Purge Trooper (Phase II) - Kenobi - Discussion

[nanotek[CMD-DWM]]

Recently the TV Show Kenobi showed an new version of the Purge Trooper (Phase II) which has some clone parts, but also has some differences from the original Purge Trooper from Jedi Fallen Order:

• Helmet - seems to be a combination of many different helmet styles
• Backpack - new
• Shoulder armor - I see some variation from the standard clone shoulder armor
• E-11D blaster - Weapon of the Death Trooper
• Boot Spats - new

Also given that the Clones have essentially been phased out during this time period in Star Wars lore, it could be argued that the character is not a clone but a stormtrooper with improved armor.

Lets start a discussion on what makes this costume Spec Ops!

These specialized troopers operated under direction of the Imperial Inquisitors they were assigned to. Within their assignments they either lead other Imperial units in eliminating discovered Jedi or guarded locations such as the Fortress Inquisitorius on Nur. Purge Troopers were highly trained in utilizing various types of blasters and melee weapons.

I would agree that these are not really clones, but usage of some similar parts.

Gentle Giant's 1:7 Purge Trooper 

[ScarifBeachBum[TX]]

There is a Purge Trooper Phase II builders group on Facebook with over 130 members in it right now.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/325055693163782

Lots more reference photos on there, too. Plus, Chris The Prop Guy on Etsy has completed his 3D model of the helmet and armor based upon the reference photos and the Gentle Giant release.

Yep I am a member, however if there is any CRL development it has to be done via forums. If there are references missing from here please feel free to add them here

[Blackwatch[CMD-DCA]]

While the pics are awesome, Mark is right we have to develop a official CRL through this process, not off-site with no oversight. 

[IcyTrooper[CMD-DL]]

Agreed that the shoulder armor is a variation. It is very unique to me, the ridging is reminiscent of like a Mando shoulder.

[tipperaryred[CMD-DCA]]

Supposedly the helmet at least was based off some of the Dark Trooper concept art that can be seen in the art book for Mando S2. Will post some scans when I get home in a week if they're any use. If anyone else has it on their shelf, feel free to upload instead.

[tipperaryred[CMD-DCA]]

I checked out the Mando S2 art book and the Purge P2 helmet was definitely taken direct from one of the rejected Dark Trooper concepts. Unfortunately there's only a single drawing of that specific one in the book, which doesn't really add anything to the references we have already.

So looks like we'll only get new material from a Kenobi art book, better views of the upcoming figure, or more behind the scenes peeks.

[GeneralSpeer[TX]]

A bit late to this party, but while not making the costume specifically, I am working on some of the soft parts, ie, the pauldron and kama.  The kama is going to be interesting as according to one of the stunt actors, the Purge Trooper kama has a similar lining to the Grand Inquisitor cape lining with a bunch of imperial cogs.  I am chatting with said actor who has been active on Instagram posting some of the BTS pics and trying to figure out if the lining is the same or if there are some varied differences.  

The secondary thing I am also trying to figure out is the connection method on the left shoulder of the pauldron.  This also may be illusive until better references unveil themselves but I can get a rough concept going pretty soon over the next several weeks.

I have an unassembled clone armor kit.?

There would be no problem using the regular clone parts for this build?

As long as it is realistic clone armour, then yes.

[tipperaryred[CMD-DCA]]

One thing to start on the helmet - in several references you can see a red glow at the back of the helmet, which at first I thought was just a glare from the base lighting. But in a couple of shots (such as above) it seems to be a replication of the white light above the red light seen on the sides of the helmet (see below). My instinct is still that it's just a glare, but I can't be 100%. Has anyone seen any clear detailing on the back of the helmet yet that would clear that up?

 

[nanotek[CMD-DWM]]

To me it looks like glare. Similar glare can be seen at the back of the shins in the first pic you posted

[Skablaze]

I'm currently studying the whole costume, but the softparts are a struggle.

The undersuit is different on each picture.

On the first one and the second, it looks like the suit is ribbed from the shoulder to the upper part of the forearm. It's sadly really hard to be sure.

On the third ( taken from the serie's propmaker studio), only the chest looks ribbed, the arm is completely smooth.

On the fourth ( taken from the exposition of genuine costumes at the Toy Sapiens store exhibition, thanks Hyuta Nihira !), the suit is ribbed on and from the chest to the elbow.

 

What I assume is :

- On the third picture, the suit wasn't finished

- On the fourth one, people that assembled the costume didn't fully and properly stretched the suit to the bottom of the arm, you can see that between the biceps and the elbow. They aren't very meticulous since they assembled the belt upside down --'

What do you guys think ?

[nanotek[CMD-DWM]]

My take on this (as I see this across other costumes) that there is an undersuit and then gaskets. The ribbing and smooth sections you are seeing is part of the additional gasket set.

[TX-20113[501st]]

I would like to get involved here. Going to start checking the references

I'm currently studying the whole costume, but the softparts are a struggle.

The undersuit is different on each picture.

On the first one and the second, it looks like the suit is ribbed from the shoulder to the upper part of the forearm. It's sadly really hard to be sure.

On the third ( taken from the serie's propmaker studio), only the chest looks ribbed, the arm is completely smooth.

On the fourth ( taken from the exposition of genuine costumes at the Toy Sapiens store exhibition, thanks Hyuta Nihira !), the suit is ribbed on and from the chest to the elbow.

 

What I assume is :

- On the third picture, the suit wasn't finished

- On the fourth one, people that assembled the costume didn't fully and properly stretched the suit to the bottom of the arm, you can see that between the biceps and the elbow. They aren't very meticulous since they assembled the belt upside down --'

What do you guys think ?

You can see different shades on the suit. Comparing to the images with visible ribbed texture i think, that every "darker" part of the suit is a ribbed section 🤔

Like @tipperaryred told, they obviously took the helmet from the mandalorian S2 art book. Is that the image in the book? I don't have it, so...

No, I think it's a different image but showing much the same. I think it was just a sketch in the art book, with very little detail. That's why I didn't take a photo at the time - it was very clearly the helmet that ended up being the P2 Purge, but it didn't offer any details. I'll take a photo next time I'm back with my books anyway to check.

Thanks for the reminder Anton, I lost track of this with everything going on late last year. Let's get back on track 👊

Id like to help the crl along any way i can. i have bought chis the prop guy new andor/kenobi clone files with the purge trooper specific parts. i will begin printing and post updates as i get them. also getting some custom red silk/polly fabric printed with the cogs for the kamas. after allot of research his new files look spot on.

I've found 3D printing files. What do you guys thinks about it?
