I don't see a thread where a CRL discussion is taking place? The CRL Discussion thread on this sub forum is locked for posting, and I can't see any other sub-forum that discusses this. Can you point me in the right direction then please?

We saw some new configurations and updates to the Imperial Security Trooper in Andor Season 2. Let's talk about it? Over the next couple of days I plan to compile a bunch of screenshots and info I can find on these changes. But for now, maybe somebody already has something in the pipeline

Just by this picture alone, they're all different. This got me thinking, so I did a quick breakdown of the Troopers as they get off the Shuttle Ramp Trooper 1 "Benzi": Rank Stripe + Radio on the Right side of the Chest, Trooper 2: Chest Rig + Radio on the Left, Trooper 3: Different lower belt with no Chest Boxes + Radio on the Left (I think this might be the guy wearing a backpack?), Trooper 4: Chest Rig + Goggles + Backwards officer cap + Seemingly no Radio at all, Trooper 5: "Standard" + Radio on the left, Trooper 6: Missing Shoulder + Diagonal bag + Radio on the Right, Trooper 7: Beanie + Fanny Pack + Radio on the Right, Trooper 8 "Gharial": Chest Rig, Rank Stripe + Radio on the left The same configuration doesn't appear twice. I think the best approach is to do what IOC did with their CRLs for a while: If specific accessories are chosen, the whole costume is to match the appearance of a character from an LFL licensed source.

I mean, doesn't every member on that team have a unique configuration? Hardly seems like a reason to disqualify this

I can't say I agree about zero weathering. Look at the bicep, or the raised box near the bottom of the torso. The bottom of the skirt too (4k cap, you may have to open in new tab to zoom in) Scuffs on the bicep, scuff on the chest, lots of wash on the shoulder straps, weathering under the chest buckles Wash weathering in the ridges on the shin straps even! The ones at Luthen's gallery are kinda nasty The Hospital ones are pretty clean, but they are weathered lightly too.

The text suggested by Tarrif mentioned Weathering and I think we ought to include this here too. As far as I can tell all suits have light to moderate weathering on them?

Hooks appear to be present, as per slide 5 on here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DJquT1zoekb/?img_index=5 (It's pretty small, and due to the compression barely visible, but yeah, you can make out a hook on the right side of the picture) Similarly, you can see the fabric texture pretty well on slides 1+2

That's a big reoccurring theme with original props, especially stuff like Belt Boxes with casting bubbles everywhere and such

Surely it's this is a matter of "hat is a poor fit on the wearer, thus causing a different shape" kind of situation? An Imperial Hat from Andor went up for auction a while back and it simply has an "M" label in it. It's also from HeroCollection, implying it was reused from Rogue One, where the hats were originally supplied. https://imgur.com/a/l60kGQ6 Hat pictures here. Also as a whole, the hat should be optional? Some troopers don't have a hat at all, some have what looks like a rolled up beanie, some have just the goggles

I ended up adding some more photos that have since leaked out

Found another angle, so the S2 Armor option has All black armor (like Ferrix/Ghorman) and the shins too. The buckles on the shoulder strap aren't silver.

I'm pretty sure that's how they've been since Solo?

I think Astara is trying to say that the color grading made it indeed look green when it wasn't

Feldgrau is actually a really good call. Since we know the color on the officers, we can also compare against that! The Army Trooper is visibly browner than the officer uniform.

In Andor S2E10 we are introduced to a new Mudtrooper Variant. The costumes were remade for the Andor production and at a glance seem to match the Solo Mudtroopers, with some changes. The jackets and pants appear to be the same as the Army Troopers we see across Andor S1+2. The gloves are different. Lear's armor has the M16 Bandoleer, which is already on the Mudtrooper CRL. We also get other Ammo pouch types. A new blaster option with the TL-50. We don't get to see any helmets in this sequence. A piece of concept art has the Imperial hat with goggles, but nothing in the show itself. Reference gallery here: https://imgur.com/a/rDeGQqy
