Star Wars The Black Series Deluxe Boba Fett Fixing Helmet Upgrade

[@SamAlexander14786]

It's so weird they didn't make the helmet removeable in the first place as the scuplt actually looks stellar!

[@joshuachristian5443]

I think that head will be fully painted when they release a Boba Fett from the Mando series...if they do that is. Why are they using the head unpainted and glued in on the recant two figures I have no idea.

Honestly the helmet not coming off is fine with me. He has a human head and who cares to see that

[@thevalleyard3942]

It is pretty wild that they left a good sculpt completely hidden, but I'm glad we're able to get the helmet off ourselves and do our own thing with it for sure

[@paulrippcord506]

Wait you’re telling me that Hasbro fully sculpted a head and just glued the helmet on? WTF?

[@parma_sean7733]

Its embarrassing that Hasbro doesn’t try to fix warped helmets. Great vid btw and stay safe out there

[@Bear0s32]

true hasbro is very lazy when packing their figures

[@hq9344]

You’re right. that helmet should have looked like what it did in pics when it first came out No excuse. Just when ya think they turned a corner

[@AlecFortescue]

You cant even ask for replacement with how it is all sold out. it's effectively a damaged item

[@alexcharles8541]

At the risk of sounding like a hasbro sympathizer- I do love the figures- I’m glad they’ve got the new helmet over head sculpt thing going on. At least it’s easier to fix warped helmet issues than it has been in the past.

This is,what I'm talking about. Remove these helmets. Paint the heads. Great job my guy!

As a fellow modeler/painter, you killed it my friend!! That helmet shape really Madre a good difference, along with the black washing, and extra battle damage, and all the other tlc you added to the gauntlets etc is perfect, can't wait to get mine, and add my touches, cheers!!

Awesome thanks bud much appreciated

[@schmellenberg4967]

I think that the head should have looked exactly like Jango Fett in Attack Of The Clones, with the black hair and the stubble.

[@CenturionsCorner]

Yeah unfortunately it's the head they just glued underneath 😒 😑

[@alexcharles8541]

The head under helmet designed was actually supposed to lead to less warped helmets and more natural looking head/body ratios. Shame it doesn’t always work.

[@TK-qn2ch]

Nice job! The black wash on the pants and undersuit are definitely needed. Looks tons better. I think if I were to remove the helmet, once it got to the correct shape I might glue it back on. I don't have painting skills so I wouldn't attempt painting the face.

[@CenturionsCorner]

Thanks buddy, you might be able to correct it without taking it off

[@cajuncoyote2039]

Nice job. I'm not brave enough to attempt removing the helmet so I'll just try heating it up to fix the shape. Hasbro needs to hire better quality control.

[@andredulac4456]

For the price, it's a shame we need to fix it... I will stay with the bandai model kit version, my favorite boba fett figure, did several custom with it, really happy.

I don’t understand wtf Hasbro was thinking. They can give us a “Deluxe” Mando with removeable helmet and Din Djarin headsculpt but half ass a “Deluxe” Boba with unpainted headsculpt with helmet glued on?!?! Seriously WTF Hasbro?!?!

Tbh, the Din Djarin head sculpt is disappointing. It's s'posed to be photo real, but ugh ....

I CANNOT believe there is an actual face under that helmet

Outstanding Job. Creating a more athletic one off.

[@suddskys7482]

Just bought this figure. Thanks for your amazing upgrade. Gonna make almost the same.

[@thenotsoamazing111]

I like to customize to so as a fellow customizer a nice tip to use is using a thumbtack or tooth pic for the tinny details such as the eyes and lips,helps me a ton.

[@CenturionsCorner]

Yeah I've done that in the past is a good trick 👌

[@NewtonDKC]

I wonder if a wee bit of foam/sponge glued in the inside back of the helmet would make it more snug and take away the Wobblies but still keep it easily removable? Great ideas and work!!!

[@jonathanhampshire6856]

Could try Games Workshop's green stuff modelling putty. Get the helmet off sand down the head. Bob the green stuff in the helmet, press ot back on the head. Should mould to the sculpt. Then pop off the helmet to let the Green Stuff harden.

[@brodybingham6808]

I had always wanted to try this method on a figure before, but I usually choose good QCed figures or just fix it without water. I finally tried it today with my brand new Neca Jungle Hunter Predator's wrist blades, and the plastic is so thin I just ran them under hot water for 30 seconds and bent them back out. They were bending inwards and are supposed to be spaced apart, so I separated them and now they look great. I am probably going to get this figure and maybe I'll get a good one, but If not the Predator was my trial run. Thanks for the walkthrough of the trick and that custom is amazing!

[@CenturionsCorner]

No worries matey!

[@MarcusEye]

Good job!. I like it!. Subbed to your channel!. Cheers!.

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Your braver than me. I've tried this with two clonies and stopped when I realized it deformed the helmet.😾

[@bobastu]

Great job. I hope the Book Of Boba Fett covers how he escaped the Sarlacc Pit, Legends he's him igniting the remaining fuel in his jetpack. This would account for his advanced aged appearance, scarring, and loss of hair. Prior to the Sarlacc, I would imagine he looked more like Jengo did in Attack of the Clones, a few more scars obviously. It appears you were going for more of a bald and scarred for this version. In the Mandalorian he should be in his early 40s, about the same age as his father in Attack of the Clones. What is your "in story" reasoning for his Mandalorian appearance during Return of the Jedi? You did a great job, I'm just trying to understand. Your face looks tons better than I could do!!!! Great details.

