Dekard[501st] Posted March 25, 2023 Report Posted March 25, 2023 Just saw some guy that posts like the FN Armour guy and his posts and how he wraps the armor is exactly the same as the FN Armour guys.. I'd suggest anyone interested in a TK stay away from this guy.. lots of people got burnt. https://www.facebook.com/groups/856944321087645/user/100030190356051/ 1 Quote
FN1313[TK] Posted March 25, 2023 Report Posted March 25, 2023 That link only takes me to a costume group page. So it’s hard to know which post to be aware of. Quote

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted March 25, 2023 Report Posted March 25, 2023 While we can't be 100% certain at this point, if it can be proven that this is FN it should certainly be a case of "Buyer beware", and some more research would be in order for sure. BUT, keep in mind that this person is selling 30 of these kits as one package, which I imagine will end up being individually sold on ebay or the like at some point. While all armorers have unique little nuances in their designs, as seen below this one has it's share as well, and to be honest, I'm not a fan of this kit. Depending on the GML it might be fine for Basic approval and maybe even EI with some work, but not for Centurion if that is what someone is aiming for. Here are a few items that would need some updating for screen accuracy: The ab plate button covers are integrated and not separate pieces. The buttons themselves are not integrated into the design and are separate (like SDS and Maker of Things). The small button plate is way too tall. Reference 1. Separate cod. Not a big deal but should be part of the ab-plate. 2. Oddly shaped ridges on lower thigh rears. 3. Overlap design on all limb joins, not cover strips. 1. 2. 3 1. Zero return edges on limb pieces, posterior plate and kidney. Not ideal for those that like a thicker look to their armor, and could cause kidney/posterior plate overlaps 2. Large center button on TD is convex, not concave. Again, not the biggest of issues, but the buttons look more square than rectangular. Length needs to be reduced (easily done). 1. 2. Reference 2 Quote
Detaleader Posted April 1, 2023 Report Posted April 1, 2023 They seem to also advertise with photos of different armor, claiming this is theirs too. When confronted on this they claim it's part of their 2500 pound version. Needless to say that advertising different products in the same listing without mentioning it is scummy as hell - if it even really is theirs. Buyers beware! 1 Quote
TheSwede[TK] Posted April 2, 2023 Report Posted April 2, 2023 The armor above is EFX that never was…they got hold of a set of original armor from a private collector. Quote
