  1. So I want to address the blaster issue again as I have held the actual blasters and saw variations. So since we do want to set standards I want to make sure we are not limiting or forcing people to change things that are unnecessary. While this is my approval thread, I want to keep this a public discussion vs a private one. With regards to the blaster and we have had this discussion before and I am going to out the references to support this. We shouldn’t be making differences on curtain costumes just to force changes and expenses on members. These are The Rise if Skywalker samples. Therefore, I not only ask for Grace all the way to the centurion level with this as I am exceptionally happy with my blaster but also to show that there are possibilities available to keep other members happy. I believe in the highest standards possible and have been an avid supporter of strict standards, but they have to come with some reason as well as purpose. Not just for the sake of making things different for the sake of making it different. here we go General pride grabs the trooper blaster to kill Hux. White ring base and not square but rounded shaped ring and round rear sight Troopers handling chewy Silver ring base and black more squares shaped ring also not round but angled rear sight Same troopers handling chewy wirh angled rear sight and silver ring base and black ring with charging handle Another angle of the above Another angle of the same group to show ring, charging handle and no picatinny rail Angle of troopers engaging on Kajimi and silver back ring holder and no ring while trooper on left has silver and black set up Same troopers just different angle famous TROS scene with blasters displaying different aspects. Black small ring with silver ring base on left and charging handle on the right same troopers with charging handles clearly visible Troopers with Hux showing his with picatinny rail and the other without So this is just a set to display my point. Also for what it is worth, I wore this costume, not in these scenes for something else. I saw the blasters and held one and mine is modeled after what I wore. With regards to the future of what FISD is going to require. Armor Differences are one thing, complete blaster differences and specifics are one thing. But when it is on the show and it is displayed and it is clearly visible then we must allow these. They are not anomalies but rather actual existing pieces. So not only am I asking grace on this for my blaster, but I’m suggesting that on some things there may have to be tolerances. Such as rings and ring caps or for example E-11 blasters with coils or without etc etc etc. at some point of these considerations are possible when they are not only supported but also actually within the actual world of the movie, then even I will stop submitting for approvals and be discouraged from Advancing builds. This particular blaster is a perfect example. Or for that matter Rogue One armor and the mass variations in those E-11 blasters as I held many many many of those

  3. Thank you everyone for the amazing compliments and thank you Chemi once again for everything. Appreciate it very much
  4. You can see variants all over the place here including the two TK’s in the corridor have charging levers. Also you see the silver ring holder with the white ring as well as black ring. The blasters I saw most had silver ring holders. The rubber ones that you can detect from the front site had white ring holders. My honest opinion regarding this is that you will see so so so many of them in TLJ without picatinny rails as well as stunr vs hero variants and all their options such as the thermal detonators that is mmmmmmm it is not worth upsetting so many FISD members. I think on the armor I understand. As well as what is available to each particular trooper such as axe for Executioner and riot baton and shield for others. But I just want to be honest and say it here because you guys may not hear it directly. Coming from someone that is as ocd as me, it might be a word of caution. Even if it goes against what I do and strive to do. It will upset a lot of people when you see variants and it will come across as FISD being unreasonable. Most already think that FISD nit picks just to nit pick as opposed to keep up a standard. And to hold someone back because of a minor issue on a blaster is going to not only discourage people from advancing in FISD but also hold resentment towards FISD in general. I believe and follow the strict standards and do stuff that is not even listed or even required and there are things in my builds that even you guys don’t see. But to go over d ring variants and fixate on one being acceptable snd the other not and forcing someone to rip off a charging handle or replace a ring, even I have to say makes me Just want to walk away from it and reject advancement. On the armor absolutely. On the blaster absolutely. But to disregard its variants. Well it seems like making things way too excessively hard almost out of spite. I’m just voicing what I hear in much larger numbers than you may not be aware of. again let me see I am proud of my centurion awards and can not thank everyone enough for the unbelievable standards you’ve helped me achieve. But reason and reasonable minds need to prevail. We need to keep what makes us so flawless but at some point we are saying to people whet is Star Wars and what you see and Validate doesn’t matter. Perhaps a range with some particular features. For example forearms, or thermal detonators or blasters. sorry for the long message but I think it needs to be brought to everyone’s attention.
  5. Im Going to update the above photos so that the reference is correct for people when they see the thread. Some may not see the rest of the thread and it could mislead them. regarding the end cap I am going to make multiple cap variations for this so that all are visible. But I held a black one and saw those and regardless of it being a smokily or not it is my preference. All ring plates I saw were Silver. Some missing rings.
  6. Also correct that is an error. It is an Anovos Premiere fiberglass helmet that has been heavily modified. Chin was cut, clips are replaced with TLJ clips, noseplate is replaced with TLJ noseplate, now teeth have been custim cut out from a trace of the executioner helmet. The new TLJ helmet will be arriving shortly and I will upload that to photos as well.
  7. I have no clue. I had a plate that was made and no clue where the teeth came from. Anyway it is corrected now on this helmet and there will be a new helmet arriving which I’ll include
  8. wow hello. You’re absolutely right and thanks for the catch. I’ll be making the correction on the helmet. I don’t know how that escaped me wow wow wow. It might be a bit. As for the blaster that’s a different story lol as we had this discussion before on the previous approval. I’ll see about painting it white but the actual one I held had a black d ring. Quite a few of them had black or missing D rings. So I’d be inclined to remove it all in all. Since it’s an optional accessory I’m not going to be inclined to change mine and if I did I’d be changing it back as I like this look. I’ll have to think about it and I may just make an extra end cap tab with the all white just to appease this approval. We will see hahaha. Just being honest as I’d like to go with exactly what I hekd

  10. Yea that’s excellent and you have to look very carefully but you do catch a fraction of a second on screen as well
  11. Ok helmet photos updated. Definitely will reshoot the main photos for next round. If I get a chance. Grace will be requested on this. And maybe next especially since the helmet is updated. Thank you Glen for catching that.
  12. so I made a mistake and didn’t realize which section you were referring to. And I looked everywhere for it and not using hot toys or other references. So you are correct. It didn’t make sense to me at first. Like why would they do that. Anyway I went in for the only actual reference I could find which is a close up of the actual screen shot and it is visible. Wow Thank you for pointing that out. I’ll be uploading the correct images of rhe helmet when I get a minute
  13. I think the previous might be incorrect and this actually may be correct. I’ve gone through it frame by frame in high resolution and it seems to be this. Hot toys I think may be incorrect as they are with quite a few things
