Hello!
A bit of a creepy trooper, I guess it is a halloween trooper! Anyway, just a simple enough thing to put together, and also one of the last few troopers I have, there's a couple more but I'll be switching to force users for a bit, got a handful of jedi and sith, perhaps the ones where I've had the most fun putting together. With that said have a good rest of the week, friday is just a couple days away, have fun and stay safe!
Bit of a busy weekend this time around, nevertheeless I took the time to take some photos of this quite simple figure, nothing special as it is the usual kenner/hasbro stormtrooper armor. Originally I had made a black hole trooper but you know what happened, I thought of "what if I change this" and this is the end result, looking back I should have done a few things better like the kama for example and the positioning of the helmet and pauldron and also the hands, the hasbro robo hands aren't great but when I put him together I adapted and overcame a lack of hands, just minor things that I'll go on to change behind the camera.
Backstory
Imperial Artifacts Reclamation and Custody, a branch dedicated to the custody and reclamation of Imperial and Sith artifacts spanning centuries of history, it's a fairly unknown branch, typically known as "those weirdos" even by other members of the Empire. Their main goal is to gather and watch these artifacts and historical pieces in whatever location they may be at, not all members of the IARC wear armor, a special black uniform is worn by officers and researches while the guards wear a matte black armor with red lenses and a red kama with black borders. The way the troopers dress has earned them a few nicknames such as "Black Devils" and "Dark Guards" and even "Ghost troopers" this due to them being never heard speaking, obviously this has lead to many theories around them, some claim they are droids, others that they are a mysterious alien race that has earned the favor of the emperor and yet the most outlandish ones seem to be that they are actually undead, either reanimated somehow or the ghosts of soldiers long gone. Whatever they may be one thing is for certain, wherever they go an air of uneasyness seems to permeate, Stormtroopers and officers have reported ghostly sightings when they are around, voices and all manner of totally not normal things! Perhaps it is best to not poke around the IARC too much, who knows what they really guard.
