Int: Kc Style Boot For Kashyyyk trooper

[Heatshock]

theres an interesting topic over on TDH.

theres a guy who lives close to caboots - and he has made direct contact with the folks over there

 

topic here: http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31240

 

I know army scout tried the same route back in 2006. but this time the initial respones has been.... hopeful to say the least. heres the response he got:

 

Ok folks I made contact with one of their reps today, she stated that she believes it would be possible and not a major hassle to put them together. There would of course be some minor differences due to copyright, but nothing that would detract from the majority of the boot components.

 

bare in mind - this is mostly for the Jango Fett costume, but the base boot is the same.

in an effort to drum up numbers, I have said I would post on his behalf on clone forums.

 

this is to gauge interest so we can get a quote from caboots - no agreements on run on availability have been made yet!

 

pls post here - and I will liase with Gee2 on TDH hopefully.

This would be an additional option to get the boot in coyote/tan color, right?

 

Sounds good... I'm worried because I need a large boot size. They do not usually carry a 13/14... and I had to return boots I ordered from them. That, and quality of materials.

thanks for response guys.

 

well at the moment - the guy is only negotiating for the black sole as he is coming in from the Jango side of things.

options will be made available if numbers are good.

 

when the TDHer went to see the caboots rep - he had figures in the 50-70 range. we were hoping that numbers could double if clones were involved; but so far response has been rather muted

 

size will also be an issue Frank - the last guy to go a attempt at a run needed at least 10 size 13-14's before his maker would comtemplate making those sizes. will get back to u on that one once we can get a better estimate on numbers.
