eFX SCOUT TROOPER HELMET LEGEND EDITION!!

Gorgeous! I might actually have to get on the list for one of those!

Oh goodness, that is something I am going to have to think about!

:O when can we pre order

Love it. Must have one. I hear its the most comfort as a trooper?

If I ever decide to get this I'll go with clean version. It's more impressive IMO. I'm also not 100% sure eFX will manage to offer a good weathering.

SUPER COOL! Anyone else here ever think that the scout looks like Ghost Face from Scream? Maybe it's just me. haha

Looking good!!!

PS I'll be at C6 so be sure to stop by the efx booth if you want to discuss any particulars or check out the helmet up close and personal.

Also my first thought!


Other Question:

Is there any Screenused Starwars-Helmet out there symetrical (except the ROTS-Vader) ?

Looks like a runnig gag that every helmet is asymetrical...

Looks nice. Cause its no Vader lid, i dont have any problems with the wrong material which is used for this helmet. A few questions would be interesting especially for us Non-US-customers:

Will both versions be available from EU-Retailers or just directly from eFX?

Are there any differences between the Legend and Limited beside the weathering?

When will the pre-order start and can you give us an estimate price on this helmet?

thanks in advance

All good questions, Darth Niob. Hopefully they'll be addressed.

If I'm not mistaken, it was stated after the Vader helmet, Legend editions would be available through retailers/distributors for EU customers. Though I have also read this weathered "screen accurate" edition will only be available via eFX. Perhaps Gina or Brian would like to clarify?

As for the helmet itself, overall it looks very nice indeed. However, I'm still not liking the visible fibreglass on the underside of the visor.

That is what I thought as well. But to be honest I'm not sure if to trust eFX stories anymore. Hopefully at least the clean one (which I could be interested in) might be available elsewhere as well. But as usual with eFX we could find out it will be not...

They look nice, but in my humble opinion the weathering on the weathered option needs to be improved upon, it looks quite a lot like rattlecan overspray to me, I hope this can be seen as a constructive criticism as these helmets look amazing, I just think that particular finish could be improved to reflect the greatness of the piece

You're not alone in that regard. It's becoming increasingly difficult to believe anything said, as there have been numerous contradictions in the past.

I'm inclined to agree. Rattle can over-spray was my first thought also.

The originals had rattle can overspray hence the same on this. Also ya may get a better response if you don't call Gino...Gina.

Nice work again Gino as usual. Glad they got you on board.

Looks like they just used a black spray in some spots

Every time I see a screen-used prop, my mind gets blown at how quick and dirty they're built. "We need to weather this!" "Just mist it with this spray can, and do it fast!" :P

Great job on the replica, it's spot-on.

Yup and on camera you don't ever see it

Wow! Yet Another Win!!!

Nice work guys!

Sorry, total piece of crap. Using anything other than the original production materials is not what the legend line should be about. I would rethink this and start forming. Seeing the glass strands on the inside of the parts makes it look like a 5 year old's art project.

Well, that's one opinion from some anonymous newbie. These have to hold up and be somewhat more durable than the originals and frankly, the originals were obviously cobbled together.

Best Scout bucket you will ever get with the best provenance.

Maybe I am a newbie, but laying claim to using the production molds that were vacuum formed and then making silicone molds to produce fiberglass is not a cast-from-original as it really claims, is it? Be it the best ever made does not remove the label that it is not what it claims to be.

Form them, assemble them, hide the seam and then paint them. That is how the originals were done. That is how the legend line says things will be. This is claim this helmet cannot live up to based on the literature.

This type of helmet that is very accurate to the minute detail when making it is the LoneWolf Scout helmet. It may be not from original molds, but it is indeed made the same way and same materials ILM guys made their helmets for ROTJ. Thus IMO LW is already better than eFX
