JAFO

So far only one that I know of out multiple purchasers. In terms of shipping, it was $52 from CA to MN. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

And as excitement around delivery continues, here are a few pics to savour. Some good looking pulls. Talk of resin boxes too. Heavy but screen accurate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Agreed. I’m looking forward to Michael Bender’s insight too [emoji1303] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

It’ll be great to see Stacie’s build. As an Alpha builder she’ll have great insight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Jim hasn’t mentioned anything about his wife’s kit yet but it will all be rebelled in time. At this stage the Anovos worldwide tally is 1 x FOTK kit and 2 x FOTK Pauldrons received. Here’s hoping for more soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

It’s not my armour. It’s a picture from another group. Until we ACTUALLY see the armour these pics should be considered speculative [emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

So...it appears at least one person has received their kit before Celebration. But it’s not all good news.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

The two have to be viewed entirely separately. The BS figure will just be a TFA repackage but will be interesting to see if the double shin boxes have been added (they appear to be), and whether the TD is different. You’ll also notice differences in the Boots cover, and in the F-11D. Given the costume won’t be approvable - for now - I would simply go with the version you prefer. For me, that would be the gold version of the BS / real world TFA Trooper. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Whilst this artwork refers to the animated character it would seem logical the BS would follow suit in relative design and colour distribution. You can see what is black, grey and gold. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

You’ll actually need a lot of grey as well. The biceps, ab, belt boxes and handplates are all grey. So is the Pauldron. Something in the range of Basalt is a good colour choice, and one I’ve been testing. You’d also need to add another set of boxes to your right shins as Pyre appears to have them in both. ATG gloves from Imperial Boots would be the go. In addition they can make their FO boots in black. They’re making me a test pair. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Definitely on the cards Dustin. Both TFA and TLJ need a review. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Certainly all true based on a TFA Riot Baton but the Black Series was marketed as a TLJ Riot Baton. Given there are no images to verify any changes it is somewhat in a grey area. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

As in not accurate for your costume because of the silver bands?

Congratulations! Welcome to the First Order [emoji1303] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

It’s a black and grey Pauldron to match the grey biceps and handplates. There was actually more grey than I expected!

I was speaking to a contact who works at Pinewood. Neither Pyre or the Mountain Trooper went through their workshop. Neither will be seen in TrIXie. In fact, the team hated the Phasma chroming process so much they wouldn't touch another character like it! Rest assured, there is plenty of exciting new FO stuff awaiting us all

That would be quite a feat for obvious reasons

Such a misguided marketing piece. Can’t believe they degraded the Alpha kits as “large and clunky”. Given their access to scans I’m perplexed that so much is still so inaccurate.

After the Shore and Tank troopers, then the Range and Patrol troopers it was inevitable that the First Order would get their own iteration. I’m more interested to see the #RedFury. Bring it on! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

That’s good. There is a lot of interest in the FO Mountain Trooper from GE Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

100% but it’s good to see them investing in the character beyond SW:R. If Pyre is to feature at SW:GE as part of the #RedFury story it will be fascinating to see which kit they run with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

It will certainly be interesting to see how they bring Pyre to life at SW:GE. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Great to see Pyre has now been imagined as a regular FO by Black Series. Some noticeable changes but the bucket is standard TFA.

I’d like to think Pyre would sit happily in the FISD family. With the release of the BS figure we see Pyre inmagibed as a standard FO, albeit with some noticeable changes. There’s also suggestion that Pyre will be a regular character at GE so will become more popular.
