Black Series Helmets - whats next after Boba Fett

Dunno if Hasbro is going to make an Armorer BS helmet anytime soon and I really wanted one, so I pulled the trigger on an 18 gauge steel version off ebay.

Hopefully when it arrives it looks as good in person as the ad implies.

These are my photos. I tried reporting these listings when they first started popping up and eBay didn't do anything.

You need to cancel the order because it is a scam.

These same sellers stole photos from Marcus Studio Prop and Branfuhr Studios for their Din Djarin helmet, too.

Ack, that sucks, dude.

I'll have to return it as it says it's already shipped. Sneaky SOB's.

Show us what it looks like when it comes in so people have an idea what they actually sell. Also TheWeldingGeek is a member of many costuming groups and makes videos on YouTube, I’d see if he takes commissions since his stuff actually holds up to a lot of the non metal helmets.

Got my helmet in today, but had 4 surgeries on my hand & arm yesterday. I'm limited on what I can do, but my son opened it & put it together for me. Can wait to really get a good look at it.

Many, MANY thanks again BAD!

Went to see ROTJ Friday, and in a few free moments before the showing I wandered the mall and into Gamestop. I didn't expect much as my attempts at preordering the Clone Trooper helmet were thwarted by GS withdrawing the preorder option. initially all I saw was the Death Watch/Boba repaint, which I don't want. But lo and behold, they had it so when the asked me if I needed something, I just pointed to it and said "That!". It's a little bigger than I would have expected (vs. the Phase I helmet releases with AOTC) but overall it's a solid quality product. Unless they come out with a TIE Pilot anytime soon, I think I have all the helmets I need. But did need any of them? Let's say: the ones I really want. We'll see about the scout trooper, but I'm not too excited about that.
 
They commented that it is a very vivid blue color too, so maybe I’ll pick this one up too. Heck, I have all the others…

Can’t decide about the Xwing helmets. My wife bought me Wedge’s, but I should either stick with just one or buy the others (and the Disney Park “Biggs” one too).

The parks one is not Biggs. It has a similar checker pattern but it is an original Black Spires scheme.

the Parks one is not Biggs.. its a bit of a mish mash of things. It does have some Biggs coloring to it, but there are elements that are original and not part of any film or character. I especially find funny the "LEBEL PILOT" printing on the side.. which is supposed to say "REBEL" but the R is rotated according to the rest of the text for some reason.
There are also many differences between the Parks and Black Series helmets. I have a thread on this elsewhere in the RPF.
 
I have the Black Spire Lebel Pilot helmet. I leally like it. :p

I like rebel flight helmets so I am a sucker for a new paint scheme. I think they are great helmet especially for the price. I think the chin cups are a little off but if I ever wanted to do a custom paint job, that is what I would use

For sure!
I did one of my customs with a Parks Luke helmet. They are quite affordable for customizing. Highly recommended.
 
I wonder if we’ll ever see an RF-less version of these helmets. With some of the newer background mandos it’d be cool to get something just a little bit different.

But if I had to guess we’ll see another repaint of this helmet in the style of what they’re calling “The Mandalorian Fleet Commander” to match the new black series action figure of the same name.
