Black Series Helmets - whats next after Boba Fett

[Mara Jade's Father]

What does everyone think of the sounds in the Rex Black Series helmet?

Can’t help you, I can’t remember the last time I actually put batteries in a helmet.

You can also see them talk about it at the 21 minute mark.

Feels like that cheek paint should be metallic... looks very flat in the video.

 

[Rawktrooper]

hmm. yeah i am not a big fan of that one.

I agree, but at least Hasbro is still interested in making full helmets. I'm pretty certain that more adults are buying these for themselves than for their children.

I'm waiting for the Death Trooper.

Middle gap of the T-Visor is a bit wide. I always enjoy the interior detail, but it’s unfortunate that it’s rare a BS helmet wouldn’t benefit from an accuracy modification.

Looks very plastic. I mean, I know it is, but the Fett and Mandalorian ones hide it with the paint jobs.

Hope we get a TIE pilot some day!

Looks like they changed the eyes on that helmet from the previous black series clone helmets.

From your lips to Hasbro's ears. Those are the only two left I genuinely want. The Death Trooper could be released in 2026 for the ten year anniversary of Rogue One. Maybe. Who knows about the TIE Pilot.

is it too hard to get a Jango Repaint?

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. But I also want to start making my own helmets, so I think I could pull some templates off the Boba Fett and do it up in EVA foam. I know they're not the same, but it'll be close enough.

 

[Mara Jade's Father]

is it too hard to get a Jango Repaint?

No, not hard but I myself would not want a repaint. They need to go back and remake the helmet without the built in scarring so they can do an appropriate clean version instead of just painting over them like they have been.

The Mohawk return into the forehead is different as well. It’s crazy to do a revision this early. I wonder what other changes it has.

If they are different, they are probably just new parts of the helmet that they swapped out and not a total redo.Not uncommon as they did the same with Fett’s dome when they wanted to make other mando helmets without the dent.

Looks like a little bit of everything has changed. The dial on the back of helmet is smooth now and the division sign extrudes out instead of being ribbed and pressing in like the original clones. They also made a part line behind the ears.

My guess is they got access to the Kenobi/Ahsoka clone helmet and made revisions. Since Gentle Giant got bought by Diamond Select, Hasbro has been remaking all the GG figures like the clones and they don't have same accuracy as GG made figures.

This is the back of the original Hasbro helmet you can compare it the pics above
