[Jon1701]

Anyone seen these yet?

Apologies if these have been posted - but I've not seen them yet.

Look good.

I don't think I've seen them yet, either. These are the Official Stuff?

 

[Jon1701]

Well the company is pretty reputable but I'm not sure. Forbidden Planet is an awesome store.

Was there ever an "official" uniform maker?

I've seen several different TNG/DS9/VOY and TOS uniforms in the past.

I guess "sanctioned" or "licensed" would have been better words.

And I have heard about Forbidden Planet's awesomeness. Whatever else gets planned for the day, the TrekBBS London meetups usually seem to include a stop there, followed by showing-off of new toys.

 

[Jon1701]

^ Ah, yes. Couldn't find the words.

"Officially Licensed Product" would probably be the correct verbiage.

I think they're just early versions of the Halloween costumes.

I'm still buying one though.

 

[Ryan Thomas Riddle]

These are the licensed Rubies uniforms that'll be coming out.

 

[PixelMagic]

I've never crossed the nerd line of dressing up, but these seriously make me want to.

Will they be out by the premiere?

Caaare-ful. Rubies has had good prototype photos in the past, only to deliver shit products. It's pretty common with them.

Or, to quote someone from another board, "Rubies has three levels of quality: crap, slightly more expensive crap, and really expensive crap polished so much it shines."

Anyway you look at it, looks like Halloween 2009 is taken care of.

In this case, the prototypes do not look good - at least, not accurate.

It could be the lighting. I know I'm seeing what you are, I think it could be
the lighting or they over-did the texturing a bit.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

I don't see any texturing at all. Aside from that, they missed the contrast facing on the shoulder seams and the open collar doesn't replicate the TOS collar effect at all - the model seems to just be wearing a plain black turtleneck.

Aside from possibly the braid, not close.

According to the Rubie's website, it's a dickie. So not even a full turtleneck.

And yeah, it looks like @$$. I just didn't feel like getting into an argument with any of the people who think it looks great.

 

[K'riq Sa]

Not to mention don't expect it to ship before...
Expected on Friday 31 July, 2009.

[Kirk1980]

Yeah, Rubie's is a nice bit of ripoff.

You're better off finding out how to make your own or having a friend/relative who's good with sewing make it for you.

On the large version of the first link I can see the texturing, etc.

Oh I see, that's not texture afterall it's just... flat.
Kind of like a print on pattern.

Rubies has a habbit of being dreadful. I only just noticed these on FB's site today. There are far better costume makers out there though.
