They aren't boba fetts. They're just Mandalorains.

Also, they don't nerdgasm around other female mandalorians (like me).

hmm....did they buy Boba Fett costumes and say they are Mandalorian warriors? or did they make the costumes themselves? because they look a lot like Boba to me......

Boba Fett is a mandalaorin so their armor will look alike. I havn't followed these two progress in making their armor but looking at shape of Sphinx's bicep piece, tigh piece, and shoulder pad, I'd say they've made their own parts to it. (considering that Boba does NOT have tigh or bicep armor...)

I can totally tell that the helmets were repaints as the dent is part of boba's features. Most of us, if buying a boba heltmet, fill in this dent to either make it smooth or add our own dent in another spot. Since the helmet is very hard to make compared to the rest of the armor it is VERY common for a merc costumer to just buy a boba or jango helmet and add/paint your own customization. (jango being the best because of it's smooth and clean... a new plate to work on). Things like chest pieces and cods are easy to make out of sintra or metel. (except for females. We have extremely hard times shaping the chest piece.... to fit)

Also, Boba, if your remember, is green with yellow shoulders and red face. Blue jetpack, light blue/gray suit, white vest, and has no symbols on his chest, only on his right shoulder piece. This photo is taken in almost true colour, they are both gray (I lol because my armor is also gray, and we're the only three mandalorians currently in NYC soo.. it's like... city colour... well... it's funny to me..) Here's another picture of sphinx. As you can see compared to the back ground he is in fact all gray with black suit.

Also a GOOD boba fett costume, ready to wear and go, cost about 2000 dollars. It is much more considerably cheaper to just make one own suit, and even more to make a custom mandalorian because you don't have to slave away at all the little details that make boba.. boba (like the correct seqence of symbols that flash on boba's chest piece or the number of pockets on your belt or the correct shade of green... yes.. .I have seen long forum threads and what brands and shade is the correct color for a boba costume D: )

You also have to consider other cannon star wars characters who are mandalorian but NOT boba
On the RIGHT of this picture you can see a costume of Jodo Kast. Even thought their colours are VERY similar people easily tell them apart because Jodo has orange lining to his armor, unlike the red to boba's

(jodo is from two star wars comics, a video game, and mentioned a few times in other books and comics)

Here we have Fenn Shysa, also from a few comics (quite a hand full of them!)

He has white paint on his cheeks and a design painted above his eyes.

Star wars connon (books and comics) has made the green and red combonation a common colour pattern for mandalorians. But custom mandalorian costumers tend to stray far away from those colours (in fact, white and black are the most popular armor colours!)

wow you are very knowledgeable ^^

thats cool. ill keep those things in mind for when/if i make a mandalorian costume. i must admit, im a disgrace when it comes to true SW fans because iv never read any of the extra books or comics mostly because i was only introduced to it and really got into it less than a year ago, but i hope to read all the extras and backgrounds eventually, and you know, cosplay ^^ but yeah wow thats really cool that you know so much!!! rock on
