. . . is it possible that the EYES helmet was turned in to the ESB. . .

The EYES helmet was turned into the EARS helmet. After that, not sure what the progression might have been, if any.

Fett 4 Real is easy to confuse, especially when calling something a "Sandy" helmet.

By the time of this photo, the helmet was already the "ears" version. I have two other photos of this suit combination and both are tied to a Palitoy promotional event. you later see pieces of this suit with the Return of the Jedi hero helmet at an event with Vader

BTW, GREAT photo! Any chance of getting a better scan of the original?

funny you should mention what you noticed first, the thing that jumped out at me very first was the girth belt being undone on the bottom.

Think I'm going to do a little detective work. There's a local politician who used to own a couple cinemas on the island. He's a huge movie lover and I think he worked in the only cinema that was on the island at that time. You would think they were involved in this promotional Fett somehow. I might send him a letter and see if I can get some background info on this.

Nah mate, nothing yet. Seems Mr. Lewis is too busy to reply atm.
Was considering putting an ad/letter in the local paper. Dunno.

I want to resurrect this thread because this image with the Pre-Pro #1 Version 2 (or ears) helmet and the unknown Sandy armor is a one of a kind setup, but mainly because of the never seen before third Sandy armor. Is there any chance for a better scan of that image?

Well I don't own the original. The photo came from a member on the UKG forums who had got it from a friend of his who isn't on the UKG forums as far as I know. Might be a toughy.

Yeah, it's kind of hard when something is about "I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate. - Dark Helmet, Spaceballs". But it would be awesome to have a better scan for the TDH Gallery.

I love this..
it just shows Fett can be anything with different parts we all know added or missing, he is still Fett.
