  1. I didn't mean to say that that photo was of the COTF Nihilus. I was only trying to point out the logic behind my argument: that the current photo for COTF Nihilus is not detailed enough to make the assumption that there are only two ovals. Even that picture of KOTOR II Nihilus looks to only have 2 ovals, until you zoom in (because it's a higher resolution photo), and then you can see (barely) that there are 3 on each side. The COTF photo is too pixelated to determine the amount of ovals.

  3. So, I tried looking at pictures of the actual miniature to look for clues, but even with the high quality pictures, the ovals weren’t showing up, so I can’t tell from that either. To illustrate my point about the CotF box picture, though, if you look at the picture of Nihilus here (this is not the CotF version): https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Darth_Nihilus it is difficult to tell that there are 3 ovals on either side. It looks like 2 to me. But that picture is a high enough resolution that you can zoom in to it and tell that there are indeed 3 ovals on each side. That’s about all I have to illustrate my point. If we had a high resolution picture, it’s possible that the 2 ovals could actually be 3. The available pictures are just too blurry to tell for sure, in my opinion.
  4. The CRL states that there are two small ovals on either side of the center top large oval on the mask. I was looking at the reference pictures on this site and am wondering how that amount is known for sure. The pictures blur in that area, making it impossible to tell the exact amount. Is there another reference picture that was not posted here?
  5. Hi all! I am looking to put together a COTF Nihilus. From the research I’ve done thus far, it seems that most people go with WA, but I noticed some discussion stating that it is not approvble as-is. From what I’ve gathered from statements on the boards, WA has long ago fixed the issue with the robes not having the proper under tunic, but the remaining issue is that the mask has 3 instead of 2 ovals on either side of the center oval on the top of the mask. Is that correct? I’m currently in contact with my GMLs to hear back on their opinion of the set, but I wanted to make sure I was understanding the situation properly. My next question is regarding the boots. I have large calves and big feet, so it’s more difficult to find boots that fit me properly. I’m looking at a pair that has an elastic band running down the back to accommodate larger calves. Would something like that be acceptable, providing everything else in the CRL is adhered to? As for the lightsaber, where are people getting theirs? I’m currently looking at this one: https://www.etsy.com/listing/557189726/star-wars-kotor-custom-darth-nihilus?ref=hp_rf-2&pro=1 but I can’t tell if it’s quite correct. Thanks for any insight you can provide!
