Black Series Helmets - whats next after Boba Fett

[Mara Jade's Father]

I have a lightly modified (the T-visor) one of the toy version they released with the movie, so I'm good on that front.

What I really want is the R1 Death Trooper and maybe a TIE Pilot. And possibly Jango Fett. Then I'm definitely done with helmets.

I’m hoping that with Andor wearing a TIE helmet for scenes in season 2 gave them a reason to produce one.

Interesting that it's advertised as being based off the Ahsoka deco, but is actually the OWK 501st blue

 

[Jamesfett]

By this statement I'm assuming Ahsoka, Obi Wan series, and Return of the Sith all have different shades of blue?

What blue is the 501st in Return of the Sith?

While I am at it, does anybody have a rattle can color that's accurate to return of the Sith

Here's a helpful colour chart of all 6 (yes 6!) main variations of the shades of blue for the 501st created by CobaltGreen1138 on twitter.
As for rattle can colour, if you can find a spray paint that's Pantone 5405C that'll be pretty close to the ROTS blue

Also, the sculpt hasn't been updated so it's still the combination based of FBFX's Phase II helmet and ROTS instead of Legacy Effect. Biggest tells are the indented cheek vents, the notch on the fin and no beveled edge on the visor

You Sir are a Scholar and a Gentlemen.

Thanks for the help. I can't believe there are six.

I am not nuts about this color on the new Hasbro helmet.

The Pantone 5405C can't be bought in the U.S.

Does anyone have a match for ROTS that is available in the U.S.?

I also have several blues, I can just play around with it.

 

[Jamesfett]

Krylon Global Blue seems to be recommended, but it looks too light for ROTS???

Update: european pulse got the 501st trooper helmet as preorder for mid march.

Had some trouble checking out though, site got bugged a bit somehow. managed to get around those bugs though

Looks pretty good. Looks like they went with all gloss black instead of the correct paint scheme, but not bad looking at all.

I have the Xcoser one that was like $75, and will definitely get this one as well. I may repaint the Xcoser one into an undead Ahsoka version…
