Alright, so I recently turned 18 and am currently being evaluated for 501st approval. I first started the process in March of last year with the thought "If i'm going to put this much money into something - it's going to be the character I love." So I made a TK, and don't get me wrong; stormtroopers are by far my favorite character out of anything really. And while I love the look of my TK, it's just horribly inconvienent. There are so many armor parts so I have to do a lot of adjusting, the thigh pieces don't fit right and the ab plate sags so walking is a pain, and I can barely see anything out of the helmet. The biker scout seems like the perfect substitute (Snowtrooper Commander is up there too but that is more winter only and is harder to source). The visor is bigger, so there is more visibility, and there is way less armor so the mobility problem is fixed tenfold as well. And the biker scout is just as recognizable as stormtroopers. Biker scouts are basically just recon stormtroopers so I think the fit works (though downsizing to the little holdout blaster will be sad). What do you all think? Does the hassle of finding a way out of TK and switching to TB sound like a good idea to you? Right now I think it sounds like the perfect solution.
Also, here's a picture of my TK if you're interested:
PS: I just noticed there is a roach on my right thigh. I heard a flying bug slam into the side of my helmet when I was wearing it too.
