Supreme Fett Costume

I know this has been discussed somewhat before, but has anyone actually seen one of these costumes yet? They're supposed to be ready by the end of Sept.

The helmet looks to be an MR, used for the promo pic, which would seem to be false advertising if that's the case. Everything looks pretty so-so, but hey, check out the jetpack. Pic is really small, but I'd love to know what the quality is going to be like on that.

So has anyone seen one of these in person at a trade show or anything yet?

it's missing the spikes on the toes....and has a hose coming off the rocket?!

For THAT price, I would give the costume as a whole a D-. Start getting your parts from the boards here.....

if i remember right it doesn't come with boots at all. The feet are photoshopped in in the pic.

Oh, I don't need to "start getting" parts. Apart from getting a couple of upgrades, my Fett is nearly done.

I'm just mostly interested in how their product is for academic reasons.

It's actually very interesting to me that the overall costume looks so **** ******, but then they have this fairly decent jetpack on it--but then again, it's hard to say from the size of the inset picture.

I love this topic b/c
a) it keeps coming up
b) noone has any idea what the final product will look like b/c the picture is so manipulated
c) If they use the same quality control on the product they did on this picture it will fail horrible (seriously if the kissy faced gauntlet popped pic is the best can you imagine what the unused pics looked like?)

i kinda want to know what the jet pack is made out of

Here it is! I know everyone is curious to see this screen accurate gem... They say a picture is worth a thousand words... Here is 10,000... If you want to see more pics of the rest of the outfit I'll post em. I thought these summed up the quality quite well. enjoy.

Wow! It looks like somebody fingerpainted the helmet damage. Love the sunflower over the dent.

To be fair, the shin tools look OK.

The Jetpack isn't that bad. The ammo belt looks terrible. Hose coming out of the missile is good fun....

Not really

Holy cow....that's rough...

Please post as many pics as possible so we can all bask in the glory of another Rubies Catastrophic Failure.... lol

the jetpack could be a lot worse. what are it's dimensions? and yes, i'd love to see as much of the costume as possible. maybe even a few shots with it on just to what it looks like on an un-photoshopped human being.

***.....that is terrible...and they want $900 for it

sad....so sad

For $900 I can't believe they don't give you a leather belt.

JP is workable with some heavy mods. The helmet looks like they hired Kindergartners to finger paint on the damage. Shin tools look workable (not good, but usable.), and that gauntlet looks like an epic failure also.

For that price you can put together a nice kit on your own.

It looks like they recast MOW's shin greebs.

Why go through the trouble of putting the details into the ears when the rest of the helmet ... .... uhh....NT said it best....looks like it's been finger painted...(not that the ears are detailed well...just that they are detailed)

Why make the bottom of the shin tools when the gauntlets look like....hmmmm.....uhhhh...the way they do.

The bantha skull isn't even on the shoulder bell straight...

The JP does look alright...is it undersized? It looks like it could be from the pics but without scale refence it's hard to tell.

Thanks for posting these up...get some more taken!

Very interesting, I've been curious as to how the real one would look.

Definitely post up the rest of the gear!

Ok so here are some more shots. These were taken with an iphone, so the pic quality isn't the best in all the shots. It actually makes some of the parts look better! Believe me, as bad as these look in photographs they look even worse in person.

Here is some more detailed shots of the jetpack and a side by side with an unpainted MOW pack.

Inside the bucket and next to a MR SE.

More to come...

Trikaz

And here is the Gauntlets...

Notice the attention to detail on the keypad... Absolutely breathtaking!

And the right gaunt fit me about as well as it did the model in the press release photo.

And some side by side for scale.

More to come...

Trikaz

The girth belt and some soft goods...

And last but not least... The rest of the armor.

They used rivets in the back armor to attach the jetpack. It fell off as soon as I pulled it from the box.

Disappointed is not the word I would use. Just use your imagination and I'm sure that you can come up with some creative thoughts to describe the Supreme Bobo Fett, now available for birthdays and parties.

Enjoy,
Trikaz

Wow...I´ve seen both the Vader and TK in real life and that´s a sad sight in itself. I hope I don´t have to encounter this thing in real life, it´d probably just ruin my day. Hehe.

It´s just a sad thing to ask for peoples money for this. The least they could do is pay someone something like $1000 to take these off their hands and disintegrate it.

I take back what I said about the jetpack...yikes. It's sad, I don't think you can even compare the st and vader to this garbage. And even they aren't anything to be proud of in the least bit.

