Public Apology to FettPride(Chris)

Grow Up....seriously

Your whole group is just one big class act bud. And I mean that...

with all the sarcasm I can muster...I mean that..

i could say the same of you and the company you keep. i speak for myself and what i see on here. anyone that speaks out against,critiques or questions FP is automatically a villian and is blackballed on here. that is not an opinion but fact.


lol wut?

Chris' threads should be locked as soon as he posts them, or at least all posts in his threads should be moderated. It's pretty lame that every time he offers something to the community, someone has to freak out and spoil it for everyone else.


why ? are we not entitled to opinions on here? i guess not.

here is an opinion for you, evertime any other builder on here post some new product, they go "hey, here is something i made and it is XXX amount of dollars for one."

nice and simple to the point.

with your good buddy fp. we get a six paragragh diatribe about how he at a personal cost to him is going to offer the good folks at TDH something he did not make but altered. that it is the most accurate fett prop ever made (gauntlet rockets anyone?) and you should be greatful that poor old FP has brought this to you. then his pimps come out of the woodwork to tell you how accurate it is and so forth. all the while never posting WIP pics.( there were none on this build for a reason) but if you come out with some new fett stuff, you damned better well have some wip pics or suffer the wrath. he did this with the new helmet.

SF leaked a pic to everybody, got everyone so excited( to build hype) then fp acted very reluctant to post anymore pics.( the suspense builds) then he finally comes out with a barely altered prepro fett helmet.
and folks line up for it. fp stands to make over 10k on this. not bad for a christmas gift to TDH.

i can say one thing about FP. he should go in to marketing. jesus he would be a rock star in that field.\

but i am here to ask you guys to leave zero alone.

anyways, i am done. you can start bashing me anyways.
 
mrbungle I don´t get it. FP offers some goods for us, spending much time to get it accurate and clean. People who like his stuff can buy it others that don´t like it can just walk on to other prop builders. Always remember: he does it for us members!!! If you look for the price of one helmet and think of the material costs, then tell me what the win is?

It´s that simple.

Why the heck all this trouble?

zero doesn´t like the way chris went with the FP premium, so why in hell did he post anything? Critics should always be constructive.

There are times someone should just shut up instead of talking ****.

As I said before, I can´t get it why this must be?

Just let others buy what they want and if you don´t like it let it be. If you see a new car that has similarities to other cars, do you call the manufacturer to tell him he is dumb? no ... so why here?

It´s ok to post opinions but not that destructive way. If that´s the only way one can talk, than better keep it to yourselves.

Just my 2cent.
 
I Guess I don't see the sense in all this. You don't want to muddy the waters on the helmet topic but its OK to do here. The rational behind all the comments is senseless. At least in that topic they were about a Helmet. People will believe what they want. I know the truth as it applies to me. Let it go. You have all stated your opinions on my eternal damnation in the eyes of The Dented Helmet. You may all put your pitch forks down now and return to your daily lives. I will obviously burn for my crimes.

Have a great day.

I could care less what Zero said, but I will comment on this.

Come on MM, most people on this board can use filler putty and sandpaper. Its not like he did anything worth mentioning to the helmets

Lets be honest here. The guy makes money and thats why he does it, and rightfully so. Isn't that why anyone ever sells anything? It's business.
Whether he makes $1 or $100 a helmet, he is making money. Don't be fooled that he does it just for members out of the goodness of his heart. Unless he or anyone else for that matter, just has cash to blow, he is compensating himself.

If you look for the price of one helmet and think of the material costs, then tell me what the win is?

Well, another person with the same prototype casting has offered them for $50 each. So you tell me...

Anyone can buy anything they like. But since TDH is such a close knit community, wouldn't it be right to have all members know what they are buying?
I'm not doubting FP sells a quality helmet, but lets be honest and just admit that is all he is doing. Lets not act like he found Noah's Ark. He simply got his hands on a protype helmet and recasted it. Now since MR is no more this falls into the DP realm, its ok to recast...for sake of arguement. Nothing gives him the right to call it "his" helmet nor lay claims that nobody can copy "his" helmet. If FP was truly doing all this "for the members" he would sell these helmets as MR recasts (and compensate himself for his time) and tell everyone to go wild. That way, the limited income highschool member could copy his MR recast and offer them up to his buds for next to nothing. I mean really, isn't that the point of TDH, to share the wealth and knowledge of Fett so that everyone can enjoy it?

Very interesting. Who is this person, and where did they post the offer to sell casts for $50? I am just asking because I haven't seen any posts about this here at TDH. Did I miss the post? Or is it on some other site? Just curious. I'd appreciate it if you could kindly point me in the right direction.
 
It wasn't ever offered publicly Lufo, nor was it ever offered for 50 dollars...

Its on another site.
 
Lol, I love the contribution to the recasting debate. MR now acceptable to recast.. Yes you can mod it out, but I will agree that no one here can call it their helmet, no matter how much they change it, just like any other prop. Unless you scratched it/collected found parts I don't agree with stamping your name on the mold...especially with the whole no intended profit argument.

I agree with you CB, that is my whole point. FP should call it what it is, an MR recast and nothing more.
 
agree with you CB. that is whole point on this.

then you have the guantlet missile incident that was supposed to be the mother of all boba guantlet missiles only to find out it was a jango missile.

but that is another topic entirely.
 
Are you satisfied now?

CombatBaby didn´t even recognize that FP has altered the helmet ...

Because he hasn't, all that has happened is he painted it and added his logo. There are no WIP to state otherwise and it doesn't really matter if he did change it. he didn't use it as a base to resculpt anything to warrant it being his and his alone. When someone recast's this helmet, we will see the stink.

Realistically prop-educated people can see what is going on, there shouldn't be a need to hype anything. If someone wants a MR Recast they can get it. He is not making anything available to anyone that hasn't been offered before. But spend you money how you want. I personally will buy cake. You can buy pie if you want.
 
Not Russ, bud.

The missile they're talking about is the one 'Texas Fett Productions' (with FP in the team) made a few months ago.
 
The more is written the more you guys seem to think your statements are of anyones interest ... that´s why I edited my post and stop writing on this thread now.

I just wonder why you dudes always see the bad in everything ... it´s a bad behavior.

I can certainly understand this take from a particular POV, but Sgt Fang and Marrow Sun did exactly that with the Mystery helmet and no one batted and eye and members lined up to buy and buy and buy and if Fang or Sun had been recast, I'll bet the community would have been up in arms. Because of things like this, the attack on FP is coming off more as people who simply have issues with FP personally and not with his helmet. I do find it incredibly telling that the Self-Appointed Recasting Police are now threatening to recast the MR prototype in an effort to undermine what they are condemning FP for doing... Just shows the duplicity and character of certain individuals and the character of those who hover about them and speak for them... It also shows what they are truly about which has nothing to do with protecting the greater community at all, but pushing their own hypocritical agendas.

It is sad to see that, as usual, this is actually an issue of personalities and not an issue of content as some would try to make it appear.
