WOW... Just WOW..

So much detail.. can't focus...

So first thing I found interesting (since it's what I'm currently focused on anyway…) . Check out the buttons on the Left Gaunt calc pad. Look like I've got a little update. I thought there was only ONE column of red buttons... Clearly, there are 2 red, 2 blue, 1 silver.

  • Yup.. and the Rub-on transfers on the Rocketpack white detail...upside down E's and H. (y)..
  • Paint sheme is probably a silver base and wet sanded and weathered.
  • and there's that little nob next to the stablizer too...it shows up again(y)

Anther piece I've never seen before (or perhaps better word - noticed)

What's the black cord on the back coming from under the JP over the back of the girth?
 
SWEET!! Looks like an additional detail on the WHITE JetPack decal as well that I didn't notice.

i'll have to update my decal as well. Thanks Art, thanks Spidey.
 
i think it means the "ROCKETPACK" is functional ;)....thoughts?

Another thought as I continue to drool...

Check out the knobs on the JP thrusters. If I didn't know better, I would say they are metal....multiple pieces of metal... Almost like a axel, wheel and hub…

Perhaps there is some function to it. Perhaps for positioning on camera?

Perhaps some remote onscreen movements...


Now I'm just getting crazy :wacko
 
*Drool drool drool*

These pictures are great!
but I think we will never know ALL of Boba's mysteries hehe, the whole costume is just as mysterious as Boba himself.

The piece are definitely metal. You can see it better on other packs. However, they appear to be one piece, more like a pulley wheel.

"Functional" can mean a lot of things. I think all the packs are "functional" to a degree. Sadly, I think 90% of their functionality was to power other parts of the suit that ended up not being used, like the gauntlets. As far as how functional the jet packs were themselves? We know the one shot smoke; we also know that several of the others didn't (solid thrusters). We know that one had the expanding grappling hook mechanism in the rocket tip; we also know that most of the rest didn't (solid resin rocket tip). Beyond that and the lighting beacon... I seriously doubt they had a lot of functionality. I definitely don't think they had anything like antimatronic thrusters.
