Kit Gutierrez[TK] Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) Hi! I'm Kit, TK44840 of the Philippine Garrison. Just wanna share photos of my First Order Judicial (FOJ? FOE?) / Executioner Stormtrooper (ETK? TKE? TE?) from the recently concluded Asia Pop ComiCon here in the Philippines...and Force Friday 2 here in Manila, Philippines. It's a Jimmiroquai TLJ FOTK set. Here are the parts we identified that changed: -FOTK bucket TLJ version -black shoulder bells with First Order emblem -back with black yoke -thermal det with solid black extrusion -overlap in inner biceps I say that the work Jim has put into the new TLJ FOTK is pretty spot on. Hoping this would help others who are building this particular character. Edited September 11, 2017 by kitgutierrez changed the uploaded photos to linked photos 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAFO[TK] Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 As I've said on Facebook Kit...this must be a world first! You should be proud. I've shared your excellent work with a few here on FISD.Definitely switch out your white FO emblem for a grey as an upgrade. What size did you run with ... current thinking is 2.25"Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the pics don't do the colour justice.We've been doing a lot of comparison work on sizing. It's far from straightforward!

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) Great work, you may just want to add a little more matt black paint to the helmet, in the right trapezoid area http://youbentmywookie.com/wookie/gallery/0717_hottoys_starwarslastjedi_exocutioner/Hot%20Toys%20-%20SWTLJ%20-%20Executioner%20Trooper%20Collectible%20Figure_PR14.jpg Edited March 13, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyops[TK] Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 So cool! I recently cancelled my TFA kit from Anovos and ordered the TLJ kit from Jim. I also started following your (or one of your) FB pages. I don't think I'll do an executioner as I want to see first the different types of troopers in TLJ. Just curious in you can further cut into those tube stripes/vents. I'm thinking of putting the fans there. In general, is it possible to cut holes in the helmet for more air flow? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the marketing materials and toys that came out, looks like the executioner and the praetorian are the only new "troopers" for ep8. If its a TLJ set you got from jim, you can either go for normal stormtrooper or executioner. yes you may cut the the hexagonal vents in the frown and just leave the teeth. You may then replace it with a black painted hexagonal mesh screen and black cloth. This will allow better air and sound flow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Gutierrez[TK] Posted September 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 So i remembered i had a photo with the executioner standee during Force Friday. To determine the size of the First Order emblem in the shoulder bells, I did a perspective crop from top of bucket to heel. Resized image to 72" or 6ft (the official average height of stormtroopers) then measured the emblem. Its 2.5" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyops[TK] Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Thanks, pare, for the reply! Most likely I'll go with a normal trooper. I'm going to check the boards how others did their helmets and find out where to get that mesh. I also bought myself a nerf pistol which I plan to repaint and hopefully place on the holster (if they would fit), so for photo ops, I can hand those to the kids.

Great choice of kit You can definitely cut the vents on both sides. It's worth doing!
