With that small Helmut they have and my large melon of a head... I would look like a reverse Bobble Head

I know next to nothing about the TK and would still rather repeatedly whack myself in the groin with a hammer than put that thing on.

Trent, this is beyond the mods to make the Rubies Vader helmet wearable. I think melting it down and starting over is the only hope for this mess.

So, did LFL sign off that? Who looked at that and said "yeah, lets go with that"?
Unbelievable....

It's a Rubies Halloween costume. What did you expect. It's for the folks who just want to wear it once and hang it up.
Plus you have to think of the dumbing down and safety crap I'm sure they had to put up with.

Greaaat...
Now I have to start fending off applicants wearing this suit?
I can see it now...
"What do you mean this armor does not meet the standards!"
"I paid 700 dollars for it!"
"You elitest jerk!"
... Thanks a lot Rubies.

Wow that is really awful...the helmet looks like the tropper has enciphilitis. That is sad that LFL signed off on that.

I don't know what you all are looking at . . . I think it's beautiful. And here I was going to use white craft foam to make my armor. . . .

I like it. It makes me hungry for Mashmallows.
I found this at a Spirit Halloween store...Wow, for their asked $750, I made fun of it in the store, and no one could there could understand why I didn't think it was awsome. They all looked at me like I was crazy when I said it wasn't very good.

Get a 501st TK to go in with you and try on the rubies... stand side-by-side... they'll understand then :p
