I traded my complete Jango Fett for this:

**Jango 5204** · 10-19-2011, 08:36 PM

I started Jango back in 2007. Finished it a couple years ago, haven't been wearing it much. I wanted something new, something that's rare and not seen a lot at conventions. I made a straight across trade with the maker of these suits in the UK. I did keep the MR's. Of course it didn't look like this when I got it. I changed all the pleather parts for leather. I made the belt, vest, leg straps, undershirt, and made several tweaks for accuracy. Basically remade the whole suit/ mounting system with the exception of the green parts and the hairy diaper, which got weathered. Axe is made of Styrene and a wood handle. As far as I've seen, there are only about 5 of these suits trooping in the 501st. I think the guy in the UK got the better deal.
I think this was the last time I wore it.

All the pleather in it's glory. This is how it arrived.

And now, 3 months later:

i lol'd so hard im sorry why would you trade a sick Jango for bacon bits....ugh I feel for you bud.

**clonecollector** · 10-20-2011, 04:45 AM

It is a very cool mother-in-law...

...I mean Gammorean Guard!

**Little TK Boy** · 10-20-2011, 05:17 AM

the GG looks great, but ehh... that realy was an amazing Jango! **/

**Jango 5204** · 10-20-2011, 07:51 AM

I guess I expected the responses considering this a Fett forum. But honestly, I wore it for a few years, got my use out of it, tried to sell it as a complete suit, got no bites, so I traded it. It's perfect for CVI.

**Fettered** · 10-20-2011, 08:03 AM

Nice spittle!

And it is pretty unique.

**OBrotherRacing** · 10-20-2011, 09:13 AM

The Jango was great. This GG is great AND unique! You got what you were looking for.....GOOD JOB!!!

**XDentedFettX** · 10-20-2011, 09:51 AM

i think u should have stuck with the jango.....

**Bobby Fett UK** · 10-20-2011, 10:25 AM

These make a huge impact! Love it. What's it like to wear?

SUPER HOT!

**Trout** · 10-20-2011, 11:36 AM

Looks great man... I love the GG.

**Bobby Fett UK** · 10-20-2011, 12:53 PM

Yeah, I thought it would be hot. Much room in the head? I hate the close masks, but would love a pig. Oink Oink!!!

One other problem, I don't have big feet like you 8D

?

**Aeronnz** · 10-20-2011, 04:28 PM

Wow, that looks really good! The Jango was awesome too, but this is also great...

**slave1pilot** · 10-20-2011, 05:40 PM

I insist that you change your screen name to Gammorean Guard 5204 now.

I made a manifold type thing out of plastic with a blower on each side. It sits behind the mouth and draws in fresh air instead of circulating the used stuff. I haven't installed it yet. I think the main thing is the body isn't covered in Latex. I don't think I'll overheat, just sweat like crazy.

I laughed, good point. I'll have it at WonderCon in March. It's in Anaheim this year. I'll be with Chewie (Ben).

**Art Andrews** · 10-24-2011, 07:30 AM

Very cool! I love the GG. Would never want to wear one because they look unbelievably hot, but that is a really nice suit. Hate to see the Jango go, but it looks like you traded one very cool suit for another!

**Jango 5204** · 10-24-2011, 05:43 PM

Thanks. I might also look into a cooling vest. The main body is all fabric and leather so I should be alright. I'm used to trooping in Vader, and I wear dark blue, ballistic vest, and knee high black leather boots in 100+ degree heat on a motorcycle all day, so I do alright.

**stormtrooperguy** · 10-24-2011, 08:38 PM

I think you made a good choice to go with Piggy. Way more unique, and such a cool looking costume.

**Daktari** · 11-12-2011, 12:13 AM

Dude... that is soooooo.... cool!

I think you made the right decision.

The world probably needs more GG and Les J.... but that is just my opinion.

**AbnPanzer** · 11-12-2011, 01:51 AM

The GG is sweet!
Would love to see more of these around... although not enough to do one myself

And in the end.. If you are happy - then it is a great trade.

**StyX** · 11-17-2011, 01:58 PM

"Impressive....Most Impressive." I think you definitely got the better deal on that. I've heard of Gammorean Guards costing in the $3,000-$4,000 for a perfectly accurate or close to original cast. I'm sure there are lots of people that would pay you good money for that costume.

**grungie_42** · 11-17-2011, 04:38 PM

Total respect for that trade, i love the GG!

**jennifersmith** · 11-18-2011, 03:22 AM

**Jango 5204** · 01-24-2012, 08:28 AM

I go invited to troop the Re-Grand Opening of Rancho Obi Wan in Petaluma back in November. I'd never been here before. Lots of cool people there and I got my picture taken with Don Post.
John Schlosser and Joey Kwan are the clones.

**Scott Kaufmann** · 01-24-2012, 09:46 AM

What an experience! That is out right awesome!

**Jango 5204** · 07-01-2012, 08:13 PM

Well the rain in Petaluma jacked up my mask. I made a valiant attempt to fix it and made it worse. Still had a good time at WonderCon this year. I was troopin with Bountyone (Ben) as Chewie. Both of us have PTT activated sounds. It was awesome. I made the leather collar from ROTJ and Ben machined the spikes. People were yelling "Free Chewie!" I started research about latex. I sealed it this time and got some good quality latex base and an airbrush that can shoot latex. My current Iwatta is more for paint. The tip was too small. This is the result. While I wasat it I made a new nappy and made leather sandal straps. See you all at Celebration.

**fettwho** · 07-01-2012, 09:09 PM

That's a really awesome suit, and I have seen a couple of them here. The detail on yours is great, and your paint work looks spot on.

Very very cool.

**Jango 5204** · 07-08-2012, 08:14 AM

Had a photoshoot with Ken ElvisTrooper this past week. I asked him to make it dark like Jabba's Palace.

**SNOWAURE** · 07-08-2012, 09:28 AM

great, good luck!!!!!!!!!!!

**Mullreel** · 07-08-2012, 10:47 AM

Those pics look great. You should be proud of that kit.

**runJEDIrun** · 07-20-2012, 06:18 AM

This looks great!!! Well done! I hear you on Jango. After a while you just want to do something totally different
