Hi everyone - since I bought @TeaJay's KOTOR Nihilus I figured I'd introduce myself. I've been a member of the 501st Legion since 2016, and between the 501st and the RL I've got roughly 10 costumes. (Favorite to wear: TIE Pilot. Favorite for fan reactions: ESB Boba Fett.) As I mentioned in the other thread, I've been thinking about a Nihilus costume for a while, so I couldn't resist when this came up.
I'm hoping that with some minor alterations for height I will be able to get this costume approved. I do have some questions, since the CRL is in the "Requires Legion Approval" category. @DarthValkyria, if you'd prefer that I ask these questions in PM or other format, just let me know.
1) the CRL just says "plain black boots". The photo shows tall boots. Would shorter "Chelsea" type boots be ok, since all that should be showing is the toes? OK if they have those stretchy side panels so you can slide them on?
2) Obviously Nihilus needs a saber! "The hilt resembles one of the Knights of the Old Republic II single bladed lightsaber hilts." Any more detailed guidance on this? Resembles it in what way?
3) Once I've got boots and alterations done, what's the approval process, how do I get it in front of the LMO? Do I submit to my GML, and he runs it up the chain, or something else?
Thanks very much. Looking forward to working with everyone to get this approved.
