Hi everyone,

https://propstoreauction.com/lot-details/index/catalog/361/lot/107333?url=%2Fauctions%2Fcatalog%2Fid%2F361%3Fpage%3D1%26view%3Dgrid%26catm%3Dany%26order%3Dorder_num%26xclosed%3Dyes%26featured%3Dno%26lotnum%3D796

Two contact sheets of Boba Fett from the production of Irvin Kershner's Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) produced contact sheets to help maintain continuity with the bounty hunter's elaborate body armor.

Each of these sheets features 30 hand-numbered black-and-white stills of Boba Fett designer Joe Johnston dressing VFX artist Bruce Nicholson in Fett's costume, several of which have never been published. The sheets are also hand-numbered "SWER50037 - SWER50072" and "SWER50073 - SWER50108," respectively. Both exhibit warping, creased corners, and liquid stains from production. Dimensions (each): 11" x 14" (28 cm x 35.75 cm)

I feel like if you do that I'll somehow fund it with an upgrade that I didn't know I needed until you made it and I had to have it. Oh well, look forward to hi-res pics!

I’m sure I can do some sort of sale to raise the funds!

Going to pass on these folks, they doubled the starting price from 750 to 1.5k.

Very underhanded imo to raise the starting price during the auction The starting bid should stand once the item is listed.

Hopefully, these will still be accessible to the Fett community rather than in some random fans private collection 😩

 

[boba87fett]

They were won by someone in the Fett community. I’m sure he will post about it sooner than later!!

 

[Jurassic_Fett]

Wonderful news!

I wish they could just compile everything Fett related that’s in the archives and have a place where everything could be accessed by members in the community! But most of all I wish they wouldn’t have repurposed the dang ESB suit.. there were so many other pieces they could have repurposed 😫
