How much do you think the helmet will go for on EBay/Toy anxiety?

These are taken from half way across the room with a zoom lens (can see the distance from the first shot). Tough to tell with this helmet though, the slightest change in angle and it looks so different. Also in reality we're not looking at these figures from across the room all the time, when we view more closely things get distorted by that very fact as well. Lighting wasn't ideal and didn't have the tripod set up for longer exposures.

Yeah...that shows the helmet shape a lot better! Thanks for taking those.

Looks great to me.

Still looks like a figure and NOT a man in a suit aka Snowtrooper. Still getting it though

Here are some pics I took next to my old custom SSC V1 (ported to slim Truetype and repainted with Dented Helmet color pattern-except helmet back).



Some comparison pics of helmets and accessories.


(HT on top)

(HT are the bigger and darker ones)

(SSC on top)


HT with SSC gauntlets (if permanent one should modify the body forearms beacuse the pegs are bearely reachable).


HT with my old SSC converted to Prepro (that's the final project). I need another belt for the pouches and a different neck peg (head is just resting on the neck).

Great custom fett and comparisons sith

What were HT thinking with those over scaled gauntlets ?? I'll be swapping them out as well...

Great comparison shots!
I love the way the HT helmet looks in this pic:

They have one on eBay right now in the US for $69.99 (including shipping), and I'd say $50 on Toy Anxiety..but they'll probably sell out seconds after they put them on their site. A lot of people are definitely going to want this helmet for their ROTJ Fett's for sure.

Dunno. The only possible explanation is wrist articulation hiding pegs.

Feeling better about this Boba than the ROTJ one. Similar issues but one of the main ones with the ROTJ was the overall olive color that was too prominent. This isn't perfect but it looks good on the shelf and the other nitpicks can be hidden a bit.

Finally got a little time to futz around with this guy.

^^^Those pics make it look good. I’m looking for reasons to get it, and those just might’ve about done it lol

They're black pegs. They aren't hiding anything.

Outstanding photo comparisons! The two quoted above, in particular, are really helpful. Thank you very much for posting all of the pics!

When I saw the comparison from behind, it struck me how tiny the HT jetpack looked. So, I put a publicity photo of movie Fett in between the HT and SS figures to see more clearly how the jetpacks compare. Yeah, the HT one is hilariously undersized, especially the rocket part.



I think that front comparison pic is the best I've seen the HT helmet look so far (and even more recent images posted today are presenting it nicely too). Again, I put a movie Fett photo in between the figures. The HT Helmet matches quite well, but those gauntlets are an eyesore.



In my opinion, Sideshow wins on jetpack, cape, and gauntlets. HT clearly wins on helmet; and also on boots, holster, knee pads, crotch armor, and rifle. But both suffer from the chest armor having shape and proportion problems, the shoulder armor being placed a little funky, and the jumpsuit not being tailored quite right.

At least we're at the point now where a mashup of the different parts can be used to produce a damn good Fett. This new HT figure brought a lot of key upgrade pieces into the mix.

Thanks again for the great (and very helpful) photos, SithThundercracker.

Just wish that HT helmet and chest armor had a touch more grey/blue, but again - really hard to judge colors until it's in-hand.

I'm fully expecting to do a significant rebuild on this figure and I have pretty much all the SSC parts (and some Medi parts) plus some handmade chest and back armor pieces that I think are a bit more accurate closer than the HT, so will be interesting doing a swapping mashup of all the best parts.

The HT helmet shape still isn't 100% but it's far better than anything else in 1/6 and importantly looks quite good from front-on.

Nice set-up, DR. Helmet’s looking really good there. Tempted by the Han carbonite. How do you like them together?
