Rule no. 1 as far as I am concerned: AVOID EBAY/Other such sites.

Rule no. 2: If it says '501st approved' it is BS. Even if it is assembled and IS currently approved that approval won't carry onto you.

 

Also even if it is approved and they are selling it, it could be 10 years old and approved by the standards from the, meaning possible more work to get approved than a kit would take. Therefore: avoid this one. :P

Spectre is spot-on.

 

From the picture, that may very well BE an approved kit-

BUT

It is not the suit that gets approved, it is the suit on the wearer/owner.

 

 

This is because the suit must properly fit the wearer for the costume to be approved.

For a really good example.

Me and Spectre both have approved suits.

He's quite a big boy (over 6' and solidly built)

I'm a 5'10 stick

If we swapped suits

His would look hilarious on me

And mine would probably choke him to death if he managed to get into it in the first place

 

That's why you have to get approval, even for an already 501st suit (also standards get raised)

 

"You can buy a suit, but you can't buy approval."
