[Ripper_L[Admin]]

Can anyone Tell me what Type of armor this is and if the Seller is trustable?

That link won't work for me :s but the consensus here is to stay away from buying armour on eBay.

Article Name is "Stormtrooper Rüstung" by the Seller "frauta2013"

In the description the seller says it's an US armor and it's clearly no FX Recast.

The armor isn't too bad. It should be fairly easy for people knowledgeable about US armors to see who makes this one, as the TD has a backplate with the flat ridges, that isn't needed, the belt river covers are molded with raised ridges and a few other things that are pretty tell tale.

 

It isn't a hero, it's a stunt. the Helmet is the only difference in an unbuild set of armor between hero and stunt and it's down to the number of teeth in the frown, and some other details. This one has holes for the stunt version, which is more than the stunt.

 

 

 

Likely it is a recast of some armor.

If they have to specifically say it is NOT something, then chances are it is.

 

You've done well to find the FISD, there's plenty of excellent sellers here.

Definitely not a Hero faceplate.

 

Looks to include the parts for either TK, or TD (Diamond Sniper plate and "Cheese Grater" are both there), but I have no idea which maker it is. 

 

As has already been mentioned, you're here, so you're a step ahead of the game.  Check out the getting started section of the forums for the vetted armor makers, and good luck!

hero helmets are far more than the faceplate.  they actually are a very different design.  the teeth are not the only differences

the assembly is not enough. you also need lenses, and different ears for a hero.

 

bubble lenses

3 bump ears

wider face, different cap n back.

frown has thinner profile and has no divots for the 4th and 5th teeth.

eye shape different.

looks like a cheap styrene recast of RSProps armor.  STAY AWAY!

Finger weg! Der Verkäufer hat offensichtlich keine Ahnung davon, was er verkauft, wenn er überhaupt was zum Verkaufen hat. Er beschreibt etwas ganz anderes als das, was man auf den Bildern sieht. Im schlimmsten Fall sind das geklaute Bilder.

[gazmosis[501st]]

It is not an RS recast. It is the TE2/CAP/ATA armor lineage with a different cap for the helmet. Whoever it is, it is recasted. Whatever armor that doesn't come from here we have no idea if the armor/seller is reputable or not.

[TK bondservnt[501st]]

I see the divot on the AB plate side button panel, and ATA CAP TE lineage does not have that

feature.

 

it also has the split kidney/butt

 

see the divot? I ATA and TE armor and it does not have this feature.

 

from the look of the details on the AB and the shape of the kidney and the fact that the details are marshmellowed

it sure looks like an RS cast to me?

 

 

what shows the ATA/ TE lineage? because the centerline on the cod is not offset? like the RS?

You don't have to recommend sellers in this Forum to me, I just asked out of interest, why this armor is so incredible cheap. (I already have an armor). But I also guessed, that this is a Recast (because of the low price).

Looks like a CTM (TE2 recast) to me.

If you use google translate is says "without helmet" but it also says that everything in the pictures is included.

What do you guys think? Is the helmet included or not? My german isnt that good...
