    Fett Fake on cosplay.com with TDH Members' Pics

    I got a message from this individual on cosplay.com, who's member name is "Boba Fett". His public profile can be viewed here:

    http://www.cosplay.com/member/73846/

    I noticed that in the gallery of pics of "his" Fett costume, not only does he present pics of many different variations of Fett, but has pics of known TDH members. I tried to pm him through the site but his pms are inactive, go figure.

    Not gonna make a federal case out of this but I thought I'd point it out. I know how much blood, sweat, tears, time and money goes into a Fett costume and didn't appreciate this kid trying to pass off TDH members' costumes as his own. Just thought I'd share. Don't ever say Jodo didn't do anything nice for Fett.

    I know one of the guys that takes pictures and helps run this site! "EuroBeat King" You might want to contact him and let him know what's going on.

    Hope the info helps!

    I think the best pic on his profile is the one of the Boba without the bucket and it's somebody else....... classic

    Re: Fett Fake on cosplay.com with TDH Members' Pics

    I’m just glancing at some of these photos and have already picked out three of our own, it’s almost funny how blatantly inconsistent “his” Fett photos are, one minute he’s ESB then reverts into an ROTJ then morphs into a SE, just pick one and stick with it!

    Photo plagiarism is nothing new to this crowd and the boys here have learned to roll with it and aren’t stressing over dweebs like this guy.

    Calling him out on one in particular, and if hotlinking is disallowed, then please remove the link, mods:
    http://www.cosplay.com/photo/1480795/

    He's using a photo of the life-size Don Post statue, claiming it is him. I couldn't find the exact shot online, though I know that that IS a publicity shot for the sale of the replicas. What a jerk.

    Is this a toy advertisement?! It looks like an action figure for pete's sake!

    http://www.cosplay.com/member/93425/

    Apparently this is his other account, as his first one got locked or something... http://www.cosplay.com/photo/1446760/

    He blames his account being locked on Eurobeat King. Who is one of the owner/operators.

    I reported his costume to Cosplay.Com and made accurate reasons why this guy is a thief and a liar; those of you who have your costume up as his on there, please do the same. This is not the type of person who should be getting credit for things he didn't do. This is the type of person who gives Cosplay.Com a bad name.

    You gotta love the TK409 background If someone is going through this much trouble to act like this is his costume, he should use one picture only. And not have a picture with his helmet off

    I don't want this to turn into something it shouldn't, but here is a picture of him dressed as Solid Snake from MGS. He is standing next to someone else dressed as Boba Fett.

    Just so you guys know, he spent over $200 on "his" Boba Fett.

    I can't believe that, what an idiot. I know EXACTLY who's in a bunch of those shots. That's Darryl(TK-2177), from Garrison Carida. Darryl's suit is PERFECT and i'm actually insulted for him that someone's taking credit for HIS suit!! I'll let him know.

    Wow. Thanks for pointing this out guys. I have posted comments on the images of my suit to clarify. I really don't mind if someone uses photos of my suit, but to say it is THEM and that THEY built??!! Wow!
    Actually, I had to chuckle at the "$200.00" line!

    Re: Fett Fake on cosplay.com with TDH Members' Pics

    I reported it as well, but the best thing to do, for any of you who are members at cosplay.com, would be to start a thread in the Site Headquarters section. That will draw attention to it faster - also send a PM to "Admin" who owns the site.
    They take care of these things pretty fast - there's been plenty of instances of people stealing pictures of Japanese cosplayers and claiming to be them - it never works!

    I love how his costume changes every shot. Different backpack, guants, color on the suit, the helmet.

    He has a "welded aluminum blaster and jet pack" Those would be pretty darn heavy and this has got to be the RICHEST 17yo I know! Those Bobas are pricey!

    Re: Fett Fake on cosplay.com with TDH Members' Pics

    Look at what I've started! I reported him right after I made the initial post as well. What a loser.

    I also love how he has pics of a Fett that was supposedly taken at Anime Boston. I was there (unfortunately) and not only was there no Fett there but the background of the pic resembles no part of the AB venue.

    Re: Fett Fake on cosplay.com with TDH Members' Pics

    I think the reason his costume changes so much from phot to phot is that he probably doesn't realise that each one is different. If he has never built on then he probably doesn't know the difference between ESB and ROTJ. This guy is such a joke, he couldn't even research his subject before making up such a lie. If you are going to lie then at least be good at it !!!!!

    Re: Fett Fake on cosplay.com with TDH Members' Pics

    Sitting in class right now, but guess what? The image he had of the Don Post statue that I called him out on -- he deleted it. Either that, or the mods did. Looks like he's getting the point that thieving is not something he should be doing. However, all the other images are still alive...

    EDIT::: And for being a 17 year old, from Missoula, Montana, how'd he make it all the way to Boston?! lol... geez.

    EDIT 2::: http://www.cosplay.com/photo/1480815/ Here he says there was a Star Wars convention going on a few blocks from Anime Boston... can anyone check and see if there's NO validity to that? I'm guessing it's not true, but still... if we're putting the vise on this guy, might as well clinch it.

