look at that helmet next to the actual ESB Fett helmet, you can really tell whats lacking

 

[DarthChrisDK]

I wonder why we haven't seen a custom paint of this bust?

Possibly everyone who paid that much for the bust doesn't want to risk ruining it, or the people capable of Re-painting it already have a more accurate hand-made Boba Bust

 

[DarthChrisDK]

But there's always 'someone' who's willing to do it.

Actually, I already "ruined" mine.

 

[Vader AL]

I watched your youtube video last night darthchris...trying to keep from picking this one up, you didn't help.

Alls fair, a signature is a welcome addition compared to a repaint, as I have sever signatures inside my Mando helmet. Also, your photos and reviews of the bust are absolutely top notch, and are one of the main reasons I regret not getting this piece

yep.

MR did a better job, although they screwed the visor up royally.

Although I own the bust (got it for a steal) I may sell it when the efx version eventually hits.

 

[Trengence]

If I remember correctly, MR didn't get the actual Fett helmet used in the movies, it was one of the pre-pros or a stunt helmet, as well as the visor issue. I might just end up getting a bobamaker and commission a proper paint job on it, but we'll see. If you end up selling your bust let me know I might be interested if I can't get in on the efx run, as I've never ordered from them and have no idea how fast they sell out of their products

 

[Vader AL]

eFx can sell out pretty quick on some stuff. The Legend Vader helmet went fast but they had a regular version that didn't go very fast. If they have a two versions of the Fett bucket I bet the Legend version goes fast.

Correct, the MR helmet is actually based off Pre-Production 3 helmet, which is almost identical in many aspects to the actual helmet seen in the movie.

I believe Gino confirmed there will only be one helmet for their Fett helmet. I have the MR helmet (the pinch is actually being fixed as I type this, should have it back soon) but I'll be in line for their Fett offering.

 

[Trengence]

I'll be in line for sure. Does efx do flexpay, or do I have to do all 400$ (presumably) all at once?

 

[Vader AL]

they typically have payment plans. Probably be around 600-800 though. Probably closer to the latter.

 

[Trengence]

yeah, I'm expecting to pay that much, as that's about how much it would cost to get a film accurate one from TDH. Glad to hear they will have payment plans though
