When you compare with your Funkopop image that definitely has a stripe rather than a 1/3 dome.

 

 

As always it will be a wait and see until more reference material is available

How am I doing?

 

 

Just going to raise the profile of the 4 clips and it's done.

Anyone notice how the black section is actually a stripe? Above the trapazoid you can see white, and at the etched line you can see that's where the black stripe starts.

On this image too

At last....here's an accurate bucket on sale....

 

 

Should pass....right????  

 

[ukswrath[Staff]]

Want! lol

[First0rder[TK]]

Love the new look with the frown and teeth throwback to the originals.  I'm so sold!  Want. Haha!!!

[Daetrin[Admin]]

Agreed, I kinda like it better than the EP7.  The EP8 may be a new favorite (as you guys know, I like the ESB look too...)

[First0rder[TK]]

For the Teeth color, what you guys think its color is?  think its Satin Black like the Mesh behind it or slightly a Graphite Grey or Black color? 

Just staging to get the paint and prepare.  

[Dday[501st]]

I feel certain they are the same satin coloration. But this is based purely on the game render we have.

 

 

If you see the circled areas, the light reacts the same on both of these parts, it's highlighting a raised surface, lightening the black.

 

In the rest of the photos we see, the teeth are so dark, as to not stand out, which makes me feel like these are black, otherwise, we would see them much more obvious in the promo photos that are around.

Probably our first full length look at the TLJ FOTK.

 

Check out that overlap on the thigh!!!

Yep. Might just be the stunt or could be a whole new exciting world of overlap joy!

This is the same as TFA though so nothing new here.

It certainly seems more pronounced. Perhaps just the wrong sized person for the kit

Hey, sometimes that environmental seal needs a little help from Home Depot.

I never made the connection (no pun intended) that the overlap on the biceps is a septette connection from the artificial seam in the front. 

[ukswrath[Staff]]

Biceps, thighs and shins OH MY!

I think that the photos we are seeing is conclusive evidence that aside from the helmet there are no significant differences between a basic TFA trooper and a basic TLJ trooper. Good news for those of us who already own TFA suits - a simple helmet swap and we are good to go for the premiere.

Agreed as long as this is headed towards the CRL for the TLJ direction  Wanting my first approved suit to be TLJ.

If there were any changes I think it's minimal IMHO

Slightly more curved on the closure but really not an issue for basic approval I would think, more a L2 or L3 requirement
