My personal opinion is that the Fang Mystery Helmet is more a starter bucket than a top of the line piece. They tend to require a lot more cleanup / finish work.
BobaMaker helmets are quite nice too.

I own both an Asok Boba Fett in CC and a Sgt Fang. Hands down the Asok is far superior. The Fang requires a LOT more work and cleanup and the price is not that significantly different.
I whole heartedly recommend Asok. Fang on the left Asok/FP on the right. The Asok has had about 15 minutes put into at this point.

So as this is going to be my first venture into serious building which would be the best to go into?

They both look good, I like the paint on the Fang, good job Mullreel
And does having the earpieces already on the Coldcast hinder the helmet in any way as opposed to the ones you have to attach?

Thanks for the compliment. That is my generic mandalorian protector paint up.
I don't mind the ears being permanant. Once it is all together it is tough to tell anyways. If I was going for my be all end all helmet I would probably want the ears seperate. But I am such a helmet junkie that I will probably never get that be all end all helmet. lol

the fangs ears are not good , and the helmet is missing ear platforms , It was the best thing around 6 years ago but now there are quite a few better ,
And having the ear pieces on the Asok FP MR isnt a bad thing it ensures they will look flush to the helmet , unless you are attaching metal ears having them cast in to the helmet is a bonus , though it isnt "screen acurate"

I'm aware that the Fang and the GMH both can be traced back to an original, but does the FP have any lineage or is it just fan sculpted?

lol How many do you have?

Which FP helmet? The MR prototype is a digital scan...which is a scan of the PP3 helmet, the FP helmet is a fan sculpt i believe and those arent produced any more

The FP "Cold cast" that Asok is selling was the one I was referring to
Fett 4 Real
Sr Hunter
scan of the PP3 corrected basically to make it mass producible I believe would be the best way to put it

Well I started into this hobby a little over a year ago and I have 2 Asok Jangos, 1 Asok Boba, 1 Sgt Fang, 1 M-DSB Assassin, 1 ONE END (Kids Helmet), and 3 clone helmets.
2 of the clone helmets are cheaper and one is really nice. I haven't worked on the really nice clone helmet or the Asok Boba yet. They will get some attention when I finish work on my Jango.

Do you ever plan on owning a GMH?

Collecting does get addictive. I've currently got an MR cast Boba, MR cast reworked to Jango, Boba Holiday special, Pre Vizsla from The Clone Wars, a Clone Wars Mando grunt on the way, a GMH on the way, and... 7? 8? clone helmets.

Boba Holiday Special, wouldn't mind seeing that
