IMO people in staff positions have a duty to remain neutral among vendors. I am all for letting people post all the evidence they want as long as they aren't breaking forum rules. If staff members show a preference, I don't think that's fair to vendors.

They are limited by the 501st charter. Article IX says: The Legion does not endorse or manage the creation or sale of props, costumes, or costume parts or materials by anyone for sale to others. The Legion will not intervene in private sales or transactions of non-Legion merchandise or products. Legion rules do not extend to any disputes related to these matters. If you think the Legion should be able to do something about this, submit a proposal.

If a buyer doesn't know, care, or understand what recasting is they will support sellers who recast. As a group we care, the general public might not. I saw someone comment that we are all copying from Lucasfilm/Disney anyways. And if nobody buys, then nobody would recast. Buyers have different priorities. If all somebody wants is to get approved and troop, and a recaster is the cheapest path for that, I can't blame the buyer.

Why the buyers?

In this case FX is screen and prop accurate. I would think it would have to be allowed.

So I guess this means that whatever you guys were using for your armor at the time is now the standard for the Mandalore version

I wasn't even in the 501st in 2018.

Wouldn't it be easier to upscale for us taller folks?
