Hello all!
I've been contemplating a ROTJ Fett or even a custom one for a few years and have visited TDH many times during that span. After not having a 'good' costume for numerous events, I'm ready to start building one. The ones you can buy (Rubies) seem like a real joke, and there doesn't seem to be anyone that sells a decent Fett costume. I'm hoping you guys can point me in the right direction. There's a ton of information on this site, and it's been tough to get a handle on what I need to do.
Here's my situation... I'm currently working full time and volunteering for 2 NPO's. I don't have a ton of time, so if there's some reasonable parts to buy that would be great. I don't care too much about the cost as long as it's good quality; I'd like to have it last a while. I'm also ok letting someone build a full costume for me even though that will be a lot of money, but I'm not sure if anyone does that on this site.
Helmet and jetpack have me worried the most by far.
I've seen some real nice helmets like this one: http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f31/gmh-definitive-boba-fett-helmet-original-sales-thread-38956/.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Chris
