Starfortress Productions coveralls

Just an FYI - I bought the soft parts set from SFP. What everyone said is correct. Actually their product is good for the most part - my stuff fit great and looked pretty great too, but I had to wait for about 3 and a half months to get my stuff. I also didn't get any communication back and I emailed them a few times.

On the other hand, I have also ordered stuff from both Skygunbro and Bobamaker and both of them make great products and are excellent guys to work with. They communicated with me regularly and had really reasonable shipping times.

Personally, although the items from all three were good, I would use Skygunbro or Bobamaker first, as I think you'll be really happy with the products and you'll get them a LOT faster!
 
I bought a SFP jumpsuit, size "M" last year (don’t look at my sig – It’s not the current costume). It fits me nearly perfect with the exception that it’s too tight in the neck. I dunno why you guys had to wait over 2 months to get the item. Don’t want to blame you, but I received Anton’s packet shipped to Europe, 3 weeks after having ordered from him …

And yes, the jumpsuit and the vest are the only props I would order from him. The rest is heavily inaccurate.
 
hmm.. I was thinking about their rifle... glad I made my own, saved me about 300 bucks or more.

hhmm... I'd really like a startrek uniform aswell though.. think I'll test my sewing skills a little more rather then ordering one from SFP... anyone knows anythin about that ? please PM me...
 
I just happened to get my soft kit in the mail yesterday from StarFortress Productions. I am very happy with the quality and it did take 2 months, but I was not overly concerned with this lead time. I know there must be a large influx of interest with the new movie and all. The flight suit and the vest are really nice. I would recommend them to anyone. The braids, spats, and cape are all very nice as well. Case in point, I gave them the wrong size for the vest and it is a bit tight (especially having to go over my jet pack harness). I shot them an email and Anton got back with me in 18 hours of my request. He immediately gave me a return code with a 'no questions asked' attitude and will exchange the item. Of course I have to pay the return post, but it was my fault. I am very happy with the service I received and I would recommend the flight suit to anyone. The detail is great. Just my opinion.
Hmmm I bought the whole armor, and their quality on eveything not soft parts sucks, the helmet came with an earcap broke off, the right gauntlet latch broke on day 1, the helmet scheme is mispainted, hoses for the right gaunt were missing, no boot spikes but I DID get the screws to hold them in, rope belt bout 1/2 size it should be, no neck seal instead they sent balaclava (a ski mask with a hole for your face) I would HIGHLY advise that NO ONE buys form them, since I have had to HEAVILLY modify it to even wear, I am now a member of the 501st with this costume, but I have had to spend more money on it to make it work, I DID send them this list, and I was told that the ROTJ had MANY variations and it was painted correctly, it was me that was wrong, They couln't see HOW the earcap and the gauntlet latch could have broken because they packed it well, both of which used to make it "my fault" that it was wrong. They also said that he couldn't see how paying $40+ to ship the stuff back for repair was any different that buying a jango fett from K-Mart!!! How can anyone NOT tell the difference betweeen paying $40 for a jango costume and paying $1600 for one and THEN paying $40+ more to send it back and have it fixed???!!! They are con-artists who WAYovercharge since I have seen better Boba Fett's on sale for FAR less I hate them, I hope they all die in their factory while it burns to the ground, dirty bastards
 
Yeah SFP stinks. Too bad you had to learn this the hard way. Hopefully though, bringing this thread back will maybe steer someone else away from them.

Welcome to TDH though. This is where you want to be if you want to be boba fett.

hey just like to say that the star fortress suit is very well made and worth the money ,also for me it took about 3 to 4 weeks to get it ,what most people dont understand is that it comes from china and there has been a lot of weather problems overseas , i work for the airlines and 4 weeks is a good shipping time. so if you can relax and kill those ants in your pants it will all be there before ya know it. all in all its a well built suit that comes with side pouches and straps even the esb version.:cheers
 
dhs36,
Glad to hear that you are happy with your purchase. But for a majority of us, I think, it has to do with quality first, shipping time 2nd. There have been quite a few of us that ordered from him, including myself, and received very poor quality. When contacted, he blew us off and pretty much said your problem, too bad. I ordered an ESB jumpsuit from him and received the wrong size. I was not my measurments because I had a professional measure me. I was told to pound sand and if I want another one, I would have to pay for a new one. So in the end, SFP has a pretty bad rap here.
But again, VERY glad that you had a good experience with them.

Just like to state that SFP is a total waste of time,effort,happiness,hopes,dreams, and money. The coveralls were the only thing that I DID NOT have to heavily modify in order to make it useable. The velcro is coming off the armor plates, I have to glue them bacj with epoxy every other wear, in all these are the people that deserve death in the most horrible way I can imagine for what they do to honest people
 
sorry if i said the wrong thing in my post but nobody should wish death on anyone !! so i didnt mean to tick off anyone just posted my run in with star fortress.
 
You didnt say anything wrong at all. You were just stating your opinion and experience with them. Unfortunately your experience is a rare one.
 
Has anyone found another site/company that makes metal Jango Fett blasters? I've so far only seen them on Starfortress Productions, and with all the negative rep they have, I'd prefer to order them from elsewhere. So far, it's seeming like my best bet is to take the risk of ordering the blasters from them. ( I just can't spare $700 to $800 for a set of MR blasters on E-Bay. )
 
Skygunbro flight suits are the only way to go. It was good enough for me just Tuesday when I represented the 501st/GGG and LFL as ESB Boba for the delivery of Lukes Lightsaber for the space shuttle mission. They are great, quick, and professionally made. In fact I am going to order another shortly, just to have a spare
 
STAY CLEAR OF STAR FORTRESS!!!! TRUST ME, YOU DO NOT WANT TO DO BUSINESS WITH THEM. THEY ARE RUDE, DON'T ANSWER EMAILS AND THEY SEND YOU THE WRONG STUFF AFTER WAITING SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LONG
 
"R2 says the chances of survival are 725 to 1" say again dont buy anything from them the guy who owns it fled the USA to the Philippines under the charges of raping a child molestation child pornography and many other cases also the products they send out cost so much less then what they charge it would be easier to make them yourself then to go through the SFP wait its not a good idea people rarely get their stuff and when they do its cheap and un usable
 
lol im sorry i didnt know it was 3 yrs old i just have been getting stuff now about new people over at mando mercs askin about it the new members and im not a offical member yet but i know alot about this guy you dont want to mess with him he is the worst business man ever
 
Ok is there anything that can be done to put Star Fortress productions out of business? They need to be wiped off the face of the earth. Thank God I came across TDH. I was about to purchase some armor from them, but you all saved me. Thank you!!!
