"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 Sandy Dhuyvetter painted the PP2 helmet.
The original prop was stolen and is in a private collection.
