And I got my FPH2 from wasteland. I am very excited about this helmet I think it looks amazing. If you are on the fence about getting one of these from him I advise to pull the trigger!

Good luck. Looks great so far. Love the colors on those gauntlets. After I started diving deeper into it I kinda wished I went ESB but had it all ordered already.

Boots look great. Something else I did to mine was take some sandpaper to the toe and piping to scuff them up.

Your cape is completely wrong-it appears to be a fleece blanket??? It should be of canvas material.

This is man of wars limited edition wool cape. He believes this is similar to what they used in the movie. I dont know what they used in the movie for sure but preferably I like how this cape looks and hangs.

If you like the look and feel there is nothing wrong with having it and wearing it around. However if you plan to join the 501 will need to be swapped.

The CRL should be updated to reflect that wool can and should be acceptable. Taking a look at the actual reference pictures should that the cape is more wool than it is "canvas/linen" material.

Talking to a few new 501st members regarding their Fetts it seems that approval hinges more on an idealized Fett than what we actually saw on screen. I do believe that the CRL for ESB Fett is going to be updated soon.

If this is something we want to discuss, PM Major. He is the BHG CO and I am the XO, so we can get the ball rolling on it.
