While I do have a few minor issues, overall this is the coolest costume ever. I was mobbed for pictures from kids and adults as I took my daughter around for Halloween and at a party. Suit is very HOT inside and weighs about 15 lbs, prepare to sweat allot even on a cool night. Armour looks pretty much exactly as shown. Fits basically as stated but may work better for someone taller, I'm 5' 8" and the leg armour and arm armour slid down a bit making it difficult to bend the knees & elbows at times. You will need help getting dressed in this suit. Do not wear running shoes if possible with this, you need ankle boots or better to protect your ankles/top of foot from the shin pieces digging in after walking or standing for a while. You can not sit down in the suit, backside, cod piece and thigh pieces are not designed to allow great flexibility at the hip. Don't try to drive in it, if going to a party get dressed at the party. Armour cleans up easily and scuffs can be removed easily with the "magic eraser". Helmet is a little thin and needs much better padding or filling in order to sit properly on your head, the sponge is too week and the helmet fall too low blocking your vision. Eye lens distort the vision a bit. Even with these small issues, I really love this suit and already have people asking to borrow it for their kid’s birthday parties.
While you might not be able to join the nerd army that is the 501st, you will still be a Stormtrooper in the eyes of 99.9% of the population. Girls will want to take pictures with you and you will look cool. The only downsides are the limited mobility the armor allows, but a little modification can fix that. Also. if you fall over you will need assisstance getting up. But who cares! You're a friggin Stormtrooper!!!
i bought this item thinking it was going to take a long long time to arrive, seeing as though im in Australia. but no! it came in four days later! the jump suit and gloves are made of fine material and could fit most people. being 19 i am quite short for the suit but it still fits over me, just making it even more hard to move.... the leg pieces lock your legs if you try and sit down but still adds to the comical aspect of the armour. best for just randomly poping in and out of lectures to the dismay of the professor involved, its a great costume top quality, only thing is it costs a whole bunch for what its made out of. yet thumbs up from me :D
They are portrayed in collective groups of varying organizational sizes ranging from squads to legions, and, for some, their armor and training is modified for special operations and environments.
Initially, the stormtroopers serve as the army of the Galactic Empire, putting down revolts and establishing Imperial authority. The Stormtrooper Corps swell in size after Palpatine allows the addition of birth born recruits and conscripts alongside the clones.
The troopers' most distinctive equipment is their white battle armor, inherited from their time as clone troopers. The complete armor set completely encases the body and typically has no individually distinguishing marking (in contrast to the clone trooper armor, which typically had various colorings to denote rank or unit, stormtrooper armor has no rank affiliation).
The following is a summary of the production of the Stormtrooper costume for the movie called "Star Wars" (now known as "Episode IV: A New Hope" / "ANH") Employee Liz Moore sculpted a design for the helmet as did someone called Nick Pemberton. These designs were based off conceptual drawings by Ralph McQuarrie.
The armor pieces of the costume were also designed off conceptual drawings by Ralph McQuarrie. The production team at Elstree Studios including Brian Muir initially sculpted armor pieces for the stormtrooper costume. Preliminary moulds thus were produced in house for the armor. The initial plan was to build the entire stormtrooper costume out of fiberglass however the equipment on the studio premises had limitations. A working solution was difficult to achieve with the equipment available.
Through ongoing communications with John Barry (ANH Production Designer), John Mollo (ANH Costume Designer) and George Lucas (ANH Writer & Director), Nick Pemberton was presented the task of outsourcing the final production of the stormtrooper armor. Nick Pemberton shared this task with Andrew Ainsworth (Shepperton Design Studios) who later conversed directly with John Mollo.
The armor and helmets were manufactured at Shepperton Design Studios in England. The final molds produced and used for the stormtrooper armor and helmet in Star Wars (ANH) were hewed out of custom resin/metal composite by Andrew Ainsworth. The studio offered Andrew Ainsworth various plaster cast armor pieces for reference. A large vacuum forming machine which had a 15 ft x 3 ft bed was used for producing the armor and helmets. Preliminary production pieces were submitted for approval over a period of time. Some preliminary production pieces required redesign more than once before they were finally approved. Once approved, sets of armor were produced.
By the end of production, two different helmet were produced; one for the common stunt trooper and a second design for closeups. Fifty stunt helmets were produced in white-painted HDPE and six hero helmets were produced in white ABS plastic. Besides the material used, the two designs can be differentiated by differences in the eyes, the ears, and the mouth area.
The armor has also been the subject of light humor for years regarding its functionality. This is due to it making its wearer easy to see, restricting his movement and range of vision, and seeming to offer no real protection from blaster fire.
