Since the beginning of the ROTJ fett helmet project I've had countless inquiries about its availability to board members. With this post I wanted to take a minute to answer this question and possibly a few others... Although recent events have no reflection on this decision, the ROTJ helmet does not have a foreseeable production date. With the current flooding of recasted mystery helmets and the struggle to keep ones hard work safe from these practices, the ROTJ helmet is a bit to unique and taking the chance of it getting recasted isn't worth it.
Why do I consider this helmet unique? Last year FP had the privilege to study and handle a real deal PrePro helmet with the very generous courtesy of a collector of screen used and production used pieces... During this time nuances, measurements, and details were incorporated into FPs sculpt which achieved a new level of accuracy never before seen with a fan based piece. Again, in light of the current trend of recasting of Fett pieces, the ROTJ doesn't have much chance of being released.
Does this suck??? Yeah, I think it absolutely does... The ROTJ project was done for the members of this board specifically, as well as for ourselves. Until we find a better way to protect the work from recasters this is where we're at. Since there has been SO much interest even long after the fact of showing the helmet on this board I felt it necessary to address it here.
As far as the rest of FPs parts are concerned, some members have ventured a guess that FP may not be producing these items in the future. This statement couldn't be more wrong. If you seek info on anything else, please feel free to contact me...
