  1. TBH we were shock at the price set by Teespring. We wanted to keep it below $25. It's probably a combination of the shirt quality, print area, and colors. We will really try to keep the next round of designs below $25 maybe even aiming for below $20.

     

    UP - 5 slots remaining!

  2. I know Robert from MWA mentioned that some people put padding on the mask for their cheeks to help it sit right and also push the air downward more rather than up toward the visor. I only have fairly stiff padding on the top (forehead) and bottom (chin) but it keeps it comfortable. I've done a 5 hour set with taking the mask off once in the middle for a ton of water.

     

    Can you take a photo of the mask for reference? Thanks Krazach!

  3. I know environment is a big factor but assume you were inside a convention hall where climate is controlled, how long can you last in the full suit with mask on? I tried it on to get some photos for approval done and I did not expect to have such a hard time with the mask, balaclava, and the hood.

     

    I can troop for hours in my TK (did 4+ hours straight) but I can't imagine lasting an hour in the Revan suit. Any tips on making it more bearable?

  4. With Rebels just around the corner, I wonder if anyone out there's working on the costume pieces (armor, mask, saber, soft parts). Seems like a nice costume for C3PO owners looking to make the jump to a 501st approvable costume that fits their body.

     

    Here are a few reference photos that I started compiling as soon as they came out in case somebody out there is also interested in bringing this costume to life.

  5. Honestly can't say for sure, even after zooming it. But there seems to be a difference in color/tone where the mask area and where the skin/head would be, which tells me it's a mask (but someone can argue it's actually the helmet design so yeah still can't be sure)

  6. Hey! I'm getting my MWA next week. Did you get the standard or the deluxe one? Re: the boots, I already have the jack boots for my TI so I think I will be using it initially but I don't know, those boots just don't feel "SL-ish".

     

    I'm thinking about getting the Funtasma boot by Pleaser so I can use them for a future Jedi-related costume project. What are you getting?
