Japanese TV feature

This was on the heels of the Cable release of Star Warriors, the 501st rose parade documentary. Really cool.

So much good is building here, it is a truly exciting time to be a Trooper and a Fan.

I am proud 501st, but if I wasnt, it is still cool to see these events for the fan in me.

Well you are seeing three helmets actually and two sets of armor...

The CJ Vader shots are of my DPCA and GT small armor.. I just didnt care for the dome flair or the size of the armor. I later up graded to a JBV1 and that is what you see in all the Commercial shoot shots along with my set of GH armor.


The last Vader Fetured in the TV show shots is not me, Thats a freind here in Japan. GT older stuff and I believe he has a DPCA as well.

I love that shot of Slave Leia and Boba. I think its one of the best I have ever seen as well.

I forgot to mention that the shot of all of us and the lady inthe pink dress is a Up and coming film star here in Japan. I truly have been living a blessed summer in the suit. And it just keeps getting better. :lol

Awesome pics. I snagged the one of you with the cape behind you. It gives me an idea for my comic I'm doing.

 

[runnriottt]

They updated the main site... New commercials if you all want to have a look!
