KL is a great guy!! I've gotten lots of good advice from him while putting together my lifesize SW collection especially my Vader. He always told me that if I was ever in Hong Kong to let him know ahead of time and I could drop by his place. Its too bad he decided to get out of SW prop/lifesize collecting, it is a VERY expensive hobby. I was lucky enogh to be able to buy a few great pieces from him when they were up for sale. Most of the lifesize stuff with the exception of the Ep.II yoda is completely fan built. By fan built I mean cast off a licenced replica and then tweaked a bit to make it more accurate. Like his stormtrooper for example the helmet is said by many a reliable source to be cast off a screen used piece. KL is a stickler for detail as am I, and most of the officially licensed helmets are way off from the originals, due to the many copies that have come out of the molds, so thats were the unofficial underground market comes from. Sorry for my rant guys, its just really cool to see my two hobbies, DVDs and SW/Movie prop replicas cross paths!!! Take care all
