    I got my Saturday ticket! Who’s down for another IOC Blender in the Marriott bar Friday night like 2015?!

    IOC Blender or Bender?? Hahahaha. J/k

    The Stormtrooper Detachment Mixer was the bad one.  The IOC one was pretty classy, as befits the Officer Corps.  Although I do remember the three of us stumbling back to our respective hotels afterwards! 

  2. Anyone else get a pass to the Disney After Dark Star Wars night?  I jumped on one as it seems like they are relaxing the "no-costumes" stance for the event, and the way I read the remaining restrictions, it looks like IOC uniforms should pass muster.  I figured this would likely be my only chance at getting pictures in uniform in Galaxy's Edge... Which is the whole point of going to Galaxy's Edge for me! 

  3. I got Wed-Mon at Castle Inn as well, at least as a placeholder.  Nice to hear it's only a ten minute walk... Sounds about the same as where I was for the last Anaheim Celebration.  Helpful for those late night stumbling walks back to the room after the various after hours parties!  (though just taking an elevator upstairs would be better!) :D

    I'm a member of the OC squad. We had a celebration planning meeting two weeks ago. If you attend, come meet us at the 501st booth. 

    Has there been any mention of dates yet? 

  5. I was really bummed to have missed this year's Celebration. I am thrilled for it to be back in Anaheim, and no off year wait in between!   

      I remember the awesome IOC Mixer from the last Anaheim Celebration, and am looking forward to it again.  By all means let's start getting plans made! 

  6. Just one small suggestion.  The neck guard should be coming "out" of the ears, rather than being sandwiched between the ear and the helmet bowl.  This will give you a bit more flare at the front, and should help relieve the current "pinched" look of the neck guard.  

      Hard to describe, but any decent photos of the helmet can illustrate what I mean.  The front edge of the neck guard actually goes into the ear almost to the front - facing edge of the ear, and the neck guard extends out the bottom of the ear. 

  7. Ditto here, but for a FO captain, supposedly done last March.  Communication was ok up til about mid last year, when she went radio silent, except for posting occasional convention posts on Instagram. Hope things are OK since I met her once back at Celebration Orlando, and she was a very nice person.  But some sort of comms would be good, even if it's "hey, sorry it's late, I'm just way behind." Even though it's almost a year past due, I don't mind, as long as there is some communication. 

  8. Congrats on a cool troop! Just an observation if you happen to care about such things, but I have found that wearing the lanyard inside the jacket, and just letting the badge hang out from the side opening (if required to be visible at all) is much less obtrusive in photos.  It's also a lot easier to slip the badge into the jacket behind the front flap for a quick photo. Lanyards are a bit more invisible with a black uniform, but I have found them to stand out quite a bit on the olive. When in a sharp uniform like yours, you should look as neat as possible! 8)

  9. There was a preview of three new female First Order officers on a youtube video as well.  All apparently "Epic" rareity, which is mildly surprising as they didn't appear to be anything too special other than a face swap.   Still, nice to see we'll finally be able to not have everyone of a certain class looking like clones of each other.  Uhh.. Except of course, the actual clones... 

      I just really hope they bring back my beloved Imperial Navy Troopers!

  10. Are there any good shots of princess seams on the back?  I haven't been able to get any good shots of them, and would be quite interested to see.

     

      Also, the red lining of the gauntlets as shown above is also visible in the detention block shootout occassionally.  If I knew how to upload photos I'd post some, but in any case they can be found in the high-def screencaps posted online, mostly when INs get shot and spin around.  

      It is also worth noting that the gauntlet cuffs (of at least the type with the metal buckle)  appear to be made of two parts, the main over arm part, with a separate piece joining the two edges of the main part of the cuff, resulting in a seam running down the length of the cuff to the wrist.  Again, pretty plainly visible on those high-def screencaps.

    I have heard tell that Giovanni literally only replies via FB messenger. I haven't worked with him personally but that seems to be the general consensus. His work is pretty great though!

    Sucks for me then as I do not use Facebook.  Nice to know though so I don't waste any more attempts on it.
