I traded my complete Jango Fett for this:

Jango 5204

Active Hunter
I started Jango back in 2007. Finished it a couple years ago, haven't been wearing it much. I wanted something new, something that's rare and not seen a lot at conventions. I made a straight across trade with the maker of these suits in the UK. I did keep the MR's. Of course it didn't look like this when I got it. I changed all the pleather parts for leather. I made the belt, vest, leg straps, undershirt, and made several tweaks for accuracy. Basically remade the whole suit/ mounting system with the exception of the green parts and the hairy diaper, which got weathered. Axe is made of Styrene and a wood handle. As far as I've seen, there are only about 5 of these suits trooping in the 501st. I think the guy in the UK got the better deal.
I think this was the last time I wore it.

All the pleather in it's glory. This is how it arrived.

I guess I expected the responses considering this a Fett forum. But honestly, I wore it for a few years, got my use out of it, tried to sell it as a complete suit, got no bites, so I traded it. It's perfect for CVI.
 
Yeah, I thought it would be hot. Much room in the head? I hate the close masks, but would love a pig. Oink Oink!!!

One other problem, I don't have big feet like you 8D
 
haha I could have guesd that awenser xD

does it have any fan ? or are you planning to one (or two ;) ?

I made a manifold type thing out of plastic with a blower on each side. It sits behind the mouth and draws in fresh air instead of circulating the used stuff. I haven't installed it yet. I think the main thing is the body isn't covered in Latex. I don't think I'll overheat, just sweat like crazy.
 
Very cool! I love the GG. Would never want to wear one because they look unbelievably hot, but that is a really nice suit. Hate to see the Jango go, but it looks like you traded one very cool suit for another!
 
Thanks. I might also look into a cooling vest. The main body is all fabric and leather so I should be alright. I'm used to trooping in Vader, and I wear dark blue, ballistic vest, and knee high black leather boots in 100+ degree heat on a motorcycle all day, so I do alright.
