Costume Changes/Approval

[Alay]

If you have a costume that is approved and make a??significant change??to the costume, you'll need to get that changed costume approved again.

A few examples of significant changes might include:

• Replacing your stormtrooper helmet with a new helmet
• Using a new version of the blaster or lightsaber you were approved with
• Adding a new major accessory to your costume, such as a pauldron, back piece, etc
• Using a new blaster for your costume other than the one you were approved with (IE: approved with an MG-42 on a Dengar costume, but adding a DLT-19)
• Replacing one or several pieces of your costume with bits of a different make/mold/seller

Examples of some changes which are not significant enough to need a re-approval might include:

• Expanding the gaps behind stormtrooper thighs to make wear and mobility easier.
• Adding a new minor accessory to your costume, such as a grappling hook to your ANH Hero stormtrooper, or an updated ammo pouch to your sandtrooper costume
• Repainting, touching up, weathering, or polishing up pieces of your costume
• Replacing your forearm costume piece on your shadow trooper costume with a new forearm piece of the same mold/maker.

Use common sense and best judgement. Re-approval can be as easy as sending some quick images in a PM to the GML, this shouldn't be much of a hassle and just keeps us honest with the CRLs. You'll only need to submit pictures of the changed piece of the costume; no need to resubmit entire dress shots.

If you're changing an entire costume, through either a secondary costume after buying or building, you will need to resubmit your entire costume for approval.??This counts as a separate costume from the original and requires approval again the same as the first costume.

Examples include:

• You have an approved ANH Stunt Stormtrooper costume made by RS, and decide to purchase a second hand costume made by Anovos.
• You had an approved ANH Hero Stormtrooper costume made by TrooperMaster. You decide to sell the costume, and then purchase and build a new kit of the same make.
• You have an approved Darth Vader costume by Anovos. A friend gives you a hand-me-down Darth Vader costume.

In all of the above cases, and similar cases, you'll need to resubmit the entire costume for approval.
