Problem is, the people who get to do the research, development, and design for licensed replica companies are never the most qualified people for the job.
All the potential is there, but because they have the wrong people in those positions, the product never will turn out as well as it COULD.
Actually Gino I would beg to differ...
I think for this particular project, at least the Fett stuff, I know for a fact that they will have some pretty knowledgible people on board...
...which is a good thing....
I myself am VERY excited about this. Some of the questions we had in terms of the suit will more than likely be answered throughout this process...which again, is a good thing.
And I don't want to sound like I'm completely on board, but according to the Q&A and others "in the know", friends of TDH...they are taking the right appoarch, and asking ALL the right questions...and to me, that's a great start.
They know that people like us have allot of information to help. I don't think they will be trying to "reinvent the wheel" when it comes to this stuff....again I can only speak for the Fett community on this.
All that being said, this is a retail costume that will be released, and unltimately it will be an idealized version.... My own fett so far, is over 6000$, I don't think they are gonna put something like that out...why would they?..only us TDH'ers would end up buying it.
So I think people will see a "MR" version of the Fett suit... if that makes sense (referring to the MR helmet)...Parts and sizing will be correct, but depth, color, and detail is what will make the difference.
