RS Prop Masters Lineage Boba Fett Helmet

Have you contacted Rob or Andrea at RS for a status update?

What I meant was that the run started a couple of years ago... I ordered mine at the beginning, and haven't heard any progress updates. It would be awesome to see if others have received theirs. I'm sure RS had a ton of orders, and I know these helmets take an incredible amount of time and effort to paint.

I received mine (fully painted with metal ears) around four months ago.

I would send them an email asking for an update on an existing order. They may still be working on the run.

I think many of the Fett helmets were damaged in the fire last year and they are still catching up because the detailed paint jobs take time. Definitely email them.

With RS not offering these anymore, what would be the best alternative to getting a high-end Fett helmet?

There are multiple vendors who are offering G4/G5 castings of the hero helmet. I believe RS stated that they're going to continue to do runs of their G2 helmets in the future but only as kits. Machine Craft Replicas offers G2 but they haven't done a run since their first offering.

I have a Machine Craft Replicas helmet painted by Fett 4 Real...it was pricey but well worth it.

I think MachineCraft is planning on doing a cleaned up ESB helmet.

Yeah cleaned up versions have been available for some time from basically all vendors.

I have two cleaned versions, ESB and SE;
