Ancient Sith Lords Rule the Galaxy......POTF 02-03.04 2022 Cologne Germany, (All Rights Reserved Lucas film Limited)
-
The Constant issue is always questionable to hold , who ,what and for how long.
Lets be Honest Darth Malgus costume Old Republic 2007. 2022 is a hard handle to get a hold of since Wicked Armor (Rob Rodgers) put a hold on production molds.
Year to year I myself improvise to maintain the complete armor, front and back models.
But must admit there is updated new models and formats appearing this year in 2022 on the Short mini video film exclusive threw (LFL)
If you hit the lottery, go for it, but honestly the character is awesome, but other wise hard to do without help or team, your going to be hurting, on time and space to get ready.
Average Malgus time is at least 2 hrs pre prep time with another person , (knowing and reliable) on how to get you dressed....
Please do not think it´s a vader Costume, nor comfortable to do event´s with!
"Darth Malgus" is original Prop Costume, if others wear it it´s a cheap fabrication.

Mrs, Marley i do apologize for my statements but they were real from the heart,
the tireless dedication towards Star Wars, should mean something to you. In that note and on true statement ,
S.L. 19290 feel that the Armor on Character
Darth Malgus" is not complete to standard terms. It is however acknowledged to me that Rob Rodgers has concluded the front template,
however i Have completed the back plate to all definition..... yet the T.F.E has not accepted in 2 times to the description, within a 2 year timeline.
After the manuscript on definition i do not acknowledge the result in terms, self on photo as a demo but yet have the finalization
2 BackArmor.......Seriously S.L 19290

Hi Nina, to effectively make certain changes to the C.R.L modifications, I can not do, I only can advise because of updating and building the props....I am not a GMO, however I can have a Back up adviser such as Chris, or Rob Rodgers from Wicked Armor from the merchandise that they sell.
With Darth Malgus costume it is a very complex issue due to the low attendance of members making the costume.
However, there are new builders from what I have heard that are also doing the animated Video Game Version of Darth Malgus....
Just from my part since im constantly working on the character prop, and have the original prop of 2 only made, I think its also better to keep pushing photos forward, so that at least someone from the T.F.E. has more added info to review and can make decisions from....
Regarding the Silicon Mask, as the C.R.L states that is optional, as the Under Wear Suit from Vader within the color content, Dark Grey or Black...
The most biggest issue that I feel that need´s to be stated is the Safety precautions wearing the costume, within meaning of heat exhaustion...
This is considered a safety precaution and should be mentioned within the C.R.L Guidelines. Which in a way is at least a fair warning.
Again I can advise, but will wait til I receive a mail on the Subject for updating the C.R.L.

The best one that I found out trooping only 2 times as Darth Malgus was standing next to another SL Vader as Anaykin series....
People really get confused with both of us with facial burns and scars wondering who the hell is who?
Until the breathing respirator factor comes in from Vader....lol

Just to add to this topic, has there been a updated development for the Legion within the T.F.E?
The C.R.L modifications to certain character standards needs a massive update, that includes the character that I have as an S.L.

Greeting´s MichMx, Darth Malgus Armor.
There is standard Props made bye Wicked Armor send a mail to Rob Rodgers, https://wickedarmor.com/.
Also a Builder called Plaigeous from Ireland is most former known as the Cos Play Actor for Lucas Ltd, in the Video game shooting´s, Old Republic! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCguDbIcGXrM1n7wWwzVotEw
Direct 3D schematics is a hard one to find but i combined mine in a run which i bought 2nd hand, then made my own templates peace bye peace and combined them to a Football Shoulder Pad to give it a total surround complete armor look.
the front was made bye Wicked Armor 5 years ago. Im not sure if Rob is remaking the product at the moment, there was a stop production stage they did last year, but its best to drop him a mail to see what is available....i know he still sales parts, not sure about the complete package.
about making a complete upper armor chest peace , front and back i would not advise due to the comfort and durability from heat and sweat, your going to have a hard time getting in and out, the more modification on heavy duty props the harder and more suffering you will go threw...the other factor is you need to make the material as flexible as possible for bending reasons . One stumble and that´s all she wrote like a T.K. uniform bang broke and your starting from square one.
The mid stomach section i re-modified with original real Leather Belt straps so you can bend and lean in, the older prop was a vinyl synthetic strips and it became like Rice Krispy´s, snap crackle and pop! its broke, not once but many times, so please do not fall into that pitfall prop trap.
with complete assembly for original prop and perfection your looking into a budget between 5-6 K at least.
Its also depends which Darth Malgus your going to do? 1 Veradun without the Facial Scars, 2. Malgus Sacking of Alderan, 3. Deception and destruction of Coruscant.
All 3 characters have different facial expressions and battle scars.
My Darth Malgus is the last one in the Deceived novel. But I can do a Veradun as the Apprentice
Darth Malgus is constantly becoming more Cyborg looking as well just Google him on photos and you will find many versions popping up.
However you still need to follow the standard C.R.L. guideline rules if you wish to become an official member of TFE or 501st depending what Squadron your looking into.
If it something that you want to do on your own then trial and error is your acomplishments...just beware you do not go to overboard and find out that all the work becomes not accepted and that happens often.
There are 2 Darth Malgus members that have the original prop costume, that is Dominic Repper from Tampa Garrison and myself we both have the original prop C.R.L Costume...
There are 2 other members from Texas and Virginia that have Malgus but a new edition in prop manufacture. Also there is the Under suite Darth Vader wear, Original Black or the Dark Grey Mesh....
If you need any assistance on further information just reply and I will gladly help.
On Video footage on how to make a complete Chest Armor send me your mail and I can forward the data info.
Hope this helps in a way.

