YES, Love it Jedifyfe!
I love Star Wars mashups. I know the RUN DMC/Adidas Stormtrooper is a hit everywhere he goes.


I was a BTTF Zombie mashup at last week's Scare-A-Con in Syracuse.

Yep the hiphop trooper is great! And those customs would look great on my ESB Fett costume, Brad haha

What's the verdict for the pockets? Do people use craft foam or a different kind of material?

Yes, craft foam. I use black foam and give it two light coats of grey Krylon Primer.

It is but a cool one at the same time. I have a Boba Fett chest plate template that I might have a go at using 10mm EVA foam. Then I can be a "MAGdalorian"

Here is what they should look like. The green will be a little more hunter green or olive drab:

Nope. I want to keep these as MAGs and not go too far with the mash up.

Where is everyone getting their EL Panels recently? I need another panel. I have been buying from El Wire Craft now for a long time and I end up paying almost $40 for a A5 sheet. Has anyone got a place with a better price?

I thought the EL sheets were cheap and the inverters were the expensive part?

$40 is good. I think I use to pay $50-$60 for an A5 sheet. You would think it would be easier to find EL sheets. I only like the cuttable tabbed sheets without the pre soldered prongs on them. It's hard to find.

Nope. The EL panels are expensive and not the easiest to work with, and the inverters are only about $5-10 each.

The 4 pronged sheets are the only ones I can find and the connections have to be redone sometimes. I wish I could find one of the tabbed sheets instead.

I found these. Looks like "green" is the best match:

EL Backlight - cuttable

Looks like someone on Ebay is selling modded V2's with blue soles:. They look pretty good:

Okay I was looking at something else that said pink...

Currently at $1200 wonder how high they will go.

They really should put not original or something in their listing, someone could easily buy those say not as described/fake and get their money back and keep the shoes....then the seller would be screwed.

Well it is up to the seller to be upfront about what it is that they are selling then. I get the time/parts thing, but $1200. Seriously?

Could be that someone thinks they are real. But if someone wants to pay that for replicas then that's up to them! Those are the best I have seen on Ebay though. The time it takes and making the soles is pricey.
