The 2018 What OT armor are you wearing poll
BTJepson replied to Daetrin's topic in Hard Armor (General Discussion)
I’m still rockin’ the SDS I bought in 2005. Long before we had the choices we do now and before we got to the bottom of AA’s deception. Sold the battle spec helmet and wear an RS helmet. Also, there’s an ANOVOS trimmed in a box waiting to be put together. -
True, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't or can't talk/complain about this thing that we love so dearly.

Star Wars Celebration Europe 2016 IPM Insider

Those TK's are falling apart! Someone from the UKG needs to be allowed up there to piece those splitting seams back together. I'm loving the Death Troopers and Shore Troopers. Nice to see the E-11 back again along with lots of cool new boasters. -
These new TK costumes remind me of how, with each new superhero movie, they have to change the costume just because they can. Spiderman has a different suit in each movie, Batman and Superman are the same. Heck, even the new Star Trek movies have subtly different costumes in each one. Why? They have huge budgets and a costume designer that wants to show off a little.<br><br> Having said that, I have no problem with making the new TK armor look more 'real' or 'functional.' Make the ab buttons look like they do something, rather than just having the vac formed bumps with a bit of Te

I'm just not sure about those detached codpieces...amongst other things. Hmmm...

I found a tiny red spot just like yours in my front ab piece. Tiny, but it seems to be embedded in the plastic. Most likely dust from some other plastic project when the ABS was made.

Separating e6000 glued abs?
BTJepson replied to Millar007's topic in Hard Armor (General Discussion)
When I reglued my thigh pieces, I worked a dull, flat edged putty knife under the pieces and slowly pried them apart. They came apart pretty easily with no damage, then I cleaned off the E6000 by pulling it up like dried rubber cement. -
Named for the TK that was supposed to be at his post and the year of my birth, 1970.

Yup, it's ANOVOS armor.

They shipped tons of Trek stuff. So there's that.

Nah, looks like too much is going on. Too many add-ons and greeblies, too busy. Plus, the shoulder and bicep armor is too reminiscent of Robocop for me. I love the leaked helmet photos though. We'll see.

If this is real: I LOVE it! That looks so dang cool. I'm not much for change, but this looks so cool. I hope this is right, but at the same time, why would stormtroopers evolve after the fall of the Empire?

I bought one yesterday! The sculpt is almost spot on, and the helmet looks great. Finally, someone is doing some TK sculpts that look right. Plus, it says a ton of TK quotes directly from the original source audio it seems. Even the E-11 is dead on. This gives me hope that Disney has got the right idea and attention to detail that has been lacking in some stormtrooper toys from the past.
