Black Series Boba Fett Helmet Announced

I can’t believe the fett is already going for over twice the original price. Hasbro seriously needs to make more.
That's how I justify buying every Legends and Black Series cosplay product. Even if they are technically not perfect and you can sit on them for a year and watch as they easily double in value.

It's funny how some of them get hot and others do down in price. I was able to get a new Stormtrooper for $42. On the other hand, a Kylo BS helmet goes for $180 to over $300 on ebay, which is nuts.


I wish I hadn't hacked up the front of mine with the intent of "improving it" lol.

Because of that, I don't want to do anything to my Boba helmet.
 
Finally got mine opened! Can't believe what they were able to offer for the price point!

The boba fett helmet is supposed to be super accurate so I can't imagine you would have to do anything at all.
Unless... a fresh coat of paint is your style ;)

As for hasbro making more...
Are you familiar with hasbro? They almost enjoy watching their customers or rather "potential customers" writhe in frustration trying to get products before scalperbots wipe out entire online stock. They don't understand supply vs demand equals money. For ****** sake if they would just do pre-orders and if 2 million people order a 100 dollar helmet guess what hasbro? Mission accomplished everybody wins but nah.
They would rather go "oh 2 million fans might want these? Let's make 200 and put them out to target exclusively"

Yeah I'm a little bitter lol

What the heck are you on about? I’ve been able to preorder every black series replica on pulse. I understand your frustration, but you also waited months after release to try to find one.
 
I'm going to be dusting off my HBS Boba thread in a few days, here, to comment on all the things I've learned over the last several months about it compared to the original. It's really good in overall size. Like, really good. The things they got wrong really leave me scratching my head at why they did it this way instead of that way, because the things they got wrong there was no reason to.

Yeah, I preordered mine on Amazon as soon as it was announced...



Also, fresh coat of paint Mando Fett helmet just announced.
 
I don't know about a surprise... I mean they already had the molds and demand for Fett is higher now than when the first one was released. Looks great although I prefer my ESB Black Series. :)
 
Surprise reveal today

Brilliant!

I was talking about hasbro as a whole with their products not limited to the buckets. I also collect their black series figures and marvel legends (and TRYING to collect the new 6 inch gi joes) its really frustrating.

But yeah hopefully this new deco Fett helmet is widely available. And thats exactly what I mean, will they keep making ESB deco? Doubtful. If you have it, keep it in your tight grasp like smeagol.

This is hilarious. I've had an unpainted cast Fett helmet for about 12 years (it's from the 'Lava' lineage). I was always too intimidated to try the accurate ESB or ROTJ paint-ups so I've been avoiding painting it all this time. Plus, I can never seem to find a list of out-of-the-bottle or can paints to use that are accurate.

I got the Hasbro BS helmet earlier this year and it's great- accurate enough for me and ready to display. After seeing Fett re-paint his helmet on the Mandalorian I dug out my unpainted cast helmet and decided I could probably tackle the new less complicated paint scheme.

It's almost seems easier to just get this new BS version......

Thanks The Mandalorian for looking out even for hasbro customers, forced to paint over their skewed paint apps. Now they too can have an accurate helmet!

I'm assuming it's for The Book of Boba Fett, which doesn't premier until about a month before that date. Unless Hasbro put up a placeholder date, which is also very possible. Either way, I preordered it as well.
 
Supporting my statement: the darksaber is sold out.
How in the kriff can you sell out of something that hasn't even been made yet???
I understand for like us folks here who do a run of something but this is hasbro! This is like Ford saying yeah let's only make like 200 mustangs.
Ughhh...
In related news the fett re armored helmet is still available as i type.

This also grinds my gears. So when tje show drops and people are like oh yeah I would like one of those helmets. Hasbro:"oh you didn't preorder a full 370 days ago? Sorry you have to buy one at double the price from a scalper now."
Eughhhh...
Makes me want to kit out a don post. Or even a rubies.
