Episode 9 Stormtrooper research (Caution Spoilers Ahead)

Recommended Posts

Jet trooper is much better in red, maybe when I get done with the First Order Mountain Trooper gonna wait till after movie to pursue next costume, but in all honesty I should take a step back from all this costume building to focus on around the house projects.

 

I do have a feeling though Mountain Trooper is gonna consume most of my energy writing the CRL than making my case only to get fully rejected. But hey I'm set up for the worse lol, worse being I have a fun unique costume for Celebration

The knights of Ren, very reminiscent of the Seven Samurai. 

Be nice to see them have a good bit of screen time.

Hadn’t seen this ‘Pop’ before I saw it in-store today. Guess it confirms what we had heard about Jet Troopers launching from Tread Speeders.

Yeah I'm not seeing any real changes that warrant a new FOTK CRL for 9 . I was hoping to find at least one little thing, maybe I still will lol


None whatsoever. As I’ve said for months they simply cleaned up and reused the TLJ kits.

The elbow mobility cut may have become standard from what I see. 

That seems odd, it's not on any screen used TK. Only shown on the Disney ride and those are anovos kits that aren't going to people that paid for them when TFA came out

It's a different mobility cut. The Anovos cut, is extreme and based on a Finn's armor. The mobility cut for the ROS stormtroopers (and TLJ troopers too as I realized afterwards) is not as important but still differs to the original TFA troopers.

It is seen on screen - on the Executioner! Sadly Anovos has over accentuated it.

Other than this example all standard TROS First Order troopers are per TLJ.

I must say there does seem to be an awesome array of weaponry coming in this movie, I'm definitely excited.

I agree!

I recall when I first mentioned the array of ‘mean looking new weapons’ back in a post in March.

I also recall getting caned by certain members for being fake news

Don't be mistaken, these forearms aren't cut. They've been expanded by adding a vertical stripe along the seam where the outer and inner halves of the forearm meet.

 

As for the TROS blasters, I don't see what you guys are liking in them. They all look like junk to me, with all these oversized barrels.

Hopefully you'll be able to see them being used and not on the cutting room floor lol

Sorry to keep coming back to this topic but, I wanted to check and the executioners definitely do have the mobility cut to their forearms too. In fact if pay attention to all the troopers in the background it quite obvious that this cut has become standard for TLJ, and then TROS.

But what's nice , is that once you know it's there you can even guess the expanding stripe along the back seam:

So here's an interesting piece of trivia if you're doing an executioner and care about deepest accuracy: mobility cut at the front, and expanding stripe at the back.

 

Also here's some more troopers with the mobility cut. I don't know if it is already, but I think this might be something worth mentioning in the TLJ/TROS CRLs. Or at least for the higher levels of accuracy.
