We do not need a seperate CRL for the R1/Solo/Mando TKs outside of minor option updates to the main CRL unless there are major deviations. There is zero reason to add a ANH bucket to these TKs.

themaninthesuitcase[Admin] Posted November 22, 2019 Report Posted November 22, 2019 I haven’t seen any of the episodes yet, yay March release time , but do we even know if these are imperial troopers? Wouldn’t be the first time someone who shouldn’t wore the white armour. Quote

The5thHorseman[501st] Posted November 24, 2019 Report Posted November 24, 2019 From what I heard they used Anovos OT helmets with R1 armors. 1 Quote

That's sure what it looks like, and that would certainly make sense. It could very well be the angle of the image, but to me at least there seems to be a few differences. Among other things, the tear looks to have a deeper swoop and the front (bottom) is shorter and has a curve. The frown also has a straighter line at the top and the angle seems different. Again, it could be the odd positioning that's throwing me off. Quote
themaninthesuitcase[Admin] Posted November 24, 2019 Report Posted November 24, 2019 I wonder what caused them not to used the R1 helmets as well as the armour. 3 hours ago, justjoseph63 said: That's sure what it looks like, and that would certainly make sense.

If I take mine and turn it right it looks pretty close, also I can't really think of any other buckets with such a distinctive eye surround. Quote

TK2103 Posted April 9, 2020 Report Posted April 9, 2020 I know I am VERY late to the party, but may I add that those helmets may in fact be re purposed anovos helmets? It’s not too far fetched, as disney owns them. I own an Anovos TK kit, and the helmet looks identical to meSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote
Nagedzi[TK] Posted April 23, 2020 Report Posted April 23, 2020 Oh man...I totally never noticed it before! All the personal TK retinue of the “Client” (Werner Herzog) are wearing ANH buckets and R1 armour. Moff Gideon’s main TKs, on the other hand are wearing R1 buckets (except, of course our fellow 501st members as extras). Very interesting and deliberate choice to differentiate the two! I agree that the ANH buckets look like Anovos to me, too.... I never much cared for them, but now might have to get one to do up as a remnant trooper if I can find one for a good deal lol. Quote
careems23b[TK] Posted April 23, 2020 Report Posted April 23, 2020 Maybe if I could offer a suggestion get an a Anovos Sand trooper helmet since it's already weathered change out the stickersAdd additional weathering if needed and you have a remanent storm trooper helmet You can find it on eBay for a good price I bought 1 for $184.00.Sent from my SM-G981U using Tapatalk 1 Quote
BigJasoni[TK] Posted September 20, 2020 Report Posted September 20, 2020 Good morning FISD! I want to resurrect this thread for a few reasons. First, in my ROTK build thread found herehttps://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/49826-the-bigjasonis-rotk-3d-print-build-thread/page/3/?tab=comments#comment-701421 I asked about a CRL for The Mandalorian Remnant Stormtrooper. I asked this question on the 12th, and then found this thread the next day. However, I'm not seeing any kind of answer as to whether or not we can expect a new CRL. Next, when The Mandalorian Season 2 Trailer dropped a few days ago, there was about a 1.5 to 2 second clip that showed some Stormtroopers running down the hall of what people are assuming is a Star Destroyer. Though this flashed up on the screen relatively quickly, it's clear that in season 2 the Stormtroopers are in fact wearing ROTK armor. I'm assuming these are some of Moff Gideon's troopers based off their shininess, but I can't tell if they're wearing OT or RO helmets. I believe these are ROTK helmets, but I'm basing that off of what appears to be an absence of S-trim around the opening of the bucket on the middle TK. Suspicions about the Stormtroopers should be confirmed on October 30th, but if we do indeed see ROTK armor with OT helmet again, can we expect an addition to the CRL for a Remnant Stormtrooper? Or, can we expect something based off of what we saw in season 1? This does seem rather unique; plus, I'd really like to order an OT helmet to go with my ROTK build. Thanks! 1 Quote

