[Fett 4 Real]

Just saw Bobby Fett UK on the youtube, this is promising.

Yep, very cool. So how many people/makers have this now?....

 

[MinuteFett]

Using non shrink material, a COA, payment plans, and offering painted services?
Rs props is killing it!

 

[spacebob]

They’re also offering it painted!
looking forward to seeing what It will look like!

oh you mean castings of the esb? To my count there are over 50 castings out there, with more to come from the rs props and the mc helmet.
The fett community will be saturated with this helmet.

£425 Raw ...

Yup! The best deal out there right now.

 

[intwenothor]

That is a 1st generation helmet, molded to produce 2nd gen casts. At a great price!

He mentioned the Elstree project that’s going on.

The "Elstree Project" you're referring to is a later recast of the ESB-MC (mine). Provided RS's claims are legit and they didn't get duped into a 2nd Gen helmet, that makes a total of two 2nd Gen casts available. Mine, and theirs.

I always thought the Elstree project base was a minutefett Hero cast.

Which is a recast of a recast of the ESB-MC.

Exactly, but people are presenting it as a diferent source, which is not.

 

[intwenothor]

It almost looks as if the later generation recasts have directly influenced these earlier generation casts becoming available. Whatever the case may be, I think that early generation ESB casts for the wider audience is good for Fett fans. You have to wonder if these will now lessen the relevance of the later gen recasts; I would certainly think so as the goal is always likely to be to get as close to the source as possible. As he points out in the video, the more generations you introduce the more distortions and shrinkage you're likely to get so 2nd gen is going to be more desirable than a later generation,well, at least in my view.

It's a nice video.

Peace.

This is certainly cool on all angles...but, the current EFX Fett, which I also have, was made from a cast directly off the screen used ESB helm?
Or are they talking about just a straight, unaltered casting?

 

[intwenothor]

The latter.

 

[siman]

This is a first gen cast direct from Gino

 

[siman]

And unaltered
