Very interesting... I think I still like the red color of the black-leatherjackets version better, but I could see combining elements between this one and that one.

Ordered these from the Disney store last week, I'll post a side by side review of these with the nerf versions once they arrive. Getting two blasters for $25 may turn out to be a sweet deal.

I wonder what size the blasters are compared to the Nerf versions? They may be much smaller.

They are 3" shorter at 9" long

My problem is being a large-short in sizes. Everything tends to be too-long, even when it fits right every other way. And with the Star-Lord vol1 short coat you want the bottom to be just above the blasters, not draped over them. I had to get a custom-sized coat to make that happen.

I was actually more curious about what people are using to make it.

Ok.. So synthetic fabric dye is the way to go?
That won't do anything to pleather as dye requires absorption to achieve anything. You're going to need a paint. Angelus works well, as would any fabric paint you'd find in a JoAnn Fabrics. If you're trying to age or darken, I'd get a dark brown or black and water it down, rub it in and wipe off excess.
I should have one. Send me a PM. I'll see if I can find it.
Leather...
There are shapes behind it that the leather is either pressed or sewn into...

Here's a quick shot of me wearing my Vol 2 jacket from www.black-leatherjackets.com! I opted for the real leather versus the faux in a size small. I'm usually awkwardly in between a small/medium, but this jacket fits me well (way better than my Vol 1 jacket).
The leather has a really nice patina to it and is very soft. Much closer to the colour you see on-screen. Interestingly, it seems it's closer to that new listing OliverQueen posted above from a different company...
Despite some minor discrepancies that prevent it from being totally SA, I am very pleased! I'll post a few more pics tomorrow, including some with my other 2 Star-Lord jackets from Vol 1 for comparison.

Oh cool! Ironically I got a bit inpatient and ordered a real leather one for black-leatherjacket.com that day. I hope my turn-around time is like the others, but we're heading up on 5 days and it's still listed as "processing" so I doubt I'll get it in 2 days.
Where did you order yours from?
I read that they made sets of blasters that were smaller (thinner I think they said) for Vol 2 so that they wouldn't be as bulky while holstered. Can't remember where though...
So I'm working on a new fun idea, seeing that everyone seems to love carrying around Baby Groot on their shoulder, I've been working for a couple of weeks on a very nice Baby Groot shoulder figure! I've been working on how to keep him seated, I'll print it once it's done and I'll play around with different ideas for him sitting down with magnets, let me know if you like the idea!
Second pic is next to one of the models that I've seen around for toys for comparison.

Totally dig it, brotha! I was gonna look into doing this at some point too, as the wife and I have plans for a new baby/toddler Groot Sculpt.
