Star Wars Boba Fett Deluxe B000V6IN3O

Star Wars Boba Fett Deluxe Adult Costume Standard - 3.0 out of 5 stars from 18 customer reviews


Flimsy but Fun
I got my Boba Fett halloween costume for '08 halloween. I expected what I saw in the image, but instead you get a REAL flimsy costume. I am around 5'7" and the suit was loose. All the parts on the suit can be torn off with force quite easily. The yellow shoulder pads and knee pads are not sewed on well at all, especially the knee pads. The chest plates won't line up to your chest unless you are the right height. The "rocket launchers" on your arms are real crappy. Can be torn really easily.
The best part about this suit is the helmet. It's real legit. It makes the costume. Without it, you have a REAL crappy costume.

Because the helmet is so good, I would recommend it. It's really fun, and I don't think it's too expensive.


Meh
I just got my costume in the mail today for this Halloween. It's... not the greatest. I figured the body suit would be junky based on the other review, but I took heart in hoping that the helmet would be great like it said. It's not. It comes in two halves that velcro together- but the halves are all but flat when you get them. So they smush your nose down and give you the widest, goofiest Boba Fett head imaginable. It's very thing plastic that will clearly snap easily. The paint job is crappy, but the colors are at least true to character. There are ventilation slits by your mouth- so it doesn't fit the movie costume, but will help you breath easier.
The suit is no better. Scratchy polyester and goofy foam parts. The cape gives it nice dimension, but is made from equally crappy material. I am 5'7" and the suit is huge on me. It probably makes a difference that I'm a girl, but I'm not tiny. My hips and chest are 36"- I'm literally swimming in this costume. If you are any smaller...


Needs a lot of work.
I received this costume, with hopes that I could use it as is. I am of average height 5' 9" 180 lbs athletic build. The costume did not fit properly at all. It looked ridiculous. I ended up cutting all the foam rubber armor pieces off of the costume and attaching it to clothing that fit my frame properly. The helmet was very cheep, I replaced it with a better quality one, I found made by the same manufacturer. By the time I was done making this into a decent looking costume, I spent over, $160.00. Unless you have the time and skill set to put into this costume, I would not recommend buying this item.
