Star Wars, Boba Fett Costume, Collector Supreme Edition, Adult Standard - 2.0 out of 5 stars from 6 customer reviewsGives Boba Fett a bad name
Before you read note that I am a fair person. Even if things disappoint I try hard to find the good things in something.. with that in mind....
Bought this product for an upcoming convention and for this years Halloween. Can't express how excited I was when the box came. I had previously purchased the collector edition helmet and was 100% satisfied with that. So I assumed that this costume at this price point would be equally satisfying.
When I opened the box I expected to have another master replica helmet but the helm was baaaaaaaad. Visor was not near dark enough.. you could see my face in it when I wore it. It also looked small and like someone attacked it with a silver paint brush. The main dent on the helm was the worst part... there was a dent but there was a silver x painted across it as a poor attempt at detailing.
But I figured I had a good helm, oh well lets continue on and see if something can be salvaged..
The next...
Good, but could be better
I bought this for Halloween 2008. $600 is a little pricey, but it's the best deal that I found.
The costume overall looks good.
I expected a better fit. This costume is not made for comfort. For the price, you would think Lucasfilms would make a better functional product. This costumes needs more straps, velcro, and padding to make it feel more secure. The helmet was the most disappointing feature of these costume; there's no straps, the padding sucks, and it's a solid one piece plastic mold. The details on the helmet are lame.
I bought the standard size, and I am 6'1". The standard size is slightly oversized for me. I can't imagine what the XL size looks like.
Lastly, the black undersuit that comes with the costume is poor quality and doesn't work well with the armor; it's a generic black suit that you can buy with any $20 Halloween costume. This costume is good if you need basic Stromtrooper armor, but will need a lot of modifications before it comfortable and...
Not worth the $600+
I concur with the other reviews, this costume is way overpriced for what you get. I spent no less than 20 hrs sewing in more velcro, making a new girth belt (costume one is rubber and cheap looking), ordering a new ammo belt (costume one also rubber, no actual pockets), making a new cape, adding window tint to the visor on the helmet (because as stated, you can clearly see your face through it). The cod piece around your waist is terribly lose and feels like it will fall to your ankles as you walk around....very comical....I had to reinforce it as well. Also, after 20 hrs of modding my costume to make it 1) more realistic and 2) more functional, I went to the party and upon going to the bathroom realized I overlooked one small very important detail....there is no flap on the front....meaning if you need to use the bathroom, you must have someone unstrap you from the back and pull down the entire jump suit.....not functional at all...needless to say, I decided to cut a hole in the...