    But srsly, that's really lame that he is trying to take credit for outfits that aren't his. And I also laughed at his "$200; sometimes quality isn't cheap" comment. All I've bought for my costume so far is caboots, a visor, a RFstalk, and a helmet, and I'm at $330. Don't even want to think about how much it will cost me for full BM armor. So to say he paid $200 for that ENTIRE thing is an outright lie.

    Not like he's taking credit for any of my stuff, it still irks me and I feel for the other members here who he is ripping off.

    If blatantly lying like that helps him sleep at night, whatever then. But it's still wrong! This guy = sith spit.

    Took the liberty. Hope we see some proactive modding.

    EDIT::: Also did some googling, and as far as a "Star Wars con" in Boston around the time of Anime Boston this year, the only thing close was the Boston Comic Con on March 16th, 2008. No Star Wars con on the 21-23 of March.

    Ok... Now I'm TICKED!! This clown just sent me this pm:

    "Hey "pal", if you noticed, i have the initials (PH) next to almost all pix in this file. it stands for photoshop, which means that i have found peoples pix and fix them, giving them better quality. THE POINT TO THIS FOLDER IS SO THAT PEOPLE FIND THERE PIX HERE, TAKE THEM BACK,ALL FIXED UP, AND PUT THEM IN THEIR OWN PROFILE GALLERY. ONCE THE HAVE DONE SO, THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO CONTACT ME AND LEMME KNOW THAT THEY HAVE DONE SO, THAT WAY I CAN REMOVE THEM FROM THE SIGHT AND HENCE ENDING THE DUPLICATE DILLEMMA. when i say its ME i mean that "I" and i alone fixed this picture and made it look better than the original foto. so b4 u go spaming and chiming in on My skill as a photographer AND cosplayer, think b4 u speak or blog. Tell Your Frenz."

    That, and he is going through and removing all comments which outed him as a liar.

    ... and now he sends me this one:

    Is that a threat?

    He is a liar. Period. He did not "photoshop" any of the images. He stole them, as they were, from here in the TDH image gallery. They are exactly the way I posted them over a year ago. Geesh!

    I have to laugh at the line of the $200 Fett costume! I need to find out where I can get me one of those! I spent WAY too much for mine!

    Sheesh. What a baffoon! I'm sorry this guy's acting like such a jerk. Ok, that's it, bounty on his head!

    This is sad.

    I dont understand why people try to take credit for other people's work - especially on the internet where its very easy for the original owner/creator to find it and call shenanigans.

    Hopefully he will take them down.

    Oh yeah, B freakin' S! He was intending to pass those photos off as him in the costumes the whole time. With captions on the photos like "this is ME at an anime convention in Boston" (or something like that) you could easily tell that's what he was trying to do. In no way did he make it clear that he was "fixing the pix and giving them better quality".
    I think he's realized that he was caught in a lie, and that's why some of the pictures have been taken down.

    It is funny, if you go into his profile...it lists how many costumes and pics he had, you go into them, they are all gone. No pics, no nothing.

    Yeah man, owned. Either he's now scared of being exposed as a fraud and is trying to get rid of unwanted attention, or the mods over there had some due diligence and took affirmative action.

    I would say it's the latter more than the former. I doubt this individual has the mental facilities to remove images that aren't his.

    I hope this serves as a wake up call to him, but somehow, I doubt it!

    Re: Fett Fake on cosplay.com with TDH Members' Pics

    Well, I dunno if you all PM'd the Admin already, or what, or if they are taking action against the user, but I can't access the gallery of this guy anymore. Either that, or it's gone. Here's the PM I just sent to Admin on Cosplay.Com:

    Hello Admin,

    http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f22/fett-fake-cosplay-com-tdh-members-pics-25134/

    This is the thread wherein we are discussing this costume thief, and now he is apparently trying to backpedal and make excuses for what he has done. Some of The Dented Helmet's members have gotten PMs from him on their accounts here.

    http://www.cosplay.com/member/73846/

    This is the user's profile, however it seems you have already gotten notations about which images are offenders or have decided to scrap his account altogether. I cannot seem to view any images of his own. If this is administrator action against said user, then thank you.

    It should also be of note that the user has created another account, at:

    http://www.cosplay.com/member/93425/

    I thank you for your prompt action, and I know the members of our community are appreciative as well.

    -Xero
    Sorry for being so late about it; I was awake from 2:30PM Tuesday to noon today, and so I came home from classes and passed out. I would never make a good security guard, lol...

    Is this the end of this saga?

    There is deception in this world. Just like covering a scent.
    Very disturbing indeed.

    Re: Fett Fake on cosplay.com with TDH Members' Pics

    I may have this issue solved guys. I posted a complaint against him at this thread:
    http://www.cosplay.com/showthread.php?t=144774
    As you can see, the Admin has requested links to the pictures that he has stolen. We need to identify the images, and get links to them. Once I have the proof that we need, I'll send the Admin a PM, and he won't be a problem anymore.

