here's the pic i got of you with my son on thursday at sdcc. not sure which of the guys was in the boba. we went thursday out of costume and suited up on friday.
i think you did an absolutely amazingjob on the build and as great as it looks in pix, it's even better in person. however, if i may offer some constructive critism?
my son in the pic, 9, is very well versed. at 9yrs old, he's better than most true fanboy adults. he knows the difference between esb, rotj, pp's and se boba's as well as kamino and geonosis jango's!
when he saw the two of you with your backs to us, he said "dad, can i get a pic with the empire and jedi boba fett's?" when i looked, that was my impression as well. it was only when you turned and i saw the white cheeks and jag eyes that i thought "oh, that's fenn shysa not esb boba." then it occurred to me that danakin was going to be at sdcc in his fenn and that must be you.
all that explained, i know that you wanted a more real looking shysa than was portrayed in the comics. i totally respect and appreciate that. however, i just feel like something about your kit needs to "pop" it apart from boba a little more. at first glance the only difference is the helmet. obviously, costumers and hard core fans will notice other differences such as the gloves, the sigil etc. but to the lay person you're boba fett.
even back in the marvel 70's disco era comics, fenn and boba had alot of similarities but, boba always (well almost) had the grey flightsuit and fenn had a green flightsuit. i really like that you used the fett muted real life green on the armor and not the ridiculous green from the comics. also, they had different style jetpcks and fenn that i can recall was never seen with an ee-3.
all that said, i'm not saying ditch that beautiful ee-3 and jetpack, unless you want to send them to me for proper disposal?, or to even change the flightsuit (especially if it's serving double duty with a boba set). but, i think that dying the flightsuit and vest to an olive drab would really pop your set off and aprat from boba. if you got the wild hair to change the weapon and pack that would really do it to. but, if only 1 change were made, i'd say the flightsuit color change would be it.
again, none of that was meant to diss your set. i think it's great! just a suggestion to really make it stand out on it's own!
again, awesome job and thanks for posing with my boy. that was his first pic with or as a character of the con and it made his day and set the tone for his weekend!
