plushie[TK] Posted January 17, 2016 Report Posted January 17, 2016 Some of it looks... off to me, could just be how the armor is all positioned for the photo. No clear identification on who the maker is. There are so terribly few makers for the First Order at the moment. The helmet definitely doesn't look right on the sides, the trapezoids... The vents are facing up rather than out. The helmet is definitely not screen accurate. For all things First Order, I'd recommend starting with this thread that Clint started. Amazing crazy information! Quote
plushie[TK] Posted January 17, 2016 Report Posted January 17, 2016 I was mostly looking at the helmet, as that was the most glaring of design issues to me. Now I'm looking at more pictures of the armor.On the calf pieces, the black 'pills' should be facing out, not in. Not fixable by swapping out on your legs, as there's the little vertical bars that do face out. On the forearms, the black boxes are on the inside of the wrist. Could be an easy fix by popping the boxes off and re-affixing them to the correct forearms.The chest piece needs to be sitting a bit higher, which that's just simple positioning. Nothing about the armor really screams unapprovable to me, but I'm not a membership officer judging costumes. Quote
dejango[TK] Posted January 17, 2016 Report Posted January 17, 2016 Looks very dis-proportioned in several spots, mainly on the sides of the helmet and breast plate. I'd be cautious Quote

jimmiroquai[TK] Posted January 18, 2016 Report Posted January 18, 2016 I've contacted the seller and she conformed that this is a recast of my armor. Reported the item to etsy. I have screen caps of the conversation and the sale page. I haven't given anyone permission to recast my stuff. Someone from the UK did ask for permission to cast for a few of his friends but conditions have not been met yet. And i expressly did not give any permission for anyone to sell recasts of my armor internationally. 3 Quote
plushie[TK] Posted January 18, 2016 Report Posted January 18, 2016 Good luck Jim. I'm still very new to spotting recasters. Some are easier to spot than others. Quote

TK4205 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Posted January 19, 2016 It's like watching your friend get robbed. Quote
aramis Posted January 20, 2016 Report Posted January 20, 2016 Did you try clicking on the "Report this item to Etsy" link? It's on the right, in the grey part underneath the pictures...basically in the "Related to this item" section. Not sure if it does anything but might be worth a try. Quote