The Vader looks awesome compared to this gem.

return it. i've seen the cod armor in person, same material as a child's mask (like the one's in the early 80's). jumpsuit can not be washed i've heard. i could destroy the whole costume with one hand. they should charge 100.00. which would be good for one night. but for 7-8 hundred their breaking the law. rubies should be ashamed and take them back.

What gets me is how anyone could willingly put their name to something like this. This is really a new low. It's not even looking at it in comparison to anything here, but as a costume in general for the price they have it for, it's a ripoff. How anyone over at Lucasfilm could sign off on this and not realize the complete and utter disappointment and even resentment someone will have when they open the box and look at this POS is beyond me. It actually makes me want to write them a letter, that's how shocked and just....speechless I am about the lack of quality control on this one. The whole thing screams of "don't care, pack it and sell it" that it makes me sick....

As fans, isn't there anything we could do? Maybe put together a well written, well thought out letter and fire it off to someone over at Lucasfilm and make them aware of the horror show they are putting their name to and hopefully get it pulled or at least made better, somehow....?

Admittedly, this costume is what drew me to TDH in the first place. I had been wanting to build a Fett costume for the longest time and earlier this year the desire resurfaced. I began researching it and this costume came up as one of the first Google hits. However, after reviewing their photos, I was fairly skeptical as the quality of the build seemed very overpriced considering what was being offered. I thought to check it out in person at some point, but by then I had found TDH and havent considered it again since.

It's great to see these photos and confirm I made the right decision. Thanks!

Thanks trikaz for posting these pics. I hope you are not stuck with this suit. No disrespect intended, it looks pretty bad. You have probably saved quite a few people the heartache of trying this out for themselves. Again, thanks for posting these pics. Very informative!

Same here I saw the costume on a site and was impressed at the time, so I started digging a bit and came across this site and never wanted to look back.. seeing detailed pictures of that Frankenstein's monster of a suit makes me sick.

Hold on a second..............I just threw up in my mouth.........

Unfortunately I am stuck with it.

It all started with an invite to a costume party for Halloween, I thought why not be Boba Fett. I was a ST last year (Rubies) and while it's not the best, it is good for a party. So I figured why not give the Supreme Boba a shot. That was the worst mistake I've ever made my whole life. As soon as I opened the box I couldn't believe my eyes. I call the company I bought the ****** thing from and was told "If it's not factory sealed then I can't return it." I wanted to cry... I think my cat could have done a better job.

That started the mad dash to try and bandage a bullet wound. I've found amazing pieces here from some great members, and now the only part of the costume I'm stuck with is the jumpsuit, vest, and shin tools. I'll replace them soon but can't get it done before Halloween.

I still have alot of work left before next Sat. (Gauntlets are held shut with rubber bands, need to weather, and paint jetpack) but I'm more confident tonight than I was 2 weeks ago. And while it's not screen accurate, it will be a hit at the party.

So I have essentially a $700.00 fight suit, flak jacket and some poorly made shin tools.

Lesson learned
Trikaz

i think we should all contact them. everymember. mostly everyone who buys this costume gets it from ebay, and most likely they don't accept returns. there are shops that ordered these costumes and are now stuck with them. as you can see they were for 900 now i see them for 600. i've seen this costume it was put together with hatred. i support a ban on r****s. to rip people off like this is inhuman. on a good note when i saw this costume on e-bay in 0ctober 2 this year, i thought i always liked boba fett i think i'll be him for halloween. after research i found this site. now i'm hooked.

It sucks you had to find out this way. Think of all the people on here you're gonna save with the real photos.

But if you keep to cell phone photos, you're golden haha! If any one at the party gives you **** about the suit just smash their skull in with your rifle. You gotta take out your Rubies-aggression somehow.

I'm so sorry to hear that you're stuck with it. But in all honesty, that outfit you put together doesn't look very bad at all. Maybe if you dirty up and weather the vest and flightsuit you'll feel even better until you can replace them. I want to apologize if anything I said made you feel worse, I had no idea you were actually stuck on keeping it. Although now that makes me angrier because you even stated just how much your heart sank when you opened it. I know how you feel, I've had that sinking feeling when plunking down a good chunk of change only to get the complete opposite of wot I thought I woz getting as I'm sure everyone here has at one point or another, and I'm sure we all will again, but we all have our expensive lessons to learn at some point in our lives. The important thing is, you're making the absolute best of it, it looks great for wot you need it for right now, and, well, now you know....and knowing is half the battle.

Good luck!

Oh, my!

I never had any ideas on buying one of these, as I've got a great suit almost finished, but my curiousity was killing me.

