There is a great deal of discussion with the recent release of the fabric swatch by LFL licensee Topps as this contradicts this claim.

They’re real costumes, not statues. Also, the shirt doesn’t appear to have a hood on it. At one stage, you could see the top of the collar from behind.

Wait. You mentioned those real costumes from the premier.. are you talking about these??

Hope this helps

If so I get what happened! These are Disney guys. :) The costumes are "Parks costumes" I originally thought they were anovos. I had a long in-depth conversation at the premier about them. They are about as accurate as Kylo here ..which isnt accurate at all :/

They let us hang off of them and touch them all over the place. I promise there is a 0 percent chance that would happen if that were a real costume.

Sorry, but I'm far more inclined to go with fabric from and LFL licensee than your opinion... unless you have some sort of LFL credentials you'd like to share with everyone

Again, as posted in the pants thread... the gloves are leather... the shirt and pants are not. Can't cross reference two very different materials like this when building a CRL. Sorry

I believe you missed my point. I was showing that they put the wrong fabric on the card sir....


The shirt is a coated resin cloth. Its fabric

the pants are a neoprene coated resin cloth. Its fabric

the glove are leather.

I never stated otherwise :)

My point is that the card may be a part of a total design wherein the exposed parts are gaskets similar to how to FOTK is built. We are looking into all resources and options.

My other point is that using a leather texture that has been photoshopped to show a colour change does not do anything to support the kind of fabric that has been used.
We are reviewing all available resources and are cultivating other possible leads to get as much information as possible. This is not a simple "it is this fabric, go get it now" matter.
