Black Series Boba Fett Helmet Announced

[benhs1898]

Jealous of you guys finding these in the wild. Fortunately, the street date isn’t too far off though.

TazMan2000 I checked in the system of the company this morning with the Sku# and the item is non existant.
So the store may not stock them at all, maybe a reseller will put some on the market place of walmart.ca, but I would recommend you to find a backup just in case. I'm still searching in Canada with no luck they are out of sales everywhere or in "pre-order stop".

Thanks, There are several other places I can get this, but some of the stores might not be open. There is always online.

I'll be honest. It may have symmetry fixed but it really doesn't look that much different in shape compared to more accurate sculpts. It looks very close to the Efx and MR in terms of general shape and size.

 

[Treadwell]

I did find a couple of places, as previously noted, where deco alignment is a little off.... there are even molded-in "chipped paint" areas that do not have corresponding color differences in them.

Tried it on...if I had been intending to costume with it, I'd have had to remove the liner to get it to sit low enough on my big bean. I have to tip it forward so that I can see.

I never realized the place the viewfinder comes down is no where near one's eyeball!

Anyway, mostly pleased!

Found mine at wal mart today

Any chance someone that has the helmet can measure the total height? I want to see how tall it is with the stalk pointing upward.

I’ll write this down. I’m suppose to help shoot a video of the BS vs eFX vs MR vs Sideshow vs a few others

Any specific questions please post here, I’ll make sure my buddy addresses them

Verbal21 and I did a little instagram live unboxing and compared them to the MR, eFx and our FPH2.

The helmet is very impressive. I was surprised how well it came out to be perfectly honest.

When is the actual release date?

I have 5 in my area and 2 had them out as a display with retro action figures on one side and black series figures on the other.

Is this how everyone has been seeing them

Not mine, mine were just thrown in the center isle

I should have taken a pic. Both were on end caps and they were the same exact display. Cardboard center shelf with a peg board on the left to hold the retro figures and the right side had the black series . It was a 40th anniversary display and was actually pretty nice

What day is the official release

 

[MClass]

May 4th.

 

[kevin926]

So the stores are either messing up and won't have stock on the 4th or they will be restocking. 2 of the 5 stores near me had them out. Only 1 helmet left and most figures sold out. The other had plenty of helmets and again, most figures gone

 

[dr_slurpee]

I’m guessing Canada won’t get them, same with the Ghostbusters Kenner Classics figures. EB Games may get the helmets or bestbuy (at inflated prices).

What day is the official release

Like I'd said earlier, I received an email from Best Buy about my pre-order, & it said the release date had been changed to April 16th, & I'd have it by May 1st.

When I check the order on my app, it says it's being prepared for shipping.

 

[russellsch]

This helmet looks superb! I ordered through... I can't remember. It was either BBTS or EE. Anyway, I'm in no hurry, so whatever. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself. In reality... God help me should I come across it in the wild, before mine ships.

Looking forward to seeing your comparison video Halliwax

Best buy for the helmet? Right? I'm actually looking for the retro figures displayed with the helmets. I did pick one helmet up.
