Personally until the blaster is known I would just list the blaster parts that we do know as part of the holster.

Be advised the Hot Toys is a prototype and they have changed figure weapons in the past for production. Death Watch is a good example.

We've never governed the height of code cylinders in a CRL.  No need to start now.

So here we go on the tunic(I've highlighted in red for some Thrawn specific items):
 
 
Tunic is constructed of a medium to heavy white twill weave fabric. Wool or wool-like twill weave is preferred. Double-breasted with a left over right closure on the tapered yoke. Yoke wraps across the shoulder to the top shoulder seam. The standing collar has square corners and is between 1.25 inches (31.8 mm) to 2 inches (50.8 mm) tall dependent on wearer’s neck size. Collar closes snug. Modesty panel is OPTIONAL. Collar edges are closed with two (2) eye hooks. There are severe wears on the collar's edge. Two code cylinder pockets on both outside panels of the jacket located half way between the top and bottom on the arm hole. Sleeves are long, and without decoration, cuffs, or buttons. Sleeves contain 2 seams; one along the bottom and one along the back. At the bicep there are two seams running parallels to each other on both sides, with 5~7cm apart. The seams form a sharp bowl shape.  Tunic is constructed with no top-stitching (stitches visible on the exterior surface of fabric), except for the few spots where the yoke close with the right sides of the clothes. Hook and eye fasteners on the uniform should not be visible. There are mess stitching  Optional: Up to six (6) hooks may be added through the sides of the tunic to hold belt in place. Hooks must be black.  
OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): There is a dart present on the top center of the yoke. The dart may vary in size due to the size of the wearer's individual tunic and how it fits, but should be between 2 to 4 inches (50.5mm to 101mm) in length. Typically, but not always, the dart ends at or below the top of the code cylinder pocket. There is a seam running the entire circumference of the tunic, dividing it along a line hidden by the uniform belt. The back of the tunic has princess seams that run vertically and turn outward to intersect the arm-hole seam at the vertical center. The bicep seams are constructed with no top-stitching (stitches visible on the exterior surface of fabric) The bicep lower seam ends exactly where the code cylinder pocket opening begins. The whole tunic is slightly worn. The mess stitching and worn spots align with the prop.

I think if they are added to the CRL they should be optional, the Tarkin CRL doesn't have them either and I think he had them in Ep. IV.
 
 
Very good question indeed, as we can only see the handle maybe just refer to that and the Healthways Plainsman design. Maybe we get some bts footage or additional material to work with or to update the CRL later.

I don't think we'll see what the pistol blaster looks like until season 2. All we know for now is that the handle part is from Healthways Plainsman. Should we keep the pistol part blank? Or skip it?
Or should we wait for Season 2 then release the CRL?
 

Thanks for staring the draft forthe CRL. I wouldn't even know where to begin so this helps me organize my build of the costume.

Perhaps add it to the Belt Section, like "Belt is secured with 6 belt hooks" or so just my 2 cents
Making it a basic requirement or L1 requirement could be discussed.

We have already started a bit on this thread. Feel free to join it

@ChrisLie was asking about this poncho:

We STILL don't have the Andor style ponchos in the CRLs yet. Is this the one?

Waxed cotton is waterproof. I have several coats, hats, and bicycle bags made from waxed cotton and canvas.

My source at Pinewood came back to me. They are a cotton with a wax applied.

I'll try not to be too distracting, so I'll be brief. I don't think Deedra Meero is the main villain. I'd say it's an opinion. Syril Karn is more the main antagonist than Meero. He's in opposition specifically to the "Hero" Cassian than any of the others. Deedra is more the main antagonist to Luthen than Cassian for most of the series. If that makes sense, then any of the other ISB supervisors should get a CRL of their own or even Syril himself with his custom piping and tailoring. I personally like the way the Non-saga CRLs are written as they give members the freedom to do pretty much any imperial officer character. 
 
That's my last word on it here.
Let's discuss what are the merits of a new CRL creation elsewhere. What are the qualifications and what disqualifies a new CRL?

Aloha Scott. Have you been helped yet? Please feel free to message me!

Sorry, Tom, but saying any named officer needs a CRL then saying not every named officer needs a CRL in the same post sounds too much like a double standard. That doesn't sit right with me. What is unique about the costume to warrant a separate CRL? Truly unique. There isn't much in my eyes. To do a named character has always been to base the Executor and Imperator certification on the character. every CRL in the legion has something unique about them. Something that sets them apart from others. Unfortunately, there isn't anything unique about most officer costumes. That isn't the fault of the IOC. That is by design of the costume department of the production.
 
After reading the progress on this multiple times and maybe this should be an extended conversation elsewhere, but from what I'm reading it's seeming more and more that this conversation is less and less about the actual costume and more about the fact that the character is female. Which bothers me. When did we start including gender into the creation of a new CRL?
 
Maybe it's because I'm a male but I have never seen any backlash over female CRL's. The principle that has been for IOC CRL creations has always been based on unique details in a character's costume. Director Isard for example. A very unique costume due to the red tunic and trousers. Then there's Thrawn and the Rebel's Thrawn compared to other GAs. Again, unique compared to others. Dedra Meero getting her own CRL just because she's female is sexist.
 
The 501st as a whole should not start the precedent of judging the person's appearance or gender. Only the costume and how it fits on the body. That is all and how it always should be. That's why we have a female as the CRL for the Rebels Era Thrawn right? Gender equality should always be present, but we shouldn't arbitrarily favor one over the other. If there truly is something unique in the costume by all means please find it, hunt it down, bring it to light and write the CRL and I'll rejoice as hard as anyone because I love to see new CRLs completed and hard work rewarded. But let's do it right first.
 
Please someone correct me if I'm wrong or if I misunderstand something... and please don't misunderstand my opposition for discrimination. Sexual discrimination disturbs me greatly.

The Spanish-style (curved top) equestrian boots have always been allowed, I think that's why that detail is in there.  We need to do some research for the non-Saga costumes, and see if we can confirm that NONE of the characters have Spanish-style tops on their boots, at which point I'd agree that language needs to be dropped and people will need all flat top boots.
 
Obviously we need to tweak the boot CRL to bring in the rear adjustment flap and strap, which appears to be basically the same as the ones on the German jack boots.  Previously only Krennic had boots with the adjustment strap, if memory serves.  Meanwhile, no one seeking L3 approval with accurate boots is going to be turned down, whether the CRL has been updated or not.
 
I'd need to consult a lot more resources on removing the belly seam for Meero, though.
 
As to whether Meero gets an individual face character CRL, that remains to be seen, but current leaning is no.  It's not a unique costume in any way, it's the standard IOC uniform, just a tad more tailored as you'd expect for a lead character.  IOC leadership has been saying for at least 6 years now, through multiple rounds of staffing, that Tarkin really shouldn't have a dedicated CRL, and if it was to be redone in recent memory, he would not have had one.  They're all officers with standard uniform variations.  (To be clear we have no intention of messing with any of the OT CRLs... Tarkin is safe!  But we don't need to repeat those mistakes with new ones.)
