I got me a ROTJ Boba Maker VX Helmet back in 2020. And when I started out in the beginning, also wondered about this. I ended up just getting a Light kit from
Neo Fett . Which consisted of the following:
1) Machine Craft Replicas - Metal Hollow Stalk
2) Servo Kit
3) Topper
4) Hand Cut Acrylic Block
5) Two Red LED's
6) White LED (
Lights up Acrylic Block)
The kit was already all assembled when it arrived at my doorstep, and once installed (
Kind of a Plug-N-Play experience), it worked great! And 3 years later,
STILL going strong! I see that now his kits (
Link here) are JUST the servo components and LED's. But perhaps a DM with Neo Fett could lead to '
other' arrangements.
Here is a couple GIF's of my setup....
I ended up also doing the '
Glove Button' option - Using my Ring Finger to my palm. While touching my thumb to the helmets ear cap, mimicking like we see Boba do in that episode (
S2 E6 - "The Tragedy") of
The Mandalorian.
Hope this little bit of information helps you out.
Cheers,
