Black Series Boba Fett Helmet Announced

[Inquisitor Peregrinus]

It's really odd. If you Google "Hasbro Black Series Boba Fett helmet release date", what comes back from everywhere is May the Fourth. I'm curious why Best Buy is sending it out before then. Doubly curious why EB Games up in Canada released it on the 17th of March. Their website says "not available", so I'm wondering if that got shut down fast. Mine is on order through GameStop -- which is the same company as EB Games, but the American version -- anc I'm getting it on the 4th of May and no sooner.

May 4th isn’t that even earlier then the original date?!

 

[Halliwax]

Looks really nice

Pretty sure it was always meant to be May the 4th. When it was originally announced it was "Spring 2020". Which when it comes to Star Wars can only mean May the 4th.

For the price it looks good...but you see on the first look that its a toy and not a replica.Shape looks too narrow to me.

Look how wrong the weathering is painted on the 300$ one...

Maybe I'm just seeing what I want to see, but is it just me, or is that a little bit of bend/wobble in the brow, right in the middle of the red blob of paint at the front of the visor?

As there should be (if it is in fact there).

When I first placed my pre-order on Best Buy, the release date was March 30th. After about a week it was updated to May 4th. I went on last week to check something else & I was asked if I wanted to change my shipping to free & a May 1st delivery date.

Best Buy is kinda weird. I've ordered SEVERAL things over the last few months, & about 25% of the time, I'll get an email saying that the item has been delayed, cancelled, recalled, or something along those lines, then the item shows up, either right on time or a day or so early.

Like my dad used to say, I'll look for it when I get it.

Why did I think this was fall of 2020?!

 

[Fett_Ish]

Wow, for the price it really looks great.

Lens to close can give that look. No where else it looks narrow.

Right, that's what I'm saying. When it was revealed, the consensus was that it had been entirely straightened. Not sure based on that in-hand.

Okay, I'm starting to dislike Amazon.de. This was second time they cancelled my pre-order for this helmet:

Comparison of the EFX on the left and BS on the right. Interesting.

 

[Peacefrog35]

EFX is more accurate as far as paint and the BS has a visor that is too large at the top. It is still really nice....especially for the money.

 

[Filandrius]

Indeed. They're surprisingly close, especially when you consider the difference in price.

 

[Aliaz]

Looks really good, had to preorder.

 

[Peacefrog35]

Looks great. Does the paint look more like PP3 than ESB?

 

[McGarnagle]

Some better footage of it.

 

[Aliaz]

Can’t wait.

I wonder how people are getting these when the ones who ordered direct from Hasbro haven't. Could really help soften the quarantine cabin fever right about now...
