LoneWolf Posted July 20, 2019 Report Posted July 20, 2019 Hi! I haven't purchased a kit yet because I'm still trying to decide which armor I want to buy. Is it possible to have something that will be versatile...for example could ANH armor also be used for a Heavy Weapons Trooper with the right modifications? And then eventually turn it into a Sandtrooper once it becomes all scuffed up? Quote
TheSwede[TK] Posted July 20, 2019 Report Posted July 20, 2019 Hi Theresa and welcome to FISD, to answer your questions - yes and that´s infact what most Troopers do Quote

LoneWolf Posted January 29, 2020 Author Report Posted January 29, 2020 Well, I've done some more research and now I know which vendors are vetted and which to avoid, thanks to this site. Since I'm not a very tall person, are there some vendors who offer smaller helmets over others? I'm afraid of looking like a bobblehead. Quote

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted January 29, 2020 Report Posted January 29, 2020 A thread on helmet size you may find of interest Quote
Junos Posted January 30, 2020 Report Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) 4 hours ago, Maiyen said: Junos, I’m 5’7”-5’8”. Im 5'8. The only bobblehead syndrome I've experienced is with the Hasbro Black Series helmet, and that's just because Hasbro made the cheeks a bit wider. (which made the entire sides wider) Each vendor's helmet may vary in size just a little bit, like in gmrhodes13's reply. Personally, I wouldn't worry over bobblehead unless, it's Black Series. Have you focused down to a list of vendors you're looking into? No doubt there, people will be able to chime in about helmet size. Attached is what that "bobble head" black series looks like. It's not too horrible. Here's what "bobble head" black series looks like with a full set of armor. Page 2, scroll most of the way down. Quote Edited January 30, 2020 by Junos Quote
LoneWolf Posted January 30, 2020 Author Report Posted January 30, 2020 Thank you for the link, gmrhodes13. That thread makes it appear that they do vary in size, but not much...or at least that was my take on it. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Hi Junos, I personally don't think you look like a bobblehead in the BS helmet. Typically, I find that most men don't since you all tend to have more muscular builds; therefore, it looks pretty proportional no matter the height. The vendors that are on the top of my list and why are WTF (lower cost), AP (several women seem to wear his armor) and TM (screen accuracy). So far TM has a slight lead because I'm not so big on the blue-white of some of the others, but maybe I'm wrong about this? I'm just not sure if TM's helmet is bigger because on some of the centurion builds that I've looked at it seems that the helmet looks huge on shorter people. It's bang on for guys who are 5'10" and 180 lbs (and bigger), but I'm more like 135 lbs. Quote

LoneWolf Posted January 31, 2020 Author Report Posted January 31, 2020 Ha! That’s funny, Junos! So which maker do you wear, if you don’t mind me asking? Quote

I'm still waiting for my Big Brown Box and my Medium Brown Box to arrive in the mail, which should be around next month. I ordered a Rogue 1 TK from 850 Armorworks + Helmet by HeadshotProps. 1 Quote
ABS80 Posted January 31, 2020 Report Posted January 31, 2020 Here you can see AP on different size customers, starting from smallest Stacy who is 5.4" second 5.7" and the rest 5.9" + 2 Quote
TK37015[501st] Posted March 4, 2020 Report Posted March 4, 2020 Hello and welcome, of course! In the case of the sandtrooper then you will have to change the detachment Quote
