Beautiful collection and classy display!

You gonna add the white retro at some point?

For those who are going to use the SS fett for the PRO 1 gear....there a few small modifications needed to make so that everything fits.

The stock neck joint is a little long so needs swapping out for a shorter standard TT version.

The little silver peg on the SS cape is glued in place but is easy enough to remove by first heating it up and then prying it out. You can then clip in the HT cape.

New clips are also needed on the SS backplate in order for the HT Jetpack to fit.

The ammo belt is the easiest mod to do...the small pouches are held down with glue so they're easy to remove and then realign to the center of the belt.
I also used a sachet of Dylon china blue hand dye on the SS flight suit.

Thank you for this, very helpful post! Im just porting my HT helmet onto the V2 SSC, so now i know exactly what to get

When it comes to accuracy of the helmet...for me Medicom is still the closest..

I've always preferred the Medicom one as well. If only it actually had a 'real visor' like the others and was a bit larger..it'd be perfection. For some reason with this new one, the horizontal part of the visor bothers me more than the ROTJ version; as it seems to stand out more with it's width.

I just placed my order for the Deluxe Version...anyone know when these are shipping from Sideshow?

I was just coming to terms with the inaccuracies, but all this talk is making me disappointed again.
You're probably right though, there's almost certainly a re-released slated in the next ten years. Who knows, by then for $600 maybe they'll make the armor die-cast.

I sure as hell hope not! Don't ever want another updated ESB/ROTJ Fett lol. What would be cool though is light-up chest armor displays and the light-up portions of the jetpack. I'm sure someone out there will make it happen with this figure..along with a perfect 3D printed helmet and colour scheme. But I'm definitely content on these.

Someone mentioned a page back that they got a shipping notice for this Wednesday. I haven't received that email, but I got one saying that the remaining balance will be processed on Tuesday. Not sure about yours as you just placed your order. It seems like the 'first come, first serve' thing is unpredictable with Sideshow; so yours might be shipped out this week with the first batch.

I set up a payment plan based on the original shipping date for late this year/early next year. I'm assuming they'll stick to that and not send notice of early arrival?

I wouldn't mind but I'm nearly paid up for the ESB Vader and that's nowhere near arriving (as far as we know).

I was charged this morning from Sideshow.

I was charged this morning, so I'd imagine these are shipping out either tonight or tomorrow.

I've just been told by Sideshow that they're due in before end of September although they are due in in small batches from next week and they're being sent out in the order they were pre-ordered. Hmmmmmm.

General sense of 'stuff will happen... and things... and stuff'

Thx!

Thx everyone for the shipping info! Would love it if they shipped mine out this week, but not holding my breath on that as I just ordered...but that would be awesome

Whelp. That does it then. I was holding off ordering Rey so I could order this and Rey together and pay a combined shipping. But if Fett is getting fulfilled in drips and drabs, then I'm just going to go ahead and order Rey and put in for my deluxe Fett pre order.

I ordered through BBTS I'm glad I've got a little more time. These early releases are bitter-sweet for me.

If SS isn't getting them all in until September, we probly won't see them until October with the time frame BBTS has been receiving them lately. Which is totally fine for me; I didn't want a 4 figure influx (Boba, Emperor, 2 RGs) 6 months in advance haha.

 

[The Jerker]

Ordered with BBTS as well and don't mind the delay. That will give me time to decide what to do with ROTJ Fett.

We'll all see about that.

They aren't, I PO'd mine(regular version) later on. I think Sideshow goes by customer loyalty.

That’s what I’m thinking. I cancelled my order for this with them. PO’ed DS Anakin within the hour he went up and i havent gotten an email while some already have received the figure.

Ha... yeah. I looked to see if I could find a chin rub emoji. Well I converted my order from Payment plan to pay in full so let's see what happens.

Well I've never cancelled a PO with them and in the short time I've been doing 1/6 I've ordered most directly from SSC. Let's see what happens.
