Black Series Helmets - whats next after Boba Fett

Based on what I was told late last year by someone who works on Buena Vista, Disney and its merchandising partners will be slowly drifting away from the last trilogy and focus on legacy-related products. Mandalorian is included in that.
 
I think the only 100% confirmed one is Cardinal at Target. Both the FO Trooper and Mandalorian will likely be released, but there is zero information released on any of these aside from the initial rumor/announcement.

You are referring to this?

If so, it does not say it is the next BS helmet. It simply implies that it will be a future product.

Like I posted a last week, Yakface posted that they seem to have dug up poof that the Standard FO is going to be released:

However they seem to leave us in the dark as to what this proof is. Usually it is something from overseas shipping documents or a stores computer.

It's hard to say what is being released next. Even with the Captain Cardinal helmet announcement, they have not announced when these products are due. While some have been released for pre-orders. Some have not. If this GE branding is just a one shot, Then maybe we will see it in the fall and instead the Mandalorian will come out. If the branding is going to be somewhat long term such as new products being released over the next year, then maybe it will hit around May 4 2021.

The thing that hurt us with such info is the cancelation of Star Wars celebration and SDCC. These are often the times we get a sneak peak into products. With the X-Wing and Fett helmet, they gave use a long lead time (almost a year) and also made pre-orders available via multiple retails shortly after the announcement.

What I do think is that when ever the Cardinal helmet is released, it will be in very close to the First Order Helmet release. It just seems like it would be financially sound to produce them during the same manufacturing set up.
 
Cool looks like a new dome mold as i dont see the dent...or scratches... good on hasbro. Looks like a great starter DIY mando helmet too.

The dome is new and doesn't have the dent but the rest of the helmet does have the molded scratches and chipping. I have one and I don't mind that you can see the molded texture, it's a little weird, sure, but it's not all that noticeable and I still think that the helmet looks pretty good.

Now if only Hasbro would make a Holiday Special Boba Fett. If the regular Black Series Boba Fett helmet ever goes on sale I might have to pick one up and repaint it for the Holiday Special version...
 
I received mine and the weathering surface detail bothers me. Think I’m gonna sand the thing down.

The Mandalorian helmet is nowhere near the same shape as Fett.

is it just me or is the mando helmet compared to the fett one, more narrow? I can not find a visual comparison or overlay to confirm this but it's way different is it not?

It's absolutely more narrow. There's a reason they call Boba a bucket head. LOL
I can take some comparison pics of the Black Series Boba and My Mando later.

So a standard FO Stormtrooper should be coming as well then. Great that they are pumping a decent amount of BS helmets out. They look great and are great fun to muck around in with the kids. Great alternative if you can't afford the top tier fan helmets out there also. :)

Yeah, the standard Stormtrooper helmet was rumored back in August after this one was announced.
