Polar Posted November 24, 2014 Report Posted November 24, 2014 I am, help me out, Ive done a little searching not much but I will need blaster. Is the doopy doo's a kit you add onto a previously purchased blaster or what? Quote
Dougal[501st] Posted November 24, 2014 Report Posted November 24, 2014 There are two types. A kit all on its own and a hasbro upgrade kit. The second kit would need a toy e-11 made from Hasbro. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

Dark PWF[Staff] Posted November 24, 2014 Report Posted November 24, 2014 Check out some of the build threads, Brian.Here is a Hasbro Conversion done by Gmrhodes13: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/20496-hasbro-e-11-conversion/ You can link to my own DoopyDoos build using the link in my signature. Each of those build types requires a unique bit of work to be done, depending on how much you want to customize them. There are a lot of other great examples of both of these types of builds that do not have as much customization as these two do. Quote
Polar Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Posted November 24, 2014 what am I looking at price wise for this? I need a blaster! Quote
Dougal[501st] Posted November 24, 2014 Report Posted November 24, 2014 Well, just like Tim said there are many ways of doing these kits. It is ready to build right out of the box. With that said, you will need a number of different tools to help the process along. Especially a dremel. The kit itself is around $100. www.doopydoos.com. Trooperbay also sells the same kit. I also have to agree with Tim with the fact of using other threads as reference material. Invaluable information!! Plus just awesome reading material!!! Good luck bud!

Nagedzi[TK] Posted November 24, 2014 Report Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) This is a quick way to see how they compare and contrast. Top to bottom: Doopydoos resin kit, Doopydoos Hasbro conversion and raw Rubies blaster. The resin kit is pretty accurate and made even more so with a little bit of work.

Polar Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Posted November 24, 2014 is the Rubies frowned upon much like the armor? Quote
Nagedzi[TK] Posted November 24, 2014 Report Posted November 24, 2014 Surprisingly, Rubies did alright with this. As you can see, it's little smaller than a full-size E-11, but with a little work (fill, sand and paint), it can be troopable. While it is not on the same plane of accuracy as the resin blasters, I believe it's acceptable for a cheap trooping blaster. Out of the box, it is more accurate than a plain hasbro, of course. Even with the conversion on the hasbro, the profile of the Rubies looks more like a real E-11. The top T-track has an ugly curve, but that can be fixed with some work. Certainly worth $13 anyway....

usaeatt2 Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 "The maker of things" ?? I would have said the same thing, but I've actually seen posts about this guy on the RPF. Yep, "the maker of things". Quote
Polar Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Posted January 5, 2015 he does not so good recasts of pretty much everything 1 Quote
I'm Batman[501st] Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) He's the guy selling FX armor as 501st armor. Hope his blaster is better than his armor. Edit - can't find the link, so better change my statement to "Is he the guy....." Edited January 5, 2015 by Sith Lord Quote

I'm Batman[501st] Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 Is the blaster 'his' blaster, or a recast of something else? Links or pics? Quote
