Fascinating - this is maybe something new then that I wasn't aware - as I don't remember this being the case initially. I hope you don't mind me reaching out to Lesley to confirm? We have an excellent relationship with the LMBO and our designs usually sail through - I'd like not to jeopardize this.
Of course, but I would like to be part of the conversation, so if there is any confusion, it would be clarified it at the moment.

Got it. Now I remember. The reason we have to do it on a limited or season run is branding. The actual FISD logo is the OT TK and that has to always be presented as our official patch that is always available. Doing an FOTK alternate has to be clear that it's a special, or different in some way as to avoid confusion, hence the changes we asked.
The equivalent is if you came up with a Legion patch that was 100% the same but with an FOTK and started selling that & people started wearing that. Even though the Legion logo is of a funky ROTJ trooper which is one of the rarest of TKs, the logo is what it is and there needs to be a clear indicator that the FOTK version is an alternate and not "official".
I'm going off of memory, but IIRC on the design submitted we had such a thing, and thus no reason to limit the run.
Actually No, it all comes down to the unit leader’s decision, Being a CO and a Merchandising and Branding officer I have spoken with both Lesley and Scott about this. The Only logo that cannot be changed or have a variation is the main 501st Legion Logo, every other logo can have an official Variation. Multiple Garrisons and Detachments have made variations of their logos and all are officially Recognized. Sith Lords Detachment recently (less than 2 years) have made all of their approved characters logos variations official, Pathfinders also. The main logo stands, but members are free to choose which one they’ll use. At the end of the day the important thing is the name of the unit being represented.

Sorry - please remind me where the limited to 200 comes from?
You stated that when I came up with the proposal.

Thanks Glen. A lot of that is from years ago, on other DLs.
Build threads being private
>> I've made them all public.
FOTK FISD patch
>> The issue with the FOTK helmet on the patch was only pushed due to the helmet not looking right. Did we ever get that full fixed? It would be easy to get that finalized & done.
Time it took to get TFA L2 and L3 added to the CRL's.
>> Once I got pictures I cranked them out in record time
Phasma
>> See above. I got the Legion's Phasmas involved to add that in. TLJ is just waiting on photos (not much I can do there)
Little build/reference info on FISD for Phasma, most being shared on FB.
>> That's on those members. I've created the space, we're asking people to put that stuff here. They just need to do it.
I can understand the unhappiness a few years ago (I was unhappy to), but I've done by best to fix all that. What else can be changed to help those FO TKs return?
Paul, the helmet was fixed, but I think it shouldn’t be limited to 200, all should have access to the patch, and as Harbinger said we can make every FISD costume variation, TKC, Femtrooper, etc

I have been working on and off on a version of the FISD logo with a FOTK, we could do a merch run with that at some point?
I have a version Ready, but never got final approval. PM incoming.

I'm considering this for my TM TK I'm currently building. I know it's not screen accurate but I want this to last for years nor the duration of a movie shoot. Sounds like reinforcing the holes with the glued in abs tab will prevent cracks from the stress on the holes.
Yes it will, also replied to your PM, don't hesistate to ask questions!

Welcome Brother! Also been following you on the Facebook group. I plan to follow your footsteps.

Well, kinda. They do give us a bit more insight to the backpack itself but as we've seen with the toys they haven't been quite accurate. Until we get some close ups or behind the scenes shots it's anyone's guess.
better than nothing

also, the guy on Jakku when they are chasing Rey and Finn that has a snowtrooper backpack

here are the pictures:
Hope they help!

I think you are up to something Tony... I'll be home in a few minutes so I'll take those pictures of the figure

I have the Hot Toys version, so I can take some pictures from the backpack (I know its not entirely accurate, but it helps). In the figure the backpack attaches via magnets. A friend of mine and I came to the conclusion that the "logical" way to attach it is in the grooves the back has

You forgot the Baton trooper, which until better pictures surface, I believe he has no arm gaskets, and no boxes on the forearms

All the pics look great. I'm anxious to finally get a proper blaster.
Me too brother... The survivors from the other F-11 mess, hahaha

I did this to my TM, because after a few troops it cracked, and I did glue them to the armor

Hey Tim maybe we can make something TFA related over here in the Detachment, after all we are responsible for the CRL

Yup, I remember that the first draft was not approved because it looked too much like the Anovos Helmet.