After experimenting on certain back side armor proposals I finally finalized the back side Under Body Armor Suite for Darth Malgus.
The same body suit used for Darth Vader series but with flexible Armor Padding on the rear torso, and under legs...
Makes it easy to sit down and is completed for a all round look with the front Legging Armor....
Will be worn for the Special premiere at Speyer XII in Sinsheim Germany (29.09.19), photos to come....
Enjoy...Rep. Commando Slayer SL 19290

Just an update and photos on the featured Silicon Prosthetic Mask (Oneal FX Studios) made.
Depending on the make up material you can work wonders bye scaring the hell out of people.
Dripping Blood or Flesh Burn effects are the key eye opener. I try to do both.
Had my 1st Premiere troop and people are shocked, same with the Garrison. Allot amazed that even such a character exist´s.
Daniel Eghan (Rogue One TX) even spoke to me and stated Man I wish I could do that character, which he would fit the bill and mold totally because of his height proportion.
Feels good walking bye all the Vaders who claim the supreme leadership and get gas fazed when Malgus walks bye.....lol
Enjoy.

Greeting´s F.E.D. members or Sith Legends.
Just a couple of updates, New Respirator´s VS Old Respirator´s.
Here is the breakdown , Rob Rodgers still makes the Original format Respirator for Darth Malgus, and is working on a new silicon mask that is combined with the Respirator together, when it becomes released I will pass the info!
Plaegous from Ireland also made a new template of the Respirator, which I got to copy bye his approval and had made threw 3-D Print, it came out kick ass.
I can advise when purchasing the Silicon Mask bye Oneal F.X. Studios your going to have to re modify your respirator bigger due to the size of the mask. (length mainly) the old respirator will be to small and the chin will stick out.
If your rocking make up without any silicon prosthetic then the official old respirator sill suffice and do the job.

@ Ratchet, great to hear. Yes the Character is a dynamic Sith Lord, actually one of the most powerful of all within the story legacies that inspired Emperor Palpetine. Try to get the Book of the Sith to get detailed information on Malgus, or the Paperback Deceived, there you have great info on his characteristics, his issues as well envy and jealousy issues with Eelana. I get into the character because I actually almost live a lifestyle as such because of the respirator at night due to my snoaring and facial scars that I had received in Iraq threw O.P. Desert Storm in the 90´s. But enough about me, it´s up up to you how you bring the Sith Lord to life....
take care!.

To Reply to Ratchet, Malgus1438,Yankee71,
All responses are correct, yet I must admit I have purchased the mask that is listed and shown above on the You Tube Video!
Jeremy Oneal, Oneal FX Studios makes the Silicon Mask, your going to pay around $300-$350 with shipping and handling depending on where it is being sent!
About the Mask you still will have to use adhesives to glue the sternum and jaw and lip area, if you have a mustache or beard not advisable with the glue adhesive.
Depending on your make up skills you can make the mask look really awesome. There are 2 versions of Malgus as the Padawan before his injuries and of course the Battle of Alderan.
Malgus 1438 is correct that silicon parts that are glued at certain parts of the face is easier to handle and less pressure on the head, the mask weighs a good 2 & half pounds that is extra on top of your face.
For eliminating the sweating problem I used Silicon PVC Tubing that fit underneath the mask with air holes and 2 ventilators that goes underneath the armor around the belt area!
Completely removing the sweat is impossible, within 15 minutes without the fans your ear holes of the mask will start dripping water out!.
Trooping in the Summer with the mask is not advisable, im planning on a event this May of Power of the Force Con to see how it goes?
You will need an assistant to watch over you while trooping with the complete gear on especially with the Mask (plenty of water with a straw, do not forget the straw). For Make Up you need to use Camo Make up that is water resistant preferably Black around the Eye areas. for the Mask Oil Based make Up that is removable later. There are ways to cheat the air flow bye making tiny holes in the latex silicon mask at the top of its head, but you can see the steam coming out especially if your in a cool area....
Other wise it´s all trial and error, big issue when wearing the Mask you will need to put a Fan within the Respirator that you can wear as optional. I would advise while wearing the respirator built a fan in the mouth area so you receive enough oxygen and do not pass out.
Hope this helps!

