Not quite, but it IS an Alien Galaxy Puff Adder from Reticulated Return Tops which I really love. I knew we were trooping with the X-Wing and wanted to just get some yoyo video in front of it and when my wife started filming I wished I had actually thought of a little routine. Could have put together better tricks but I was trying to do it quick and get back to trooping. Sloppy as heck and not very interesting but hey, X-WING! ---

Yeah I’m disappointed with my trick choice and skill - it all went so fast! Should have planned a bit better. Next time I’ll be better and maybe I’ll bust out a different character! ---

That one is sourced from Darth Hair FX and is completely screen accurate to ANH X-Wing Pilot. That costume is approved in the Rebel Legion (sister org of the 501st). I’m not good with sewing and Jeff does such an amazing job with the X-Wing helmet and box that I just sourced that whole thing. My favorite costumes are my ANH TK (classic Stormtrooper) and TS (Snowtrooper). Stormtrooper took the most work that was about a 60-hour project and I built that to the highest possible standards. Both of those are 501st Approved and active here in the Mountain Garrison where I am the GML. If you ever trade with me or purchase from me on BST you’ll get my trading cards! And if you’re interested in Star Wars costuming, I’m your guy! ---

I accidentally did a UFO trying to do a fingerspin. For some reason the response grabbed on that throw. Normally the Puff Adder fingerspins like a champ! I was just so focused on doing yoyo in front of the X-Wing and kind of self-conscious about doing it that I didn’t really put anything good together. ---

Haha! That’s actually my 7 year-old son! We were doing some upkeep on the X-Wing so he got to do some dusting up top since he’s light enough to not damage anything. He was SUPER excited to get to do that! ---