I really wanted to see how the finished product would look. Oftentimes the final version is better than the prototype. In this case, the real deal just sucks donkey dongs.

I wonder which parts they beleive were cast off the original costume. That jetpack looks really rough.

Sorry you were the one but thanks for posting the pics!

Dang, sorry to hear how the situation evolved, Trikaz.

To be fair, it wouldn't be too terrible a costume for the person looking for that quick, one-stop, wear-it-once BF costume. It's the price that smarts. After your party, you might be able to get back some of your money by Ebay-ing this costume at a discounted price (though the interest in it might be slow until Halloween next year).

It looks like you've found some lemonade in the lemons - good on ya for that.

At first I was worried that they might think that it's a R****s version, but now that I've seen these untouched pics, I'm not worried at all anymore.

Actually, I'd still be worried. What if someone seeing it from afar but doesn't ask assumes it's a commerically available item, goes online and sees the prototype pics and then goes, "Wow, it looks even better in person!" and then orders it! Boy are they in for a surprise.

A lot of people I've been around who are not into this hobby have asked me where do I get my stuff. They assume everything comes already together, and they don't realize you pick up different pieces from different people or purchase raw kits that have to be trimmed, primered, painted, weathered, and sealed, or sewn, or modified, sized, tweaked or adjusted, upgraded or redone in some way shape or form.

I guess they figure there is an online equivalent to Walmart that caters to us Star Wars people. Ah, if it were only that easy!

Yeah, I agree! You've got a valid point there. To the untrained eye, there is no difference between the two. But to those that were interested in the suit that night, I told them that everything was fan made and that the parts came as a kit that has to be assembled and painted. So, hopefully if they were serious about joining or getting an authentic Fett suit, they would remember what I said.

Here is a pic from that night. Me and my kids at their school's Fall Festival event.

you know if you piece it out you may be able to make some of your money back im sure someone would buy that helmet all they have to do is repaint it, and i know i would buy those tools.

Trikaz, Can you post a well lit pic of you wearing the supreme costume with just the supreme pieces because I may, gulp, buy it. I'm needing a BF costume for a convention and some videos, and I may go with that.

Honestly don'y buy it you could buy seperate good quality pieces for cheaper then buying that costume!

frightening...

I'm glad I found this board. I've decided on trying to do a boba fett costume and was seriously considering buying it

WHAT THE HE...!!!!!!




What have they done !!!!!



***.....

What do you guys think about the origins of the helmet. I know its not a MR cast, do yo think its a fan sculpt? Do you think they wll ever release it on its own like they did with the vader, as it could be good to repaint?

I agree on the paint job,it looks..like a blind 4 year old was in charge of it...
but the sculpt seems better than the usual helmet they sell,the gauntlets...who ever was in charge for research for sculpting etc. should be fired ...
First I tought it may be good to "slaughter" get some parts,repint for a custom mando,
but thats a waist of money ..specialy for "that" "supreme edition" "quality"...

holy ****:-D

Do you think it will get you into the 501st?

All kidding aside, you would have thought rubies would have just recasted something from here. I mean, they already broke the law just making that thing.

Excuse me but just to get this right ,the pics you added,of your Boba,wich look worlds better than the rubies,are you saying that you took whatever was good and turned that rubies nightmare into the awesome outfit you put in 2 pics in ?
If yes,your a god,if not,awesome costume you got and...burn the rubies thingy...

I know this thread is dead, but I just looked at this costume again and noticed this in the close up zoomed in shots:


Look at that guy's face smashed into that helmet!
I haven't laughed so hard in a long time!

yeh I think thats an MR helmet and some people have larger noses than others bud...I know My nose isnt the smallest in the world

It looks like SFP has found some competition in the World's Worst Boba Fett Costume category

Sorry you got stuck with this bro, but glad you got your Fett sorted out.

To be honest, the only thing i see really wrong with this suit is the price. To any average person this suit would be beyond any Fett costume they have probably seen. When i was a kid my Vader costume was a vinyl suit with a horrible drawing of vader on the front. Not even a resemblance of any vader part. But iloved it, and most people arent like we are, so we shouldnt tear it apart. For an out of the box costume that someone will wear once for halloween i think its fine...the problem is the price. This should be a maybe 200 dollar suit. thats my issue with this suit.

I wore the same costume when I was in Kindergarten!... if I had that same one in mint condition inside the box maybe it would be worth more than the Rubie's Fett!

The paint job is priceless/ The quality and workmanship that went into this piece....Im at a loss for words
