I know that Adam also commissioned a Chewbacca outfit from Duck over on the Rebel Legion forum a couple years ago. Was some pretty impressive stuff.

I've always had to wonder, how the heck does he find people to buy these things from (like Duck, or, as mentioned above, Terrys)? Does he just stumble upon them through a Google search or what, or someone else tells him about these sellers, or what? :P

It was his "incognito" costume at San Diego Comic Con this year!

Post by: Aysel on July 19, 2013, 09:10:37 PM: yup, but being as big of a star wars nerd that he is, I wouldn't be surprised if he does a full Akbar costume

Post by: Blue Leader on July 24, 2013, 11:11:53 PM: He should start selling some pulls of that mask. Hint hint. :P

Post by: Terrys on July 25, 2013, 12:35:23 PM: The foam head he is using is the same one he traded to me. (copy off of it) It's cool. Here is a picture of it in my mancave. I have it stashed away. Some year, I will make a mold for it like he did.

Notice how it goes wayyyy down the back....That was a key for us it was actual. Detail goes too far for anyone just repping it. Also the eyes missing as these were animated parts. Nobody would do that...or haven't ...YET.

Post by: Blue Leader on July 25, 2013, 03:02:39 PM: Actually, someone in the Rebel Legion supposedly has an animated Ackbar mask. I'm not sure if the eyes move or not, but the mouth moves when they talk. I can't remember if I've seen pictures of it or not...
