Before I vote, I'd appreciate clarification. This statement:
Seems to me to be at odds with this statement:
I recently noted from the reference shared over here posted by Heritage Auctions:
...that not all blasters used on screen for FOTKs had a movable front handle, and many did not have lights. This (and many other) blasters were made by production for use on screen and did not have these features, so I am of the strong opinion that they should be optional and not required at any level. This isn't a Mr. No Stripes situation where a one-off escaped scrutiny - these were intentionally made and used without moving handles.
So... can I submit a blaster with a fixed handle for L3 approval and CRL amendment using the clear reference above?
Or if we're still going to claim only Hero blasters have validity in CRL consideration, what's the point of this proposal?
CRLs should not be about having 'the bells and whistles that make [costumes] stand out", but rather accuracy to what was used on screen, tempered with consideration for what is practical for trooping, and achievable with the resources and materials currently available.
