Can I get an opinion on these gauntlets

Can I get an opinion on these gaunts

Hi guys,

I bought these gauntlets just over a year ago and I don't know, I just don't know if I'm happy with them. I was told they were Ruffkins but I'm not sure.

They were about the first thing I bought, and I know they need work on the darts etc, but can anyone with a good eye for detail check out these pics and offer ANY kind of opinion??

Right gaunt:

Gauntlets7-1.gif





Left gaunt:

Gauntlets19-1.gif

Gauntlets18-1.gif

Gauntlets17-1.gif

Gauntlets14-1.gif





So what do you think guys? Don't be scared to offend!!!
If anyone wants to see more detailed pics just let me know.


Thanks a LOT for your views!! (y)

those don't look like the ruffkin gauntlets i used to have. dunno if those are older or newer, but they are definitely different. rocket is softer, hose connectors different, etc...

The flamethrower nozzles look long and I thought that the hose connectors, both come out of the same spot, not one out the bottom?

Thanks for the input Brian, thats what I'm looking for!!
Please dont be scared to say if they're good/bad/whatever!

BobaFett007: Yeah I think the flamethrower nozzles are wrong, not sure on the hose connectors, maybe someone else can shed some light...?


If anyone can ID these gauntlets I'd be extremely grateful!!



Feel free to chip in guys, I wanna know what you all think of these...?



Thanks,

Pauly

Just kidding mate, those look good. I'm not sure of their maker, however.

Well not to sound mean, but it could use a new paint job and maybe a new rocket for the left gaunt. The rocket detail to me is too soft. I saw someone here offering a good rocket not too long ago. The darts should be replaced(but you mentioned that already). Just my two cents, please don't be offended.

they look a little small to me... and i have to agree about the rocket, its just not right. but for the most part, they dont look half bad to me.

Naas: You frightened the life out of me there bro!!! :D
Thanks for the compliment though!! :D

Solochaser: No offence caused mate, this is exactly what I was after. All criticism is constructive!!!

Honestly guys! Be as brutal as you like!! I want to make my gauntlets as authentic as possible!!!

Frerr: I'm fairly sure they're the right size, I guess my hands are deceptively large!!
If you/anyone wants to see photos of them on my forearms, let me know!!

Ruffkin: Thanks for chipping in mate! Who/what is RA?

Thanks everyone for your opinions. I'm actually starting to feel good about my gauntlets now!! (y)


Keep them coming!!!!

Thanks for the heads up Asok! I like that word - cheap!
You too B P, thanks for letting me know!!

It puzzles me though, who would buy a Boba left gaunt and a Jango right?

Yeah, apart from me!!! I mean, someone must've bought these in the first place, before selling them to me...
Why would they not go ALL Boba or ALL Jango...?


So basically I need to upgrade the rocket/darts/flamethrower and repaint, and I'm good to go??

:D
Might be a little while!!

I noticed that the dental expander on the left gauntlet is in the open position, it should be in the closed position.
