Black Series Helmets - whats next after Boba Fett

[edge10]

This shows the Fett helmet and Luke's but nothing new:

Anyone go to toy fair this year? It’s happening now and I was wondering if any new helmets were revealed

I've been keeping up with it all day, & nothing so far for a helmet.

Biggest 'role play' announcement has been a Darth Revan saber from KOTOR.

 

[Synz314]

Yeah, they only announced the Revan saber as far as Star Wars props go. There are 5 Black Series replicas coming out this year, which is crazy. I have a hard time imagining them announcing yet another for the time being.

Where did they say 5 were coming?

Where did they say 5 were coming?

1. Boba Fett helmet (May)
2. Kit Fisto saber (July)
3. Asajj saber (July)
4. Count Dooku saber (August)
5. Revan saber (September)

A TIE/ AT-AT driver helmet would be a great choice for this line, as a repaint.
I'd love to see them release the Poe and Luke X-Wing helmets in plain white, so people could finish or weather them however they want. Maybe even knock off a few bucks on the price.
Either way, i want them to start including Bluetooth in these things.

 

[Synz314]

Bluetooth would be cool. The StarLord and Bumblebee helmets have bluetooth capability, which is appropriate if you want to play music through the helmets. A functioning mic headset isn't a bad idea for X-wing helmets.

I was really hoping to see a Mandalorian helmet announced at the New York Toy Fair this weekend.

It was being discussed as of last Friday in the BS Fett helmet thread proper, and yes, it's legit.

Looks like GameStop is getting the Shadow Trooper back in stock.

The Mandalorian helmet wouldn't be difficult to retask the current Boba Fett mold.

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

Yup. Now the thing is will Hasbro care to create an entirely new helmet? Afterall they kept the molded weathering on the prototype Fett helmet. And they don't always care about accurate shape if you look at their Vader helmet. If Hasbro releases a Mandalorian helmet I am not expecting it to be shaped differently than Fett.

If they care to make a Mando, yes they will create a new helmet. You can't conflate repaints (E.G. Iron Man, Stormtrooper) with Hasbro not feeling like creating a new tooling. In fact, they have only done that with those two helmets.

Come to think of it, even the re released Kylo Ren Elite Force FX was completely retooled. Hasbro has had some misses, but they aren't idiots.

Agreed... First of all, Lucasfilm/Disney would never sign off on a simple re-paint for something that looks so different.

Sweet! Thanks for posting that link! I got it ordered, I am not missing this helmet again!

That shadow trooper was originally an Amazon exclusive, interesting

I really want to be wrong about this, but I don't have any good expectations. Speaking of the Iron Man helmet, the Punisher War Machine also should not have been a simple repaint but it was.

You do you then.
