Sideshow Life-Size Fett

Well, to be realistic it's not a finished product. The display is certainly impressive in every aspect. Sideshow is a great company but there are limitations to a mass produced piece. We haven't seen those limitations yet.

So what makes this "non-wearable"? Looks like if you just add some padding in the helmet it'd pretty much be good to go, no? If it goes on a mannequin, why wouldn't it go on a person? Or am I being a bit slow here and not getting the finer points of legal speak?
 
For one, I think the feet are moulded solid plastic. Not that that would stop you from just getting a pair of your own boots. But it could of course be more things that are solid.
 
No, almost each piece of armor has pegs with very strong magnets attached to lock each piece into the body of the mannequin. Actually, the helmet is about the only piece you could somewhat wear if you wanted to.
 
Hey all,

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but regarding wearability, it's my understanding that is something that could potentially violate certain licenses with Lucasfilm, so this was always designed as a statue, not a wearable costume in any way.

I can also confirm that the current design of the helmet does not allow wearability (in order to achieve the pose ability it requires changes that don't allow it to be wearable) and the feet will likely be solid (they are on the prototype).

Assuming the reversible knees feature (which I love!) makes it through production, the only pieces that would potentially have magnets will be the knees and the chest panel with the LED (for battery access), possibly the thumbs for blaster assembly, depending how they do the final production of it. Every other piece will be a permanent part of the statue via blocks/keys that lock each element to the body form below.

Hope that is some help!

best,
Tom
 
Hey guys,

Thanks so much for allowing me to be apart of this amazing project. Special thanks to Art, Alex, Jason, Chris, Philip and Tom. :)

I feel a Ralph McQuarrie concept fett coming! :p

Best,
Christian

Looks like I'll be selling a a kidney or two to get one of these. I hope that they aren't too expensive and if they are there will be a payment plan. I want one. Or do I want a HIC? Argh why can't I be rich.
 
It looks good guys, should be proud to be able to make and display such a great piece for anyone to have(y). I'm curious how much one of these bad boys will run and since its Sideshow, if the prototype will match the production quality.

Man Alex one of these days I would love to talk paint and technique with you.

Anytime, love that stuff too. (y)

Here is one of my favorite pics taken.. to me it shows the depth in which I painted all the armor pieces for this version. IMO prob the best ESB I've painted to date.

Alex,

What an amazing job you did with the paint scheme...Always preferred more of the topical technique when it comes to realism and you nailed it! Would of preferred a smoother LEFT gauntlet design rather than the ridged version used but it's certainly a jewel of a statue. Any Jetpack angles? :)

Congrats man!
 
hey Alex,
I took a pic or two of the Sideshow Boba while we were there.
This one shows the colors a little better

I have a much larger version if you want me to email it to ya
 
I also found this selection of pics on Rebelscum.com of just the lid Rebelscum.com: San Diego Comic Con 2012. I think this shows quite well how this piece will not be wearable.
Ha Ha! These weren't suppose to be posted!!... oh well, thanks to Dave Myatt at Rebelscum.com.
And please keep in mind that everything is still in a "prototype" stage... so what you see on the inside is not at a production level just yet.

Thanks Christian, so glad that you were included in this project, you really came through with an amazing pack. I do have additional pics of the pack from the studio, I will see if I can get permission to post them. :D PM Me.

Thanks Nate, great shot of it...gotta say when I painted the Jetpack I totally thought of replicating the one you painted for Jeremy...(y)
Good to see you again buddy.
 
The scope on the blaster has a few things wrong with it: Rear bell looks wrong shape (diameter transition too sharp), windage unit too far forward and front scope ring is the wrong way round.
