I'm needing a set of hook for my MOW jetpack myself, please let me know if you find any. Thanks!

PM sent for ROTJ braids!

Got my ROTJ set from Justin... he does great work!

Working on my MOW jetpack now. The underside of the ROTJ jetpack has a push button type switch on the right, and an open rectangular area on the left or a poorly photographed/darkened rectangular covering (at least, the past 25+ years where one of the hero jetpacks has been seen on display). 1)...

David: I've had my Fett since the late 1990s and picked at it off and on for what seems like forever. It's a display piece, first and foremost. Make sure not to take it too "seriously" and don't sweat the small stuff. This is an amazingly fun hobby, and hopefully not anxiety inducing. The fact...

Thanks for the Info! I was in the dark on this.

My recently acquired MOW Fett Jetpack has this slim disk shaped piece, which for the life of me I can't figure out exactly where it belongs. It has to be on the main rocket assembly, but does not "look right" wherever I place it. Here's the rocket assembly; the piece in question is in the lower...

Great work! Please let me know if you do a ROTJ set!

To me, the ROTJ knees always look to be a (weathered) orange shade, with yellow highlights around the chipped paint/exposed silver. I haven't found a good looking rattle can yellow...

Below is my near 25 year journey to a "good" Fett. Is this procrastination or what? Not striving for 501st verification, just for display. Currently with the ROTJ-SE variant (although the helmet is more Pre-Pro 3 but still nice). What started off as a throw together costume for medical...

BTW: Did anyone here realize where Boba Fett is standing when we see him in his post-Sarlacc ROTJ flight suit? It goes by so fast, I initially didn't notice. But here you go...an AMAZING callback to a cut scene from the original 1977 Star Wars...

While not screen accurate and off in so many details, I can attest that at the time, this thing was AWESOME. More so than the stormtrooper. It's only those of us nerds and geeks here who would even notice that it's not accurate to the SE or ROTJ Fett.

Recent video interview with Don Post, where he goes into some detail about how they went to the LFM archives to get info for the Boba Fett (and the other life size statues they did). He talks about modifying the unseen portions of the shin tools, getting a leather smith to do the belt pouches...

Anyone else notice that his helmet is now more narrow than in the OT/Mandalorian, and his neck collar armor and chest armor now have straight edges, rather than the tapering slopes of the OT and The Mandalorian? And the large left chest armor dents (right side as you face him) are gone.
