bluehickey

This view from the back really shows the battery compartment as well as the lines for the speaker. As good a deal as this is, these two features alone will probably keep me from purchasing it for trooping purposes. -----------

I used to play a Japanese video game with my friend. One of the characters would yell out something that sounded like "boo-hickey". I liked it and tried to make it my username at a website and it was already taken so I thought "what sounds like boo.... blue!" Thus Bluehickey was born and amazingly enough, it's always available at any site I sign up at!

Well done!

Did you also notice the new type of fabric on the undersuit in the above pic?

I'll be interested to know if they keep their form while trooping. I have just regular foam padding in my helmet. As I troop and get hotter the padding compresses and my helmet shifts down on my face a bit which is annoying.

Love it!!!

Wow! Wish I could have been a part of that!

I agree, the voice sounded really good.

Awesome.

Thank you for posting that!

This is the reason I don't do school carnival's anymore. When kids are unsupervised they act up. The gang mentality kicks in and they do things they wouldn't do if they were with their parents or if they were alone.

I was at a high school dance, we had a backdrop and were taking photos with all of the students. The kids would come up in groups and do silly poses with us. On girl couldn't think of how to pose. She was looking at me, so I said, "here try this pose". I grabbed her by her shoulders and turned her around so that she was facing the camera. She then turned around quickly at looked at me in horror, she was holding her hand over her breast and had a mad expression and said "hey!" Apparently because I couldn't see out of my helmet well, one of my hands grabbed her breast instead of her shoulder! I apologized and said that I didn't mean to, it's just hard to see out of the helmet. She quickly forgave me. That explained why one of her shoulders was all squishy and felt like it was missing bones. It actually grossed me out at the time. Plus I was wearing gloves anyways so I could barely feel what was going on anyhow. Needless to say, I was very embarrassed and was so glad she couldn't see who I really was under the helmet!

Edmund, I quickly put together some images so you can compare an accurate TFA helmet vs. the eBay inaccurate helmet (in green).

Gorgeous!

I just need to point out how needless this conversation is... yes, we see the differences in the armor, but do you honestly think the average Joe will notice any difference whatsoever? The things we are discussing are so minor, even microscopic that there is really no need to panic or worry.
