TD-1536 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Are these guys 501st or Disney staff? Kinda curious about their gear. It looks like some of them have hyper-firm MG-34s. And these three Clones don't look familiar either. Are they Disney staff with custom gear? Anyone go and take pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyranus Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 They still have the wrong knee and ab plates, and have drop boxes with no belt pouches. Also, look at the weathering on them . . . they are all almost the same. Also, check out the strap going under the boot on the one standing by the Jabba's Hutt sign. Is that some kind of strap to keep it on?? I'm betting they are Disney. "They don't know the POWER, of the MEPD." lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-1536 Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 I was pretty confident they were Disney, but not 100% sure. I'd like to see the backpacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SethB6025 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 It looks like the Disney armor to me, even if they aren't perfect, at least they have sandtroopers. I too would like to see more of the packs. Also, it just occurred to me that the guy who re-did the Disney trooper armor frequents the RPF, he may have gotten some pack knowledge from MEPD.net as well. The MG34 is definitely a Hyperfirm.

Tyranus Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 They probably asked for stormtroopers and got them, then DISNEY-WEATHERED them to be sandtroopers, not realizing the smaller, more subtle differences there are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muad'dib Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 You have to admit that MGM's troopers have gotten MUCH better over the years, though. The TD's look like they've been patroling a Little-League field. I know who made the Clones but it seems like it's a secret. He sold some of the extra parts and damaged pieces a few months ago.

bearden6521 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 My co-worker was just down there for a week. He was at the SW weekend event and videoed the parade. I'll ask him if he took "photos". Of the footage I saw, the stormtroopers looked like ROTJ and kind of wonky . Anyone go and take pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper Of Doom Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Heres a pic of one of the troopers from the disney in SoCal, their armor looks very similer. http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/5876/di...eningdayzo5.jpg The trooper in this pic is also an SCG member.
