No I just glued the plates to the suit, my chest armor were off centered. And yes there was some futzing going on.Lopie, the belts on your HT Boba look perfectly futzed. Did you remove the fat suit?
I did a lot of mods to the SS ESB including repainting the armor and switching out the body to a HT Slim, but other than that it's all SS stuff. The proto Fett, and the Jango got the same treatment.What ESB Fett is that? It's not Sideshow's, or at least not entirely. Is it a custom mash up?

Jango mods include: striped the original color from the flight suit and redyed it, re-positioned the chest armor, extended the neck joint.
Here is a before and after mod, the neck area is corrected.

Jesus, Bane, you've got a GREAT eye.
Yes, the touring suits (there are several) are what the figures are based on, more or less. One important thing to keep in mind, though, are filters. That's the whole reason for where the Han Solo Hoth coat controversy comes from.
The gloves should have a bluish tint to the underglove, not greenish. You really nailed it on the flight suit, though. All of the fabric (gloves, flight suit, vest) was dyed blue, very quickly. That's why you can see remnants of the original white suit under the thigh pocket flaps on the RotJ suit.
There's just so many variations between the movies and the six (or more) full suits that were created.
On the bright side, this figure really is the best thing to ever be released at this scale. Kudos to the homie that posted up the Toy Anxiety part out (I'll name check him in my next post). I've ordered another body, vest and flight suit. Lots of great things to come.
But seriously, TaliBane, great research.
I'm having a lot of fun with this figure. I hate to say it, but he's so much more fun than the 1/4 scale.
Disrobed, removed the padded suit, shaved down the latissimus dorsi, redressed.
Wow, he looks way better without that fat suit. Removing a fat suit is a must.
I wonder if it's easy to do, or if there are any tricky things when disrobing?
Just strip the figure. Everything comes off easy enough. For the cod piece I gently pried at the seam on the side with a mini screw driver to break the glue seal. Once broken I zapped the side with a hair dryer. The silver bit on the side also keeps the the ends connected. Heating it up will allow you to push the end of the Silver connector through (the part that's against the waist). Not a great photo as I'm using a cell phone but taking the fat suit off makes a difference.HOW DOES THAT FAT SUIT COME OFF! I would like to know. Please. Thank you.
I will need to sell my V1 SS Fett to fund the purchase of HT. What do you think is a good reasonable price $200?
Nice pics and mods rubio.
This or Leia, can't decide, it's driving me crazy . Getting both is not an option, gotta "try" to stay disciplined in this hobby.
Nice pic jerker, definitely see the classic relaxed pose there.
