eFX ANH DARTH HELMET SAMPLE!!

[RKW]

Awesome.

So how does the dome attach to the face mask?


I was well impressed with the paint job on the MR boba fett so the Vader helmet should be easy to paint in comparison.

An incredible piece, long overdo for fans and collectors. Count yourself luck you be getting one of these gems!

Is there a final payment date yet? I hope soon while the exchange rate is favourable!

 

[Treadwell]

Wonderful!

Thanks for all the fantastic comments guys!!




Here's a few behind the scenes pics I thought you might be interested in seeing.
(excuse the poor quality pics, that's why they're *cough* behind the scenes)






Here's what the container looks like outside of the main box.
It's HUGE!

"It should be quite well protected..."

Shot of the face mask without the dome.

Interior shot of the face mask showing the lining and strap system.

Shot of the inside of the dome.
You have no idea how difficult it was to get the factory to lay the fiberglass in this particular way (thin wall with tight corners, and specific matte pattern)!
Very happy with the end result.

If they can pull that off...

Damn.

I'm VERY happy!!!

The paint looks better than the original test helmets! Which looked very good!

And now...

The waiting game!



And give Gino some rep points people!

He helped do what in our hobby said couldn't/wouldn't be done!

Gino,

Would you mins sharing the outer dimensions of the box... just to get an aproximated idea.

Thank you

I like the connector. Not prototypical of the ANH helmet, but it will do the job without a lot of fuss.

Man that's gorgeous!! Great job Gino and thank you! Now will us second class cititzens that got a Limited be treated to a visual sample? :lol

Now correct me if I'm wrong, though the limited is cleaned up as far as warts, it does still have the bumpy surfaces right? I thought I remembered Gino saying that before.

Possibly but maybe not.

That's correct. :thumbsup

Yes, identical to the Sith Planet helmet ring from many moons ago.

I really like what eFx has done here, but I'll hold out for an ESB or better yet, ROTJ lid with that showroom shine! Vader at his most pimpin' stage! lol

 

[joshimus]

Very nice..cant wait to see a few real life pics!

 

[RoCKo]

Wow Gino/eFX, that is just stunning!
Like so many others i wish i would have bought one back then.
If all helmets will hold up to that paint quality it WILL set the new standard for "mass produced" replicas.
