Binders

[Erice3339[TK]]

Hello,

 

Once again, I have found an eBay lot for another component of my TK build. What does anyone think of this pair of binders?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Yep, those are good.  I own a pair myself.  I'm pretty sure that's what most troopers carry when you see the white ones.  Aside from those who DIY them with PVC, that is.

Excellent, thank you. It seems this is one of the first good finds of my building process at last.

When you receive you 501st approval and start trooping, binders are a great way to get the public involved.  You can put someone "under arrest", which makes for a great photo-op.  You will be surprised at how many people are willing to put them on for a cool pic, but if it is a child, be sure not to point your blaster at them.

Thank you Joseph. I've reviewed the conduct thread on public appearances. I have a long way to go still before I ever make it out the door in costume. Your thoughts on the binders are almost exactly why I am purchasing them.

Two of us TKs in the Squad have a pair of those- they are so much fun!  Not to be worn at canon-troops, but the vast majority of our troops aren't cannon, so not a big deal.  It's also kind of hilarious how inept you can be trying to hold them up to open them and get them onto a potential prisoner because you can't see very well while wearing your helmet.  Another Squad member painted a pair gray and carries them with his Naval Trooper.

Sounds like fun. I am sure it is just as funny to watch.
