New promotional Pre-pro Fett pic from 1981

Holy ****... new user here, but ****. I feel like history is being made. Discoveries of new costumes using the Ears helmet? Pretty awesome. Prepro 1 has always been my favorite. But ****, this is cool. A green bracer paired with a pre pro yellow, the lack of wookiee braids. It's fascinating. :)

Looks like you used a lot of explicit language. I feel like I'm reading Jerry springer show dialogue :p
 
Wow, just realized, the gloves don't have the WW2 patches... they're definitely a different pair. Also, anybody think that pre pro bracer doesn't really look yellow enough? It's more orange than anything. Maybe not pre pro? I've only read lots about the pre pros, and so I don't know if that gauntlet could be part of a set I never saw, or perhaps a part of one of the Sandys. Also, I've just got done looking at all the chests from the galleries, it doesn't match any of them, so I guess it's a repaint probably. And sorry for all the swearing before, I was just so excited, haha.

Those gloves might be the Pre-Pro #3 ones (or the ESB), while the left gauntlet is deffinitely one of the promo ones: the Sandy style suits had a left gauntlet with a different shape:

And the armor isn't a repainted one, it's just the second ESB Promo armor, a never before seen setup for us.

haha, yeah, I guess I should do that. I posted in MiraDarkStar's forum for new people, she's a new 501st Mara Jade. Go give everybody a tdh welcome :) And I'm not super new, I've been on here for months, just... never got to the forums, aha. Just creeped in the galleries for a while. Moved back to the states, and suddenly found I've got lots of time for Boba Fett fanboying. xD

Ah, I never noticed the pre pro #2 gaunt was shaped so differently, but compared to that ESB hero gaunt in profile it's so obvious, don't know how I missed that :p
Also, what do you mean? I would have thought SOMEBODY in the UK would have wanted a pic with Fett, are you seeing you've never seen photos of the 2nd Promo costume, or that you've never seen it with the Ears helmet?

What I want to say is that this image is in two way a good thing: the first one is that this image is a proof that the Pre-Pro #1 helmet wasn't repainted in ESB colors (it was a rumour about this) and the second good thing is about the third Sandy armor (or Sister Armor - this is how I name it) wich was an unseen armor for us, except the Palitoy one:

Thanks for the info, this is pretty conclusively the Pre Pro 1 helmet. And the third Sandy armor, finally found. So exciting. I wonder where it is now. So is this Sandy armor the same armor as the older one you posted it with? I'm just curious, because I can't tell what armor that is. :)
 
Just saw today that the image from the first post was posted on the TDH facebook page. I really like this image because it shows the Pre-Pro #1 helmet with the ESB right gauntlet, the EE-3 blaster and the side gun possibly cast for stunt (or touring) purposes and the 3rd Sandy armor, more exactly the Promo #2 armor. I used the image name (redautumn07/istockphoto_569269-glue-2.jpg) to do a search on Google and I found this:

The image belongs to the same person (rapstertee) who shared with us the image from the first post through Redtogusa. But the amazing thing with this image is that we can now see the 'ears' on the helmet and it also has better quality and colors. And for those who don't think that the right gauntlet WAS part of the ESB suit, then here is the image to prove it:

ESB And Post ESB Right Gauntlet.jpg

If I recall correctly, the Slave I cockpit scene was shot after the Carbon Chamber scene (the gauntlet prove this), this is why I did the image in that order, from 1979 to 1981.
