Cod is definitely different and required for TLJ L2 EIB as most makers use the TFA design, the images below show the differences of those. Forearms are also different (without digging for better images, the below show the difference) TFA TJL Anovos You may find this spreadsheet useful https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GBkXIfRs9lYW6vnhVjqdEv5oNdp2ToTs/view Thanks. We’re in an interesting situation as most discussion focuses on taking a TFA kit and turning it into TLJ - whereas I want to go the opposite direction and take a TLJ kit and return it back to a TFA... fun times ahead - and I’m sure the CRL will be updated before Anovos actually ship anyway.

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 Correct Tony I should have said Anovos's TLJ Version but I was just comparing that to the TFA A side by side and no mater which version TFA or TLJ some rework will be needed on the Anovos forearms 1 Quote
Harbinger[IPM] Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 It looks like neither. Thanks Anovos. Quote

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted July 14, 2019 Report Posted July 14, 2019 I remembered the "stunt" "Finn" variation but even that's not the same that tapers and Anovos doglegs Quote

Peregrinus Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 Recommend he start making "upgrade kits" of the parts needed for each. Cod and forearm rear pieces for TFA, for instance. I want to actually have stuff in hand before i hatch a plan of action, since that demo dress-up wasnt fully assembled but just stuck together for a quick-and-dirty picture. Quote

It’s not just TFA though the forearms don’t match TLJ either, who knows what they used as reference for them Quote
The5thHorseman[501st] Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) They used Finn's forearms as reference which had 'mobility' cuts made to them. But they didn't replicate it quite properly either. Just be glad they didn't replicate the knocked off wrist boxes too. Edited July 15, 2019 by The5thHorseman Quote

Which means these are a one off making them unique to his costume like the helmet hand print, not the norm. Worthy oh their own CRL maybe? Edited July 15, 2019 by ukswrath Quote

Well that stinks, hopefully KB has updated or plans to update his armor. Maybe have multiple options available Edited July 15, 2019 by ukswrath Quote
JAFO[TK] Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 There are some pretty decent 3D files for the forearm. It’s one of the few parts of the kit I think could work as a print.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 1 Quote
The5thHorseman[501st] Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) That's how I did mine and it just doesn't compare with the softness of vac-formed forearms. However, the area that Anovos removed does have the tendency to get in the way when you try to bend the arm. I guess the propmakers didn't think of that when they designed the stormtrooper armor for TFA. Which is probably why they reworked it later on for TLJ, and probably TROS.