    Re: Fett Fake on cosplay.com with TDH Members' Pics

    We all thinnk nothing of posting pics of ourselves and our costumes. It's part of the deal. We go to cons, have pics taken, and view them on line. Hell, there are pics of me on the D*con from the past few years.

    You really think nothing of it, untill it shows up in an unexpected place or context. It's always a bit odd when you find your pics posted on someone elses site. You wonder what the interest is, why they are using your pictures. It's just a tad on the wierd side when someone would try to claim the pictures to be of them.

    I know this sucks, and this guy is a moron for stealing pics and trying to claim them as his costume. As for his excuse... gimme a break.

    I'm wondering if this guy is even as old as he says he is. I mean, honestly. Then again, maybe I overestimate the maturity of my generation.

    Re: Fett Fake on cosplay.com with TDH Members' Pics

    It's over guys. Just got a PM from Cosplay.Com Admin:

    Hi,

    Thanks for the report. Both accounts have been banned, as well as the IP associated with it. If any other images pop up under a similar situation please PM me and we'll look into it.

    We rely on user reports for infringement on a photo-by-photo basis, but in cases where an entire account or accounts infringes it's usually easiest to send the evidence to me personally.
    Forward Message
    Scratch one up for us? I also have his myspace account, so if anyone wants it... or do you think we should recommend he come visit us so he can ACTUALLY build his Fett? lol

    99centtaco...if he actually wrote that, then i'm going to laugh myself into a coma over here. if he thinks that dismisses any of our accusations, then he's wrong. i love how he's trying to get defensive and act insulted that we dare "spam" him. thank you for telling your "frenz." now i don't have to live in fear of his threat for the rest of my life.

    thank god he's banned. good riddance.

    Re: Fett Fake on cosplay.com with TDH Members' Pics

    LOL. It looks like he made it out of printer paper. So what, he had this LAME costume that he either made or bought, but he wanted it to be awesome, so he stole TDH pictures and tried to pass them off as his? What a deluded reality he lives in. I wonder if he's the kind of guy that lies so much, even to himself, that he believes his own lies.

    Yeah, that and it's also short for Maxwell too. But regardless of his name, he's still a phony. A big fat PHONY!

    yep

    I don't get why some people on this board freak on some of this stuff.

    I've had funny stormtrooper pictures (of me in costume) and seen them being distributed over the internet (and claims that "yeah this is me")

    and yeah it's like... dude you wish. but they know they're a liar so what's the deal. Yeah we work hard to make costumes and it's dumb someone will repost our pictures claiming it to be their own, but it really really doesn't matter.

    Because you have your suit, and when you wear it in person people know YOU'RE the real deal.

    To me, it's equivalent to cheating and using hacks while playing a game online. So there is a noob, who sucks at whatever game he's playing and he knows that he is bad at it. He cheats, downloads hacks, exploits glitches, etc. just to win and play better. He wins more, and makes him feel better about himself, but deep down he KNOWS that he really, really lacks enough skill to do good on his own without cheating. Yet, when he is called out on it, he takes offense and lies about it because he wants people to think he is good, when in fact he is not.

    I play on XBox Live often and encounter that stuff allllllll the time, and it just ruins the experience and frustrates me. That's how I look at it, anyway.

    I get what you're saying, when people KNOW that the work isn't that individuals; that you can laugh it off knowing other people know that the individual is a clown. What got me cheesed, was that people WERE believing it was him. People were commenting, "hey great fett!!" and such, truly impressed with "his" work. Granted, I don't have my own Fett or mandalor yet (college kid, I'm broke) but I am researching everything I need to do to make one in the summer. I also respect everyone here in the community and what they have all done; seeing someone take claim for the hard work involved in making a suit, or in making accurate props (I know some ammo belts were claimed on his pics), really pissed me off.

    Also, to the people stating that the other costume is really his $200 one... He is supposedly the Solid Snake in those pics, not the Fett... the Fett is supposedly someone who goes to his school.

    But he's banned from Cosplay.Com now... so everything's done with. Heck, if you want to get down to the skinny of it, and look at it from another angle, this has nothing to do with TDH... it has everything to do with Cosplay.Com. They are supposed to be a respectable, American-based website for displaying individual's costumes and hard work. People like our little Fake Fett do things like this which are against the ToS at the site, and take the sting out of REAL costume makers, and also shave away some of the site's credibility.

    Guess no matter which way it's sliced, I believe the community, including myself, reacted appropriately, and this kid's had his lesson handed to him. Hopefully he learns from it. Again, I would be surprised, though somewhat entertained, if the kid showed up here, wanting to apologize and truly learn what it takes to make a suit.

    It is quite possible he has seen this thread. IF he has, there is no telling his reaction. If he aims to join up here...it may be a little iffy for him to be welcome here with what he has done, trying to take into as his own work.

    The kid obviously needed the lesson that you don't take credit for other peoples work. Even though none of the pics were of my suit, I appreciate Xero taking the time to do the right thing.
