Anyone planning on picking up the Target Helmets and "improving" on them?

So how many target stores have Halloween out. I live in central florida in the Tampa Bay area and so far, only school stuff in the seasonal section. I'm guessing any day now
 
Hopefully they get released again! We probably won't know for sure until the halloween sections are fully built out.
 
Yeah, no more waiting this year if it happens. Last year I saw 1 in the store, but didn't have my wallet. I drove back the next day, and they were all gone. And just a question regarding armor, one minor enough to not warrant a new thread; Can you use insulation foam as a buck to mold a piece of armor? I have the collar on a set of Mando armor done in insulation foam, but it's too fragile.
 
The tfa stormtrooper helmet has been brought up. Is this an accurate helmet or close enough? Any thoughts.
 
Not to sure if this means anything (hopefully not) but I have been seeing some helmets online but no boba fett. Even on the other sites like spirit Halloween and other seasonal sales, same deal. I see vader, kylo, and stormtrooper tfa but thats it.

Same here. Strange.

I'm pretty sure the Boba Fett helmet was more expensive to produce than the others. It has more pieces, colors, and moving parts. I got the impression Target told Rubies to give them 4 Star Wars helmets with a $30 price tag. They pulled out two new ones for TFA, and raided their existing molds to get another pair. The Vader is just 3 pieces and silver paint (they even left off the tusks and just used a spot of silver), but there was no getting around the way the Fett was constructed (I'm counting 9 pieces). I think it would be great if they brought it back, but I'm not surprised that we're not seeing it.
 
My wife works next to a target and she's Friendly with some of the employees. No Halloween costumes yet, but they are coming next week. We shall just have to wait and see. She was also told so stores may have stuff out, but if they do, it's last year's left overs. No stores have this year's stock available yet.
 
Vader was out last year. I didn't like it at all and without knowing any better, I let the look of vader shy me away from boba thinking if vader was that far off, boba must be as well. See what I get for thinking. Lol.

I don't pay as much attention to Vader stuff, so I never looked at the one that was part of this assortment, but I had never seen that Fett before. That was a brand new offering, and an amazing one, at that.

The First Order Stormtrooper helmet from this assortment is a curiosity, too. It's similar to the "deluxe" adult helmets one can buy online, but the material is far more sturdy, and the moulding and trimming orders of magnitude better. They're still about 15% undersized compared to the actual item, though, which is consistent with the other First Order helmets they've done. The sizing is so identical, though, that I can't help but wonder how the same company did all of those, and why there's such variance in a single "series" of four.

I knew I should have picked up more of the Bobas when they were $30... I can't believe I wasted the money on the Kylo and FO trooper...

At least it's potentially coming back.. I'm going to hold out a little longer in hopes by some miracle Target stocks them again at the $30 price point.

I LOVE mine, but I'd definitely like a chance to do it again more accurately.. Find out exactly what I've learned in a year..
 
I LOVE [my Fett helmet], but I'd definitely like a chance to do it again more accurately.. Find out exactly what I've learned in a year..

Heck, my plan is to do one up as Fenn Shysa and two as Supertroopers. *heh* I love these things as blank canvases for Mandalorian creativity. That level of out-of-the-box accuracy, and that little required cleanup/modification, for that price point? I, too, am dearly hoping these show up at Target again this year...

I would LOVE to do a Supertrooper. Seems like most people stuck with Boba from what I've seen, but I haven't really kept up with the thread sadly. We can both keep our fingers crossed for their return.

Thank you, you're too kind. The awesome work in this thread is what inspired me in the first place. :)
 
Ok, so to be clear, the tfa stormtrooper helmet is not the correct size. Is this true.
what about the kylo helmet. I was thinking about all 3 including the fett. Vader is not coming home with me. Not a fan at all, besides I already have the supreme rubies that I will modify.

Fett has already been confirmed to be close to original size from comparison photos. But what about the trooper and kylo?
