Quote:I\'d heard MR were bringing out a Fett but I hadn\'t seen any pics until now. Looks nice but your right about the paint. What\'s there looks good but it\'s just not detailed enough for me but I\'m sure they\'ll sell, the name and licence will take care of that.
Nice bucket you\'ve got there though and is that the full Rubies deluxe Vader costume? What\'s it like in the flesh?

No, it\'s not the Rubies costume. It\'s a Don Post original CA, reshaped and custom painted in an autobody shop, as well as modified with aluminum components. It also has a 100% pieced together costume. Fiberglass armor, shins, full leather tunic, pants,cod piece and gloves. I even got the two cape set from an ILM employee. The set used to be used for promotional gigs in California. The cape is unbelievably long.
I\'m 6\'2" normally, and in costume 6\'6", and the Rubies costume just doesn\'t fit anyone over 6 feet tall. I think they made it for shorter people. I\'ve always encountered this problem in costumes, so I figured afew years ago that I\'d put one together myself. Hope you think it\'s cool....
