New to TDH? Read this about how much you will spend!

[Mr Fett]

Look up all the threads around here about the Rubies suit before you jump in. Other guys around here have worked off it like you are thinking of doing. You are going to have to do a lot...and I mean A LOT....of work to get it up to the base accuracy level for 501st acceptance. Just telling you this as an FYI as you said your plan is to have a fully screen accurate ROTJ costume. This means you are basically going to have to replace every single piece of that Rubies costume.

So, your choice is between getting the Rubies and modifying it and upgrade pieces as you are able to OR start from scratch buying individual components from members here and making it an ROTJ costume from the get-go. I know for a fact that no Boba costumer is ever "done" with their Boba, so either route will be ok for you, based on what you personally decide to do. Since my last post in this thread back in May, I went on a Boba upgrade kick myself and have dropped another $1,300+ into my Boba to upgrade some parts that needed it.

Could someone PM me the information for someone I need to contact about purchasing a helmet? I've read about Fettpride and Asok(who I have read has passed recently. He seemed to be extremely well liked by everyone on here, very sorry for the loss!). But I'm unsure of where to go from there.

Send a private message to either of them and things will proceed from there.

Thanks for the post, this is going to help me in the budget for my sith lord outfit which is going to have a mandalorian helmet.

This is a very helpful thread. Thank you!

Yes, there's a bit of sticker shock, but can you really put a price on being the Fett? =)

Great information for me to budget.

I generally make custom lightsaber hilts. They are cheap to build and there is an endless possibility of designs. I want to build both Fett helmets (Jango and Boba)

Is there any dealer I can talk to or contact to purchase a completed suit.

Is there a dealer that I can contact or email to have build and ship the whole suit

Bobamaker can make the whole deal..but be prepared to pay and wait a while.

 

[TattoedSith]

[Fett 4 Real]

Where are you located and what's your budget.

 

[TattoedSith]

I'm located in Dover, De and my budget will depend on the price

 

[syllander]

for a better price, contact R S prop masters. Just do a google search for them.

Honestly you're looking at about 7 grand for a movie quality suit finished and shipped from either of them. Maybe more. I'd say less if you were in the UK