I think we will have to wait until the 30th October for clearer images, but in regards to a new CRL or addition to the CRL that is ultimately up to our DL @Sly11 the more references available the easier it is to make decisions Quote
Sly11[Admin] Posted September 20, 2020 Report Posted September 20, 2020 I have no problems with looking at a Remnant TK CRL but as Glen mentioned we need some pretty good references to decide if it is different enough to warrant it. There was talk of the helmet looking more ANH than R1 from season 1 but when it comes to CRL's references are king. Someone has to put in the hard work and prove they are different by sharing screen caps and pointing out their findings for further discussion to start and in turn evolve. To be honest the images several post above with those sharp lines around the eyes, make that bucket look like an Anovos more then a R1 that has very soft lines in comparison plus the eye bump is far less pronounced on the R1 bucket.

careems23b[TK] Posted September 21, 2020 Report Posted September 21, 2020 Here are some Reference pictures. It looks like the helmet is rogue one style but the helmet is original trilogy style But there are also some other scenes that have the complete rogue one style armour and helmet Sent from my SM-G981U using Tapatalk Quote
BigJasoni[TK] Posted September 21, 2020 Report Posted September 21, 2020 @gmrhodes13, @Sly11 thanks for the info. Those earlier pics are why I was happy to find this thread; they definitely complimented the question I asked in my ROTK build thread. Again, along with the pics in this thread, I've got this Vintage Collection figure staring at me every day: Didn't even dawn on me until just now that the Trooper in this picture is carrying a RO E-11 blaster. Also, am I blind or is he not wearing a drop box on his left side? Now, I'm just the new guy here, but I think this pic shows enough nuances to get the conversation started, but of course I defer to the pros. I guess as I get closer to finishing my build, I also want to start thinking about the future. In the meantime, I'll see if I can capture a few more pics and get that conversation started. Thanks as always guys! Quote

You're right in that both sets of armor are used throughout the season. @Nagedzi even pointed out how the ROTKs accompanied Moff Gideon, while the Remnants were with The Client. When it all comes down to it, I just can't wait for the next season to start. Quote
11b30b4[TK] Posted September 21, 2020 Report Posted September 21, 2020 I think I saw almost every possible combination of armor and helmets in Season 1 of the Mandalorian. A buddy of mine is a Scout Trooper and his head exploded when he saw the two Scout Troopers with upside down knee plates and a cumberbund that was completely screwed up. My feeling on this has been that whomever has been coaching the costume department on the show has limited knowledge of the level of detail we (501) have in our CRLs. I totally understand the mismatch leans towards the fall of the empire but that sounds like more of a copout than a real "reason" for the horrible level of imperial costumes. I will note that from what I have seen, there were a ton of Black Series RO helmets used like the scene with all the helmets on the pikes. I also believe that the TK helmets in the destroyed death star in TRS were also BS. As we all know, the BS helmets does not fit everyone and were made for children. my guess, as I have no proof, is they needed a lot of helmets and Anovos was available. Personally, I loved the series but I cringe when I see the Imperial armor mismatch. Also I should note that Pathfinders have already done a Remnant Bike Scout CRL. https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:Scout-Trooper-The-Mandalorian Quote
BigJasoni[TK] Posted November 11, 2020 Report Posted November 11, 2020 Ugh. So Hasbro just released these pics. Unfortunately I missed the opportunity to pre-order, but again here's specific reference to the Remnant Stormtrooper.

I've started a folder on my desktop called "Remnant" which is going to get filled with reference pics. 1 Quote

I've missed the last 7 Target exclusive pre-orders as well as the Walmart exclusive Clone Wars Black Series figures (I've got a problem, I know). I think it's street-dated for the 29th, which means I'll be standing there waiting for the doors to open. My son and I have been collecting for years, I need to dust. Lol. Back to finding screen caps. Quote
Firedog[TK] Posted November 11, 2020 Report Posted November 11, 2020 I'm jealous! I just started collecting and am slowly growing my collection. Quote
BigJasoni[TK] Posted November 11, 2020 Report Posted November 11, 2020 Lol. This is only a fraction of the collection. Until I get the man-cave finished, the figures rotate. I may have to come up with another name for the man cave, maybe Sarlacc Pit, or something more Star Wars related. 1 Quote
