Follano ANH Suit



The Original Costume - for reference
It was my brief pleasure to own this Follano ANH (A New Hope) suit for just over a year or so. Without getting into too much detail these suits are cast from a ROTJ (Return of the Jedi) trooper suit and re-tooled to more resemble the ANH version. The helmets are cast directly from an original ANH helmet. This originally was the Hero style (basically cleaner, used for closeups) but I changed it to be more like a Stunt suit (noticeably the brow is raised, the belly detail removed and installed flat green lenses).

The suit was very small compared to the AFX suits, really built for someone around 5'10" and 160-170 lbs. I'm 6' and 190 (on a good day) so it was a tight fit and wasn't as comfortable as the AFX. But man, it was really gorgeous. I haven't lost the bug to get another suit but doubt I'll come across another affordable set of this armor.
