BS Stormies got too much wasted space in their interior though. Doesnt fit over my head (even though medium sized motorcycle helmets fit over my head).
I think the Stormies are not as good as X wings and especially the Boba Fett line but still pretty awesome for the price. I have two. My beaten up Stormie and my spike Mando bloody Stormy.
That Vader though. Think if they did a Reveal Vader Helmet on par with their own BS Boba Fett helmet. Just wow. I would own three.
One for together. One for display in three parts, and one for Vader damaged at the end of the Obi fight.

The posts comparing other lines to Denuo Novo items are fine in this thread. There were some posts that were only about Black Series items. Those should be in a Black Series thread.
We can't compare ESB Fett helmet to Jango. They're totally different in everyway possible besides having T-visors! I don't know why but something really bothers me about the Denuo-Novo helmet. It bothered me in person and it's the flare and proportion of the visor and mandibles.
The MR helmet isn't the ESB hero. It is in fact the Pre-Production 3 helmet painted very similarly to ESB.
While both ESB and ROTJ came from the same mold due to all the damage to the ESB helmet it would take a lot of work to totally reshape to make it suitable for ROTJ. While it doesn't mean they won't try...

From what I understand Hasbro used the Anovos scan of the hero to create their Black Series.

Why would Anovos have allowed that? Black Series has got to be hurting business for Anovos (back when) and Denuo Novo now. I realize Black Series isn't near the quality, especially compared to the fiberglass helmets, but I have Black Series next to all my other lines of helmets and they don't look out of place.
I doubt Hasbro is hurting for business, the Black Series line is pretty popular. I'm sure sharing of the 3D scan information was facilitated by Lucas as they no longer want the hero helmet to be removed from the Archives. Now I could be totally 100% wrong but that's exactly what I heard.
In my opinion most Black Series helmets look great from 10ft away. If you compare Fett, Vader and Mando to their counterparts the difference is huge and obvious. The Stormtroopers less so.
Honestly, I just realized sometimes I am responding and I forget which thread I am in.

Not hurting business for Hasbro. Hurting business for Anovos/Denuo Novo.
Actually I think the Bo Katan helmet paint deco is pretty frickin' incredible looking. I was really surprised when I opened it. The Trapper Wolf X-Wing is really well done too.
I think the 1:1 sideshowbust is absolute amazing.Here some pics of mine.Its really a great piece.I know it based the Legacy Effects armor...but the ROTJ weathering is really spot on.I really love it.

That's the second version Sideshow did. I have the first.
Shouldn't yours have a cape though?

I assume he just left off the cape for display purposes. It does add a good amount of depth needed if you keep the cape on.
Which Sideshow is the underscaled one they used for Cobb's/Boba's armor and helmet in The Mandalorian?
Yes it has the cape but when I put it on it blocks my Blurayshelf behind the bust...I´m looking for one made of cloth.
Like I said before my sideshowbust based on the smaller Legacy Effects armor..they used this armor for Boba and the Deathwatch in the Mandalorian.I don´t know if the armor is smaller...but the helmet is it when you look on the EFX ESB.
But was the ROTJ helmet not also smaller as the ESB?I´m not so a Boba Expert....but on some pics the ESB one looks bigger and deeper on the neck.
The helmet on-set in Elstree for ESB (Executor bridge, Cloud City) and Jabba's palace (ROTJ) was a Hero. I'd have to go shot-by-shot, but I think everything you see in Yuma/on Jabba's barge was a stunt helmet. Might've come out a bit different in shape and size (because shrinkage) compared to the Hero, but all six original helmets cast in fiberglass to be the squad of Super-Commandos are identical.
