I see people here making comments about ANH, ESB, ROTJ armor.

What are the differnece between the three?

I picked up a set a while back and I am wondering which it might be.

Thanks

Well that was a nice descriptive site.

So the only changes were in the helmet and the ROTJ had a raised rib around the chest and back.

Aren't the hands different?

Also the set I have I got from a guy in Pensacola Florida, named Glover or Casters, Inc.

Although I didn't pay a lot for the armor, I still was not happy with it. He took my money, guaranteed if I didn't like I could return it. I ended up with two left legs and no right leg. Plus no decals for the helmet as promised or instructions.

Then the guy vanished. Anybody recognize this crooks name.

Just a warning to others. I'm not really looking for him. More curious to see if he's known here.

Oddly enough I got a message from a guy in Japan that said he got a suit from the same guy and had two right legs and no left leg. I sent him my address and suggested we trade but I never heard from him again.

So what I am looking for is some one who might be able to get me a leg of similar type.

I'd say this is .060 styrene vacu-formed pulls.

Email if you can help or just post information here if you have any.

Thanks

"Then the guy vanished. Anybody recognize this crooks name."

I have not dealt with M.G. for product, but I have had a little "difference of opinion" with him a time or two. His reaction to my opinon was not exactly what I would call mature. Several other people have had run-ins with him with mixed responses. I generally don't hear good things about him though.

You could try Jeff Allen. He might have some spare parts lying around

I think you're right in that the plates on the back of the hands did change through the three films. Didn't the shoulder bells change in ROTJ as well? Anyone? Mr trooper?
