greetings,
I've recently developed a keen interest to join a local garisson in the 501st since I already own a stormtrooper costume.
A few issues arose however, after reading several forums and other articles online, it became evident to me that there are more or less two distinct versions of TK's available. One being the 'ainsworth' design which is based on the original stormtrooper from the first three Star Wars films & the other is a replica made by 'lucasfilm'.
As far as I know the latter is typically not approved by the 501st as it doesn't meet the requirements. Are there any exceptions or should I be looking at the 'ainsworth' design if I'm to be approved for a garisson with the 501st?
