These super strong 15x5mm neodymium rare earth disc magnets make ideal closing fasteners for your live action role playing 501st Legion trooper uniform. You can use them for armor closure points behind chest/back plate overlaps, thigh armor, or shin guards. The hidden closures work without Velcro, snaps or visible screws but enable quick donning/doffing during events.
Helmet parts can be include secure detachable visors or faceplate trims or allow for swappable accessories or fan modules without visible mounts. Utility belts can have opening/closing drop-down pouches or hidden compartments. The magnets can also offer silent access (ideal for immersive LARP). Create weapon mounting holsters for blasters or sabers which can be attached to thigh or hip armor with embedded magnets.
The example shown is of a Clone Trooper, a white-armored soldier introduced in Episode II: Attack of the Clones. It is featured heavily in The Clone Wars animated series and related media. They are genetically engineered soldiers based on Jango Fett, and each has a standardized uniform with variants depending on rank, unit (like the 501st), or mission type.
We have sold NdFeB magnets since 1996 and N42 grade since 2003, the best value for strength & temperature vs cost. Don't be fooled by claims of higher strength, N52, at lower cost.

Clone Trooper kits differ in construction from other armor types like Stormtroopers or Mandalorians. The closures, seam lines where magnets are needed can vary. 501st Legion Accuracy requires very specific CRLs (Costume Reference Library standards) for Clone Trooper builds. Magnet-based fasteners must be hidden and screen-accurate.
There are a number of popular subtypes. These include 501st Clone Trooper (blue-striped armor) and Captain Rex & Commander Cody, ARC Troopers which can be heavily customized. There can be material differences. Many Clone Trooper builds use ABS vac-formed armor, which is perfect for embedding 15x5mm magnets due to its light weight and formability.
