1st there is no comparison with this and the rubies costume.....NONE. Avoid the rubies one !!!!!
This is an awesome... read more product and was super happy when it arrived to me in Canada, I had to make a few modifications for the 501st but they were straight forward!
The armor is thicker than most (well thicker than my ANOVOS kit) and has held up well in lots of troops, despite people saying its a recast and he didn't make the molds.........it's a great piece. I changed the belt and the under suit neck seal and the gloves and made a few mods, I also added an iccom voice amp and hovi tip speakers in mine and fans, just give the kit a vigorous polish and it looks great.
I have had this for well over a year and had no problems !
