Black Series Helmets - whats next after Boba Fett

I'm in Australia we have Scout and Ahsoka helmets sitting on shelves and have for about 3 weeks now maybe more I purchased the Scout Trooper what a awesome helmet picking up Ahsoka also glad I didn't get the standard version Ahsoka helmet in person it looks amazing
 
Gorgeous. The only prequel helmet I need, sums up the whole story in one piece.

Did they smoothen out the bottom half from the first release?
They’re still using the old photos and are calling this a pre-order on restock, so I’m guessing it’s still has the same bottom with the paint indents and chipping molded in.

I think our only hope that they would change it would have been for the Axe helmet and other spin-off paint jobs, but looking at the promo photos of the Axe helmet the same molded paint peeling pattern is clearly there.
 
This is something I discussed with an old friend and maybe even mentioned in this thread, but it is very unfortunate that the masters of repainting and selling the same product over-and-over didn’t have the foresight to say “we shouldn’t bake in paint damage from one specific variant on what is possibly our most versatile sculpt.” I have to imagine at least one person at Hasbro is deeply regretting that decision and hopefully they’ll be wary of a decision like that in the future.
 
So... Galaxy's Edge now sells a voice changing 1st Order stormtrooper that is almost-but-apparently NOT Black Series, for $99 online. Similar to how they sold the almost-but-not Black Series rebel Pilot helmets.

Has anyone seen these in person?

If you get a good look at the sides, you will see the sectional panels. Nothing like the Black Series.

Hitting the shelves at Target.
I've been checking the Gamestop site for a week or two, but no one nearby has any. After seeing this, I checked Target and the closest one had "only 3 left". I went there directly and there was only one on the shelf, so I grabbed it. Dagnabbit. Now I'm gonna have to get a Snowtrooper when/if that comes out. And a TIE pilot. And...
 
i have not seen one locally yet...
My local GS and Target never carry them, it’s weird because their black series and tvc figures always get cleared out after a restock. I’m sure they wouldn’t have a problem selling a few helmets. That being said, the online retailers have yet to let me down
 
If you wanted a BS Stormtrooper helmet…
