That Brick King

Arealight's Mando gear are pretty great, right? I have the Boba set (helm, jetpack, gun, vambraces(, with the UCS Boba legs Torso with printed arms. It really finishes off the character. I really need to get the Vizla figure set and Jango gear pack sometime.

I bought the figure itself from here, helmet included: https://www.bigkidbrix.com/product-page/mandalorian-custom-printed-on-lego-minifigure-star-wars It's currently sold out, and I don't know when they'll restock him.

I really don't see the ability to upgrade the Mando without using custom parts. I have a custom figure I bought a few days ago which has him in the Beskar Steel, although that's custom printed. I still need to get a better cape for him, and for that I'll likely order this custom one from CloneArmyCustoms: Here's my custom printed Mandalorian, with the Arealight Beskar helmet:

So, after getting the last arms I needed for my OT Stormtroopers, I decided to go back to the "drawing board" for a few of my older figures, such as the Shadow Guards and V-Wing pilots. I also decided that I didn't like my Special Forces design so I went and got them some new legs. I changed my Shadow Guards' torsos and legs to that of DT torso and legs, as well as a waist cloth and Black Imperial arms from FST. The V-wing Pilots now use regular Tie pilots' torso and legs to match the shininess of the helmet and face mask. My homebrew Special Forces stormtroopers still use the older ST torso, but with the newer ST legs. I also gave each of them a unique flesh colored head and a set of ST arms from FST, though I don't have any images of the heads atm. I gave my Range Troopers the new Snowtrooper arms, and they look amazing. I always liked the regular figure, but those arms just seal the deal for it. I also got the new Imperial Pistol (I think it's new) seen in The Mandalorian to go with a couple of my troopers, apologies for the semi crappy image at the end. I also included images of my new Heavy Infantry ST and Commander ST to go with all my others.

So FireStarToys just sent me an email, and they got a hell of a lot of new SW minifigure arms. Good lord, now I want to upgrade my army of 40 Death Troopers, 10 Patrols, and 12 Snowtroopers! XD

Yes they are indeed Arealight helmets. I originally planned to do CAC, but the molding design just didn't do it for me. Arealight I've always liked, so I went with them. Needless to say, I'm glad I did. If you're curious about the blaster, it's from BigKidBrixx. I was given a few extra of them with my last order of Death Trooper blasters about a year ago seen here: Kind of an old picture, as I have newer pauldrons from MinifigKat, which have the molded ammo pouches attached.

This is my first design of the purge trooper. Apologies for the delay, work has been killing me lately and I kept forgetting to upload. It's not screen accurate, but it's good enough for me.

So my first set of 10x Stormtrooper arms came in, and...wow. I honestly figured they didn't add enough detail to make it worthwhile, but wow....Now I have to arm the rest of them, so 24 left to go. The last of my black imperial crew arms also came in for my display, though I still need to buy 2 more sets for my Purge troopers. Also for those wondering, I decided to go with DT legs and torso for my current WIP of the purge troopers. Sometime after my next paycheck, I'll look into the helmets and pauldrons.

Damn....300 Stormtroopers. And I thought it would be expensive with 30 or so Stormtroopers XD Edit: I just looked that up, nearly $700 USD. Holy cow.

So has anyone tried out CloneArmyCustom's Snowtrooper backpack with the newer Snowtrooper helmets? I really want to know if they work with the helms. Also what's everyone's general thoughts on the Stormtrooper arms from FST? Are they worth the price? I'm also working on making some Purge troopers, with the upcoming release of Fallen Order, so any suggestions on the torsos would be great. I've already decided that I'll be doing CAC or AL Shadow Airborne helmets for these guys, though I'm leaning more to AL's version, as it looks so much better despite needing a red head for the visor.

I agree to an extent, but the arm really seals the deal, at least for me and for those who love TCW. Also the arm is flat at the arm hole, it's just I took the picture without realizing that it wasn't pushed in all the way. I really hope we get a lego version, like an official version, but I doubt it. And I agree, I really hope they have white sometime so I can give Thrawn his signature stance from Rebels.

Arm behind back is from Crazy Bricks, and unfortunately, they sold out of the black color. However, the upgrade does add a lot to the figure.

That last one would be best IMHO. The only reason I say that is that the second head I have on my Del for Inferno Squad.

I agree, and that's coming from someone who owns both of the new helmets. Overall they look better IMHO, and they will probably improve my rebel army ten-fold, but the ability to cheaply buy the older versions and the nostalgia factor will probably keep me from getting anything other than one of each unique print.

Funny enough, as did I. It wasn't until like last week that I decided to do some in-depth search, and I stumbled across it on a forums. Can't remember which one though.
