lol, the kid reviewing kind of looks like a plastic figure.
That figure sucks. There, I said it for all those that are afraid to.
Is version 2 pants dirty? I can't tell. The main buying feature for me with V1 was the dirty pants!
Tell me about it. Ive been looking as well. I occasionally see version 1 on the Bay.I wouldn't mind picking up a set of the V2 hands but I can't find them anywhere. I figured this would be parted out like crazy by now.
I had no intention of buying the v2 sideshow Fett until I saw him in person. I took a family vacation to Disney world and saw him in the high end Star Wars shop. I have a stock v1 and my v2 which is also stock and took some comparison pics. I hated the original but I love the v2. I spent weeks making a medimix and got it to where I want it but the v2 will now retire my medimix. some observations I've made on improvements are as follows, and you should see in the pics. I am not a good photographer and used an Ipad for photos so hopefully you can see the difference.
Not sure if body is different but it seems improved but it may be due to a better fitting costume. I don't feel the need for a truetype swap.
Helmet: much better paint apps, colors pop more on the v2. Also the shape of the helmet seems to be more accurate. more flared out on the sides, however the t-visor was not changed. Helmet looks much better.
chest: better paint apps and is form fitted. Also all plates are properly aligned. Paint apps are much nicer as well as the colors used.
neck protector is make of a thin cloth and not the thick foamy neck protector of the v1. also white not off white. much nicer looking.
Flight suit: Probably the biggest improvement. Color is nice blue grey and the material is a thinner better fitting material. Makes a huge difference.
Wookiee scalps are much improved and the v2 gun has improved paint apps.
All in all I love it and think this should have been the one we received originally. Should you buy it? That is up to you and how big of a Fett fan you are. I am a big fan and the ESB version is my favorite so I am very happy with him. He honestly looks great and really didn't take much futzing. I also think he will look great next to the hot toys version. I have the 1/4 scale fett and the premium format and he looks great with them. Hope this helps. I put them in the same pose for the comparison pics.

Are the hands on V2 all the same mold as the V1? The apps are obviously darker, but hard to say if they're a different mold - I'm assuming not.
Thanks for posting the pics!
Thanks for posting these great comparison pics!
I thought I was going to pass on this guy too, but now im having second thoughts after seeing your pics.
Too bad sideshow didn't give us this one the first release.
