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

Too bad Target fled Canada earlier this year like their ass was on fire. Would have liked to pick up the Trooper helmet.
 
Anyone know where I can preorder the Black Series Kylo Ren helmet in the U.S.? All my searches are coming up with UK sellers.

Had to stop by target a minute ago, and found the Kylo and trooper buckets. Even found one out of the packaging! Took forever to find a ruler, but here were my results:

Thanks for the pics NachyoChez. It looks like the two piece construction is more evident in your picture than the advertisement. What material do you think the helmet is made out of?

The two-piece construction is INCREDIBLY evident in the piece I held. There was a few times when handling it I though it was going to separate in my hands. There are roughly 8 pegs doling it together, and the glue they used on the padding was so pad it peeled off to every touch; I've little doubt they used the same glue on the pegs!

That said, the plastic itself was dense and felt decent. I don't have the experience to predict what the material was, but I can say it'll make a decent base - so long as you're willing to reinforce the two-piece edge and a lot of detail work!
 
Ill have some mod pics by tomorrow on the Kylo.

nice man can't wait to see what you do with the kylo helmet. I'm starting on the trooper helmet tomorrow. Debating on where I want to start.

Im almost thinking about waiting to join the two pieces together until a little further on. Will be easier for me to access inside for sure if inwait
 
I may slush cast resin inside to fuse the two pieces together or fiberglass it. Once thickened I can focus on the outside.

Well crap, I was going to run to Target and pick up the Stormtrooper/Fett helmet...But the above helmet looks a lot better than the Target one...

Exactly what I was thinking. I looked at the helmets last night at Target, and considered picking them both up. I actually just got ready to run and get them, but decided to check the RPF first. :p

From Spirit of Halloween's website:

Become a movie legend in the villainous officially licensed Star Wars Force Awakens Stormtrooper 2-Piece Helmet. Blend in with the rest of your First Order crew in this sturdy white helmet featuring breathable black mouth and eye details.

Officially licensed
Materials: 100% Injected molded plastic
Wash/Care Instructions: Wipe clean.​

Considering both Target and Spirit of Halloween are using the same picture I bet its the same helmet. Not sure whats up with the price difference though.

Well, back to going to Target. ><

Buy costumes has the more affordable price as well....Spirit is just asking a premium.
