Scout armor variant question

[Guest Malus]

Hello, I'm new here and had a question regarding a variant of the scout armor. I have attached a pic of the scout trooper art from the new toy line and I'm curious if this style would be an approved version, any help would be greatly appreciated

We're actually looking into that right now. Our Kashyyyk armorer, Grumpy, has built that. We're waiting to hear back on it. Stay tuned.

Awesome, thank you, I'm getting all the info I can so I can get my armor build underway

Thought this was a lazy Photoshop of a Kashyyyk Trooper on the Jakks Pacific 18" toy. The toy is the regular version of "us". Unless I see a "PreBiker Scout" on Rebels Im considering this grafic artist lazyness.

[Grumpy]

Wow. Why didn't I see this post earlier?

Rebels? Nah...they have that AT-DP Scout Patrol thingy...

 

Nobody still knows the proper source of this.

Yes, it's on a large Fathead wall sticker.

Yes, it's on the back of the large Jakks Scout Trooper package...

And...it's also in the Star Tours II ride. (A moving visual reference.)

(The Sky Trooper only had TWO references...an action figure...and it's appearance in the Star Tour ride.)

 

It's a "Kashyyyk Biker Scout."

I have made one of these costumes. Finished it last Septemeber.

 

And, I don't believe that it's graphic artist laziness.

It is Kashyyyk Trooper armor that is mostly white with a black undersuit...sound familiar?

 

But, if anyone bothers to look at the helmet and its details, you can see that it's a morph of the Kashyyyk Trooper and a ROTJ Biker Scout.

The change had to occur somewhere between Ep. III & Ep. VI.

 

I had submitted it for approval and was told that two of the three references that I provided were a "marketing mistake."

 

I followed all of the rules, provided the three "LFL approved" images, which shows an all-around view, and I have even written a CRL.

 

I was told that this character should have a backstory.

When has a backstory been a requirement for a new character? Never!

 

I will resubmit it after the election has calmed down.

 

 

Malus, if you want to also build one of these, start out with a regular set of Kashyyyk Trooper armor.

Grumpy, that is AWESOME!

 

My 5 year old son got me that Jaxx Pacific figure (he named him "Biker 61"). As soon as I saw that pic on the box, I thought what a cool stylized version of scout armor. Yours is great, man. Nice work.

We're still working on getting it approved. Stay tuned. Def don;t think it was being lazy. lazy is pulling a screen grab of a standing scout and photoshopping out the rest. This took time to do.
