Another option is to wait a few years for the efx bucket
Few years isn't an understatement either...

And of course that will just be a helmet, which doesn't have quite the presence of a full bust.

Maybe not the presence, but being that it's molded from the ESB Hero lid, I'll take it. The more I see of this piece, the more I like it, just don't have room for most 1:1 stuff.

One piece I wished I would have pulled the trigger on but other stuff kept coming up. I'll pick it up one day if I can find a decent price on it. This is a piece I like the presence of the SS version more than I do accuracy of just the bucket by itself. Vader is a different story for me though.
True, I just wish the SSC bust had a better paint job. It just seemed like a lazy effort for any realistic battle damage.

I wonder why we haven't seen a custom paint of this bust?

Possibly everyone who paid that much for the bust doesn't want to risk ruining it, or the people capable of Re-painting it already have a more accurate hand-made Boba Bust
But there's always 'someone' who's willing to do it. 
Actually, I already "ruined" mine.

Alls fair, a signature is a welcome addition compared to a repaint, as I have sever signatures inside my Mando helmet. Also, your photos and reviews of the bust are absolutely top notch, and are one of the main reasons I regret not getting this piece
But look at that helmet next to the actual ESB Fett helmet, you can really tell whats lacking
yep.
MR did a better job, although they screwed the visor up royally.
Although I own the bust (got it for a steal) I may sell it when the efx version eventually hits.

If I remember correctly, MR didn't get the actual Fett helmet used in the movies, it was one of the pre-pros or a stunt helmet, as well as the visor issue. I might just end up getting a bobamaker and commission a proper paint job on it, but we'll see. If you end up selling your bust let me know I might be interested if I can't get in on the efx run, as I've never ordered from them and have no idea how fast they sell out of their products

Correct, the MR helmet is actually based off Pre-Production 3 helmet, which is almost identical in many aspects to the actual helmet seen in the movie.
I believe Gino confirmed there will only be one helmet for their Fett helmet. I have the MR helmet (the pinch is actually being fixed as I type this, should have it back soon) but I'll be in line for their Fett offering.
