Black Series Helmets - whats next after Boba Fett

[JamesM242]

Question for the experts: I was anticipating the re-release of the Scout Trooper helmet in July, but when I went to both Entertainment Earth and Big Bad Toystore, I was too late and both have already sold out the pre-orders (ya snooze, ya lose). Amazon is selling them for $191 with a delivery date of December?????

What are my options? Based on what you know will any of those retailers get more than their pre-order allotment? Do I just need to be patient, or have I missed the boat (again)?

That Amazon listing is a 3rd party seller. I would wait. If they are getting released, there might be a direct Amazon listing as well as listings from Target and other retailers.

Thanks Mara Jade's Father ! "Standing by."

I was noticing in the episode it had a red/gold ish hue.... though i wonder why they didnt chrome the teeth. Looks like they had to expand the eye holes for safety probably.

Bummer.. i got really excited to see this but those changes are not for me.

It’s not Hasbro’s fault, but what a terrible looking design. This looks like a latex Halloween mask bred with a gimp suit.

 

[Mara Jade's Father]

This is a buy for me but I am going to wait it out on Amazon when I can catch a sale and save $30. I like it. I think this will look better in person. I also think a quick dark wash ver the entire surface might help but I do want it in my collection.

I will be buying it too but will do some moding.

It should be fairly easy to make some printed inserts to fix the eye shape.

agreed...

The "teeth" on the other hand, those need to be replaced with what i think is just metal hoses. Something like this but larger

 

[Kylash]

Hmmm... seems to be missing some of the uneven wonkiness it should have. Eye line shouldnt be straight, and left side should be a bit lopsided.

You are correct. That is indeed my opinion.

I love it

I have an opinion. It's not mine though. I found it. I am not sure if I agree with it or not, but it does make a good point.

Welcome to the RPF.

I think the helmet looks creepy AF.

I’m really enjoying the show but I’ll probably pass on this helmet. I am really excited for fans on the ‘Master’ character to have a great costume piece like this for their cosplay.
