"Pre-Pro #2" Boba Fett

Mid 1978

"Pre-Pro #2" (PP2) Boba Fett (Mid 1978)

This armor was later used for "The Empire Strikes Back" and a Kenner photo shoot, which is why the vintage action figure has red and yellow gauntlets.

It's believed that Mario Maala painted the PP2 helmet/armor and Sandy Dhuyvetter worked on the costume.

The original prop helmet was stolen in the 90's and passed through the hands of private collectors. In 2016, it was photographed in the collection of Emmy-winning "Veep" writer David Mandel.
