Well I am posting in this thread, because as of late, I have seen some cases of people saying things about customs...that..really kinda, not really bug me, but make me think.
I have seen posts of things like "That is really a CUSTOM" and so on, in different threads, over the past two days.
My thoughts about those types of comments: Nothing is truly custom, and the fact is, almost everything goes off of some sort of inspiration. No matter how cool, or out of the ordinary, or "non-traditional", it went off of something.
Especially with Mando costumes, the only reason we have Mandos is because of Boba and Jango Fett, then came the EU on them.
My question: What are the other mandos then if some people think they are not entirely "custom" ?
Just because they go "traditional" with their costume doesn't make it any less of a costume.
I used both, Jango and Boba parts on my costume, why? Because I can't make anything completely by hand, I don't have access to moulds and fiberglass, and things of that nature. Even the people who make something out of the ordinary go off of something already made.
There isn't a difference between any custom mandos, some are just better than others by quality, nothing is entirely Custom.
