That Boba Fett one is the best, I think.

I don't know whether to like this or hate this. I like it because it's got a cool looking stormtrooper, but I hate it because he's getting his butt kicked by ewoks. Here are more pics: My linkhttp://shop.starwars.com/catalog/product.xml?topcatID=1300264;product_id=1323210

That's great. Do you have a link to the camera on ebay?

I'm in Utah and am about 5 hours drive away from Vegas, but I'll be trooping an elementary fundraiser carnival at that exact same time.

Happy birthday Trooper!

Yeah, but it's pretty easy to take out the lenses and trim the eyes out some more and glue the lenses back in... no big deal.

Looks great!

Paint those AB buttons blue and grey! Really like the bazooka, what's it made of?

I'd travel the world and eat amazing foods!

We call them Spotters in our garrison. The roles differ depending on the event, but you can be expected to help assist troopers getting their armor on and off (limited mobility of the costumes means that they can be difficult to put on unassisted). If it's a meet and greet where the characters are walking around then you'll want to stay with them and help point out to them when they need to walk up and down curbs, or point out electrical cords on the ground so that they don't trip. Sometimes little kids will be trying to talk to a trooper and the trooper is unaware because the kid is standing right in front of them where their helmet blocks their view, plus they may not be able to hear the kid. The handler can get the attention of the trooper and point down and tell them that someone is trying to talk to them. At hot events, you'll need to regularly ask each trooper how they are doing and if they need any water or need to be escorted back to a changing area to take a break. Sometimes large groups of people will gather and want to take their photo with the troopers. A handler keeps an eye on who has been waiting and tries to direct traffic and make sure their isn't chaos but some order to make sure everyone gets a turn. If their are kids who are pestering and/or poking the troopers you can shoo them away or ask them to stop, give them the evil eye etc. Sometimes the public will have questions about the garrison/legion/troopers and the handlers can answer these questions as it is much easier for them to carry on a conversation since they aren't wearing a helmet and can make eye contact and can hear clearly. You can also bring your camera and take candid shots of the event to document it, and then share the pics with the garrison.

Nice work, it's looking great!

Yeesh.... <_< Good to see that humor has progressed in 30 years.

Happy birthday and thanks for all that you've done!

Are they hot glued in, or glued in at all? I'd suggest heating it up with a hair dryer to soften it up, and then take a knife to it.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!

My first thought when I saw that was: "Nice banana-hammock"!

Yes, many people have different makes of helmets and armor. Personally, I wear FX armor with a Master Replicas helmet.

Look here: comprable price, accurate, and way better: (no, I'm not selling this, just pointing out how your money can be better spent.) http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showtopic=12268

Jeremy, you'll want to visit the Central Garrison Website and sign up there, as it is your local garrison. Then you'll know what local events you can take your camera to!

Yeah, that box is off in Safari too, slightly covering the top of the search input box.

If you look carefully you'll see that the helmet color doesn't always match the armor in the movies either.

He also has drop boxes on and the wrong knee plate.... perhaps it's actually a heavy weapons trooper!

I agree that the frown especially is a bit wonky, but the pose of the body is so dead on, that I could over look the helmet flaws. Looks very cool.

I don't really understand the allure of these. Their design is obviously heavily Asian in style, and they're cute but.... meh. When I buy stormtrooper toys I go for the ones that look the most realistic and life like. Guess they just aren't my cup of tea.

"and the reason I wear a bucket.." Ha, the same reason we all wear a bucket! Looks great though!