I agree with Yankee 71!
Try something that´s less in expensive to start and become a member 1st within your Garrison.
Plaigus is a builder out of Ireland, has really top quality but you better have a heavy wallet. Another is Rob Rodgers from Wicked Armor.
Between the both depending if you want to go half the budget I would advise Rob Rodgers from Wicked Armor, they have the 3D templates.
With Plaigus, your going to have to invest in a package of a sum around 3-4 K depending on the € rate or $ rate!
Both will take time and have allot of patience before they even start building.
I got lucky buying a set 2nd hand because Darth Malgus was out of assembly for 2 years!
There are updated versions and original versions as shown in the Video game!
Its your choice wich style you want, Mask etc, or just Make Up!.
For the Mask is Jeremy Oneal from Oneal FX Studios in Ohio USA!
Or you can order Silicon peaces and attach them on the face, procedure 1-2 hrs time drying and make up etc.
I do not want to advise on topics honestly defeat the matter, but your really going to have to chew on it and ask yourself if you have the time,dedication and finance to take it on...it is not a Normal Trooper outfit!.

Hi Flagship Fans,
Just wanted to pass some Info on the Complete Front and Back Upper Armor Display for Darth Malgus.
The Original template is made bye Rob Rodgers from Wicked Armor. I purchased mine 2nd hand from a former member Kenneth Svingholm from the Denmark Garrison that was the official (C.R.L)! I designed the Back Side myself with updates and foam patterns to give it a complete look, under padding is a football shoulder pad peace, because the design from Wicked is not updated and complete, however they are interested in the design that I have made and would like to use patterns from the assembly. I scrapp´d the bottom mid section and used Leather belting rather then the Vinyl Plastic plating wich breaks easily, also to note with the leather belting it becomes more flexible to move and bend in If any modification problems accur with your set or your having problems with the armor please send a mail, I will gladly help if you need any advice! Enjoy!

Just to inform you on the spec´s for the Mask, there are 2 designe´s , 1 Prosthetic latex that are glue able with adhesive, wich is more comfortable , but time consuming to put on.
2 Complete Silicon Latex Mask less time to glue but also advisable to glue with adhesive on the chin brows and for head. (You will need PVC silicon tubing) inside the mask to stop the sweating, with the mask, within 15 minutes the water rolls out the ears all ready if you do not have it (believe me you need it), you definitely need a ventilation system built within the mask. also good advise make sure your respirator does have a fan in the front to supply you enough oxygen before you keel over and pass out!.
The Malgus costume is awesome, no doubt there, but with original props you will find it very hard to handle, it does become a battle , for actual trooping as a TK would do is not advised it is a premier costume.
You will need assistance to get dressed and need an aid to watch you in case you feel faint!
Fair Warning if you live in a warm climate, forget about trooping in the summer time, it is not advisable!
Hope this helps, and please do not become discouraged but be safe with what you put on!.

At the moment all modifications between Back and Front Armor are in process due to 2 series of definition build, including Vinyl Rib Cage armor which is easy to break, are being updated to Leather Belt straps, before purchasing any items or spending cash please be sure to research and wait until the CRL is updated! There are 2 builders Rob Rodgers from Wicked Armor and a Cos Play Builder from Ireland called Plaigeous mainly known from the You Tube Video "Darth Malgus" Costume Test Order 66! There are allot of new modifications such as Extended Upper Shoulder Blades, New Stomach Armor, Back Calf Armor, Leather Strap for the lower legs before the Boots, Original Boot Props are Milwaukee Leather Motor Bike Boots. Combat Hand Gloves, New Updated Facial Respirator. Silicon Prosthetic Mask etc etc List can go on, Im up to 5.5K right now and still waiting on approval! At the moment there is only 1 registered 501st member as Darth Malgus from Tampa F.L. Dominic Repper.
Just an update (22.04.19) I am Finally approved and must state that I have the Original 1st assembly CRL ever made from Wicked Armor! The model was made in 2012 and sold in 2013 as shown on the 501st CRL! I will make a New detailed List on products for those who are seeking the correct props to follow the character so that it become easier to get approval, but must state this is not a Prop character like ordering a TK uniform!
Good luck on your search......SL 19290
