Casting on demand!
Finally updating this thread because Photobucket SUCKS. NOW offering TLJ Helmets
Hi All!
Slots are open and a 40% down payment (prices below) reserves you a slot. Once slots are filled up, you can be added to the waitlist for the next run.
Armor will be cast in our new flexible fiberglass mix and will be cast in white as well. We’ve designed it to be very easy to assemble. Armor will include all hard parts for either The Force Awakens (TFA) or The Last Jedi (TLJ) configurations.
You can check out the build threads here:

And this video showcases the material we use:

2017 helmets: TLJ on theleft, TFA on the right
Here's the finished armor in the TLJ configuration.It's made of flexible fiberglass, surface finished and painted withpolyurethane auto paint. In this pic i am 5'8.5" 185 lbs with a 38"waistline. The armor will probably fit someone 5'7"-6'1” with a wide range of girths without too much modification.
I am selling raw, unpainted flexible fiberglass sets only
Pricing is as follows (all prices plus shipping)
Option 1: Full FOTK set: armor + helmet: $850usd
Option 2: FOTK armor only: $750usd
Option 3: FOTK helmet only: $170usd
Optional Add-ons:
Soft pouches: $20
Cloth gaskets: $120
I will be needing a 40% deposit to include you in the run and to get started on your kit.
Please indicate if you are getting TFA or TLJ
If you’re ordering the gaskets only, I’ll need full payment plus a flatrate 45usd shipping fee.
Balance and shipping will be due when I have your kit on hand, ready to ship. Please wait for me to contact you when you’re run is about to start before sending any payment.

Please indicate in the paypal message your name / username, what you are paying for, regular or express shipping, and your full shipping address
As before, these will be shipping from the Philippines and to make things a bit simpler, I’ll be listing shipping costs and options by region:
Express Mail Service – EMS (5-10 working days) – Rates have gone up as off 12/16 due to exchange rate decline.
· There is also the cheapest option of surface shipping by sea and land. This is not available to all countries and takes about 2-3 months transit time. Please email/message me for a quote.
FAQ
1) Will this armor fit me?
A > Without mods, this armor will fit someone 5'6" to around 6'1". Waistline 32" - 45" (guestimate). Thighs are 27" circumference at the widest part. Biceps are 17". If you are familiar with working with fiberglass, or know someone who is, you can modify the armor to fit outside the range. FOTK armor is actually more of a “one size fits almost all” kind of design with gaps being covered by the gaskets
2) Is this armor 501st approved?
A > First off, the 501st doesn't approve just the armor. Nor is any armor "501st approved" out of the box. You have to have all the elements of the whole costume, build and wear the costume to match the CRL and be approved as an individual. That being said, i followed the drafting of the CRL for the FOTK closely and built my armor to be approvable. Some mods will have to be done for the armor to conform to standard, but these mods are minimal and easily done. As of November 11 2015, i'm happy to report that i've been officially 501st approved as a First Order TK in this armor. Another buyer has since been approved as well and more are sure to follow.
3) What is new for this 2017 run?
A> We’ve updated our sculpts and molds so that this will be more accurate out of the box with less additional work for you to be done. We’ve also improved the surfaces of the parts to get them as smooth as possible fresh from the mold to minimize surface finishing before painting. We’re also now offering The Last Jedi configurations of the FOTK.
4) Where do I get the rest of the costume (rubber/cloth gaskets, gloves, boots).
A> You can get accurate capes from Jessica Bowyer on FB. Teresa Nuthall makes cloth gaskets as well. Gloves: any smooth black gloves will do. Undersuit: any black bodysuit will do. Boots, black ankle boots
5) What is the lead time for orders?
A> 1-2 weeks, depending on demand.
Thanks for the interest!
