To start, I'll admit that I didn't read all 7 pages of posts... so if something was discussed already, forgive me :) A couple of things I noticed in comparison of CRL pictures to the one that was very first posted by Jester to start this discussion: 1.) robes don't even look velvet/velveteen. 2.) th...

Well done!!! It looks great!!! Have you tried it on yet to see if it fits and everything? You did a great job on it!

Bummer about your helmet :( When I purchased mine I'm pretty sure I was an absolute wreck stressing over whether it would come damaged, or not fit, or anything like that. I got mine off of ebay (wouldn't recommend it, even though I got lucky and it passed). I know FP makes them, but there's another ...

I know that there aren't any levels... do you think we could take down the term "level" in the CRL's than? Just so everyone knows? And just label the red boots, blaster, etc. as "optional", instead of levels?

I've seen loads of possibilities, however it's always in women's boots (probably because guys don't go walking around in red velveteen b...

I have basically those same boots. My robes are long enough to conceal where the tops are so it wasn't a big issue. I did color in the bottom soles of them with a Sharpie so everything was black and not brown and black. They passed, and they're actually really comfy!

Has anyone on here tried using a Camelback water "backpack" under the robes and up through the helmet to stay hydrated? I was contemplating buying one to try, but I figured before I go out and spend the bucks only to not have it work, I'd ask on here. I wasn't sure if it would stick out in...

I went through FP. Great costume in the end. Only ordered the soft parts from them (helmets were a little out of my price range). It did take a little long, but keep in mind it's custom made, so that takes a little extra time. The actual mail time wasn't too bad though. Coming from Argentina wasn't ...
