Darth_Finger Posted April 21, 2010 Report Posted April 21, 2010 Here are pics of the new ROTJ Elite helmet (armor coming soon) that I have on order. The maker was kind enough to send me in progress pics. This is looking up to be some amazing armor. Any questions send me a pm and I will send you his link. Cant wait to get it. Painted Quote
DoubleTap Posted April 21, 2010 Report Posted April 21, 2010 I recognize that armor. I was just holding all your stuff and helped pull some more on Saturday. It is that nice off white biscuit color. Really nice armor you are going to love it. I have a set coming too. Finally upgrading from the FX. Quote
Darth_Finger Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Posted April 21, 2010 Yeah I am really blown away by these pics. The detail is amazing. Quote
DoubleTap Posted April 21, 2010 Report Posted April 21, 2010 Don't want to derail your thread, but this is my favorite helmet from him which is also the biscuit color. Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted April 21, 2010 Report Posted April 21, 2010 Very nice - can I ask who the maker is? Quote
JoeR Posted April 21, 2010 Report Posted April 21, 2010 (edited) These must be the old Matt TE/FON molds, shame that they have been so messed around with, what is up with the cap on the helmet? If Matt/TE sold his original JEDI molds to GINO, then these are recast by Matt. Caveat emtor folks..... Compare the helmets from the first run 10 years ago with these new ones and ask yourself why they are different, when they are from the original JEDI helmet. Nice kit but it is what is it and don't be fooled by the BS. Joe Edited April 21, 2010 by JoeR Quote
sskunky Posted April 21, 2010 Report Posted April 21, 2010 Nice pics and a sweet looking set of armor. These are the molds I was looking to buy but I later found out that they are yet another recasted set from Matt(TE) They are nice but not quite what they seem as far as unmodified original molds. That's what stopped me. Still a nice set of armor though but just not a directly associated lineage as one is led to believe. Quote
troopermaster Posted April 21, 2010 Report Posted April 21, 2010 Whoever is making these should have left the moulds alone. They looked better before they were over sharpened <_< Quote
FON Posted April 22, 2010 Report Posted April 22, 2010 Sorry but NO, Nothing to do with the moulds from te's last run, these are Matt's recent recasts. Once again being shown here to boost sales, by those that adore him.. i'm sure i've seen those armour pics before too. I believe they are recycled images (save for the helmet, that looks new) from his first run. Please look into things before spouting it as truth on the forums. Quote
sskunky Posted April 22, 2010 Report Posted April 22, 2010 Chris, Are these not from the moulds you recently sold? Quote
FON Posted April 22, 2010 Report Posted April 22, 2010 No they are not. Matt started working on a "new run" back in January. Looks like he has finished his helmet moulds now. All the new stuff is re-recast from the stuff he was producing last year. I don't believe the suit pics are new, as i said before i'm sure i've seen those before. Knowing Matt, he is just re-useing them to get people in, and to fund his mould making and/or plastic. Quote
sskunky Posted April 22, 2010 Report Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) Cheers for the clarification Chris. Somehow that doesn't surprise me. Edited April 22, 2010 by sskunky Quote
JoeR Posted April 22, 2010 Report Posted April 22, 2010 Regardless of whether they are your olds ones or another of Matt's they are the same recast Matt molds. Who cares who has owned them? Matt is now selling ROTJ armour again, what a huge surprise. Dath Finger you should take this BS away from the FISD and stop advertising that lying scamming low life Matt's products. Joe Quote
FON Posted April 22, 2010 Report Posted April 22, 2010 Of course it matters. Why else would you be blasting this Darth Finger character for hocking Matt's wears. No pun intended. I get annoyed when my name comes into the equation when I'm not even involved, nor even asked about such a possiblility. Instead we get "Oh,it must have come from so and so... therefore we shall label it as such and such.".. Quote
FON Posted April 22, 2010 Report Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) Sorry to be so blunt about it. But this kinda stuff bugs me. Edited April 22, 2010 by FON Quote
Darth_Finger Posted April 22, 2010 Author Report Posted April 22, 2010 Sorry guys, didnt mean fire anyone up. Just excited to see pics of this armor that I have one order. If Mods want delete this thread. I will post pics when I have them in hand. Quote
HPDblues[TK] Posted April 22, 2010 Report Posted April 22, 2010 Hi Johnny, I don't think that deleting this thread is necessary at this point in time. The essence of this post was about a fellow trooper who is excited about finally getting his armor and merely wanted to share this with us on the FISD. Regardless of the its origins, lets be happy for DF and his new ROTJ Armor. Aloha, T Quote
sskunky Posted April 22, 2010 Report Posted April 22, 2010 Sorry DF, I was under the Impression this was new armor from a new maker of some recently sold moulds. As you were enjoy your new armor when it finally arrives. Quote

Darth_Finger Posted June 6, 2010 Author Report Posted June 6, 2010 In hand pics this time Armor coming soon. Pretty cool helmet, but I am still a fan of the ANH/ESB versions. Quote