[@CenturionsCorner]

If the sculpt had hair I would of put hair but he was bald, but maybe his always shaved his hair off? 🤔

[@bobastu]

@@CenturionsCorner possibly... in your story... his head is shaved! I like it.

[@CenturionsCorner]

Man with style! Same as me 😉😜

[@LawHasFlow]

Ayee thanks for the tutorial, definitely gonna fix the helmet on mine

[@jamieroseman4429]

Nice paintwork. Just had an idea though. I think it would be possible to upgrade the right hand gauntlet hoses by cutting them off and using a pin vise to install more screen accurate hoses. You could use ignition wire for models or even fishing line.

[@CenturionsCorner]

Yeah that could be done if they snap I will upgrade

[@AaronJediKnight]

Perhaps a way to make the helmet less loose one could make a thin padded coif like the 3.75 ESB version that had a removable helmet.

[@georgemartinez1720]

Great job

[@Reddeadanyone]

I just got this toy and removed the helmet this helped a lot

[@AlecFortescue]

Approve of the effort. you could try some foam to get non abrasive padding, like people do with irl helmets. maybe weatherstrips?

[@jonathanhampshire6856]

Great video with top tips Centurions Corner. Do you use any kind of varnish to protect your paint work?

[@DarthIllusive1]

What a letdown. Hasbro went super cheap. I like the head that they give you with the figure, but seems a waste to not make a removeable helmet for this delux version. Very strange. But, that being said, great work on doing what Hasbro should have done. Awesome job!!

I reckon you will be able too

[@calumryan6328]

I’ve seen it done; you use the same method as here except you’re not trying to get the helmet off, just starting to pry at the bottom of the helmet makes it flare out. You can get it even more flared out than in this video

[@MisterBluewind]

I think the only thing you have to do is just squish it a bit with your thumb kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXaTiadme615qc0

[@bondjames_bond4005]

So the helmet doesn’t shake and so it’s a more snug fit have you thought of adding a little hot glue inside the helmet? Where the back of the head is? Really cool custom btw :)

[@soxfourtyfive7582]

Did you seal the paint, if so what did you use to keep it from rubbing off from the helmet or handling? I like what you did, looks really good

Use MSC to seal. Its awesome stuff.

Nice work! I was really disappointed after getting this toy in the mail. I think the Empire version was much better. They should have just used or retooled that head if they really wanted the range finder to pivot.

[@CenturionsCorner]

Yeah its true although does give way for the book of boba figure hopefully 😉

[@joshuachristian5443]

@@CenturionsCorner I've realized the helmet was deformed from the blister tray pressing on n it. I was so disappointed that I just bit back in the box. Before I did, I pressed the pieces that secure the head out so the helmet had nothing pressing on it. Close to a week later I grabbed the box and noticed the helmet had relaxed back to its correct form. Suddenly I liked the toy and opened it back up.

Looks good, glad to see we can fix the mess Hasbro gave us. Have you thought of using hot glue to tighten the helmet fit?...maybe try some petroleum jelly on his head and a dab of hot glue into the helmet and push the head into it until it dries. Should be able to pop the helmet back off and clean the head and it may give you a better fit going forward.

[@CenturionsCorner]

Not sure 😕but I know even america have to wait to June so not 100% what's going on

[@shinzomoon]

I don't know why hasbro just don't make the helmets removable or more easily removable.. even if they dont paint the head leave us the option to paint it ourselves if we want it.

[@miles8233]

What’s wrong with the figure/helmet? I’m new to black series and I don’t understand what people mean when they talk about “fixing” figures...?

[@CenturionsCorner]

So basically if you look at the figure compare it to the original photo, the helmet is pinched in, this this is due to the packaging so once it comes out its compressed, by heating it up the plastic reshape it'd self to its original mold design, also hasbro have decided rather than making a full moulded helmet they have been making sort of removable helmets that are then glued on a unpainted head underneath, normal collectors won't be able to remove the helmet as its not designed too, however this leads to twisted helmets where the glue has been missed placed and helmets stuck on the unpainted head in a way to make it deformed. Hope that helps

[@bondjames_bond4005]

Hi I just liked and subscribed! I’m really considering doing this to mine, but I’m worried. Do you think the helmet could rip or be permanently wrinkled from the boiling water? Or will it just go back to the original condition? Thanks :)

not sure why people hate this figure? it's consistent with all other black series figures. what do these people expect? maybe they should get mafex, figuarts or hot toys and stop complaining 🤔 or, more likely, they'll complain anyway...

I think generally people may complain as there wasn't any official photos then he comes along all abit warped. But yeah people cancelling there orders will be kicking themselves

[@carlo2384]

@@CenturionsCorner It seems to come down to expectations. But is that the fault of the producer or the consumer? In 1980, what we got for Boba Fett was perfectly reasonable. But today, if the coloring is slightly off, if it doesn't scale quite right, or whatever - you'd think that someone shat in their cornflakes! Even some of these toy reviews sound like soap operas. Anyway, nice video - thanks.
