1/6 Hot Toys 1/6 Boba Fett ESB Version

[Wor-Gar]

Use a blue gray dye to get it back. China blue is just too blue. Unless you're a blue-coat Han type.

It looks almost khaki, which isn’t a bad color scheme for the RotJ version. Some reference picts have Fetts jump suit pretty faded and neutral and it looks good imo.

Took the words out of my mouth. Looks faded and worn, would like to see this on a custom Mythos figure.

Nice! Not enough pics of the Pre Pro. I find it visiually more interesting.

Well I dyed it China blue and it was two blue for me so I used rite dye remover Andi used less than a teaspoon and all the went, and I got the weirdest color.t

for some odd reason I think it looks great. The jumpsuit looks aged more to match the battle damaged armor

But this aged jumpsuit is a great base to make a custom aged weathered White Prototype Boba Fett

Is there a blue gray dye? I didn't see one.

I think the trick is not to leave it in too long. I dyed my Luke Hoth vest and it seemed like you really only keep it in maybe 20-30 seconds.

If it's too blue, rather than using Rit Dye remover (which makes colors go weird most of the time, rather than simply removing the color - I've seen it turn greys pink and blues to a faded orange) just trying rinsing it over and over in pretty hot water. It will reduce the intensity by maybe 10% and sometimes that's enough.

Thanks for the tip

correct.

There's a powder blue RIT that is very good at producing light pale blue. But again, depends how much dye you pour in and how long you soak. Takes time to get the timing down.

Sunlight is also great at fading RIT dye over time.

Third time is a charm are use rit aqua marine color? I’m getting tired of dying . I’ll stick with this for a bit.

I dyed mine China blue, but didn't leave it in for long(a few minutes) fearing it would be too blue.

The hulk is strong with this one.

Maybe the yellowing of the jumpsuit after the dye removal is working with the blue to give you a green tint.

Aqua marine is a green color, so that's not much of a surprise.

I think people are remembering their treasured Kenner Fett rather than the movie...

Wasn't he more of a blue-gray in the movie?

 

[swfan217]

Fourth time is a charm this color is called Kentucky blue

That looks a bit too teal imo, not terrible, just a hint of green too much I think

 

[Wor-Gar]

Cool it off with RIT pearl gray - don't let it soak too long, just enough to cut the vibrancy.

Love this figure. After some futzing, he's badass right out of the box.

Damn straight! I use to go on rants about how the Jedi version is more movie accurate..but to hell with accuracy lol. This guy really blows that one out of the water.

I'm going for a blue something between these two. Wish me luck.
