There's a socket rig on the side of the thigh the blasters slot into. I'd post a pic but I'm on mobile now.

Just an update as we continue to lay out the basic body shapes:

Update. The grip and trigger guard is a crappy placeholder, we realize that part isn't proportionate or accurate yet. But it's beginning to look like an actual blaster!

Re: Ep 7 Stormtrooper New Blaster Build (Pic Heavy)
Update!
Initial body is complete. TBH, it's kind of a mess at the moment-- the proportions are off (trigger guard way too long, grip is all wrong, etc) and there's details missing or out of place. But it's our baby, and we're going to keep working on it till we get it right
Also, keep in mind we are trying to match the "screen-used/Hero" rifles and not the ANOVOS replicas that some of the 501st were allowed to borrow during Celebration. There are a number of differences between the two so we're defaulting to the screen look, abd where there's missing information (due to lack of reference photos from those angles), we are "filling in the blanks" so to speak with pics of the replica ones.

Let me guess... the SOCOM variant with the tactical stock, right? We gotcha covered, Jim
TBH... it IS pretty long (giggity) The real issue is that the grip is WAY too small on the model currently, plus the trigger is in the wrong spot. We are aware of the issue, however, and recently discovered a photo of the rifle lying down NOT being held in someone's hand, so we finally have an idea of how big everything is supposed to be down there (giggity). It's one of the major revisions Mike is doing as we speak.
No, it is... I think Mike modeled the folding stock off the ANOVOS replica ones, seen here, which have pretty bulky stocks:

As you can see (even from the offset angle) the screen-used blaster stocks are noticeably slimmer/sleeker. We told Mike to always default to the screen look but I think this part just slipped through the cracks. We'll get it ironed out in the next round of revisions. Thanks for confirming our suspicions, however!

Is the trigger guard really that long?

Well, we've got the grip and trigger guard looking better, but as soon as we solve one issue, another pops up... the body is way too long! The "Hengstler counter" and such all need to be scooted back more so that they are more in line with the end of the folding stock sort of... hard to explain.. anyway, here is what we have so far until we can make those changes:
PM sent.

I'll be looking for one of these bad boys with great interest... especially if you're offering these in something sturdy!
