Rubies
Supreme Boba Fett Costume |
|
Below photos of Rubies new "Supreme" Boba Fett costume, due
to go on sale now (Sept 09) for around $900. Note that without seeing the
costume we're VERY wary of just going on Rubies own in-house photographs
since they have been somewhat misleading in the past - we're thinking
here of Rubies Supreme Darth Vader where shots of the actual screen-used
Vader were used to promote it - rather than the actual replica costume. |
|
 |
| Below a better look at the helmet which from
these photographs does look quite impressive. Although we think its freaking
hilarious that you can see the guy wearing it with his noses squashed up
against the visor. Looks like he pouting too! Note the CG'd boots - they're
not included. |
|
 |
| Initially it was wondered whether the helmet
was actually a Master Replicas "Limited Edition Hemet" - but as you can see from this comparisons below it clearly
isn't. Apart from the differences in the painting there are also a number of
structural differences, including the base of the stalk arm. Its possible it
came from the same moulds as MR's but we're expecting the Rubies
"Collectors" helmet to be made from plastic, as opposed to the Fiberglass
used on MR's. |

armor, braids and belt. |

|
 |
| ....Which as part of the overall package does
look (gulp!) actually rather good. Though clearly this isn't going to suit
the die-hard Mandalorian's out there - it does look like an "affordable"
Boba Fett costume and one that could be used as the basis for a more
accurate trooping costume. |
|
 |
| So at this early stage it looks to be Rubies
most impressive costume to date - although many will perhaps say that this
isn't saying too much. Bottom line is we'll have to wait until these ship
late September 09 before we can make a true judgement - since the quality of
the helmet will play a big part in how readily this is accepted by Fett
fans. |

Rubies
Supreme Chewbacca Costume |
|
Here's Rubies Supreme Chewbacca Costume (apparently he's grown a moustache!).
This is a studio shot so its hard to comment until we've seen a production
version. |
|
|
| It begs the question "why?", since I would have
thought most people tend to want to dress up as Clone Trooper rather than a Wookiee and maybe they should have gone for a deluxe version of one of the
fantastic new Ep3 troopers, but then what do we know? June 05 - Kevin's sent
us
these photos of the actual Rubies Supreme Costumes in a Store he visited. It
looks like someone back-combed his hair! |

He really does look like a "walking carpet". Oh what the
hell put us down for one - it could be fun. At least it'll give us a excuse
to use some crude jokes about "Spanking the Wookiee" |
