Hasbro Black Series Rogue One Stormtrooper Helmet

Hoping the shadow trooper helmet goes on sale

 

[Fener]

Yeh, but that's resellers, not Amazon. Amazon is £59 when it's in stock!

I paid mine €87 including shipping on amazon.it. Not bad. Now it's out of stock here and resellers are asking €200 for the helmet.... :facepalm

I bit an ordered one .. I was tempted by the Anovos anyway .. and at that price, I might as well satisfy the urge for not even the price of shipping of the Anovos one!

I payed £115 just on import duties for the Anovos! Crazy!

What kind of screening goes in the mouth part? Is it just regular window screening?

Damn. Not available in the US Bestbuy website. It's really $52 USD, but even at that price I'd make room in the collection.

I just used screen that was on an old door that was removed from a renovation house.

From the ComiCon photos, it looks to me like it is plastic screen with fairly thick strands. I haven't come across a window screen that matches so far.

 

[Lifeburn]

Well, I've bought 3 of these helmets. Two stormtroopers and one shadow trooper. Both stormies were repainted.

 

[BudaFett]

Woah, Lifeburn awesome job! Love the shocktrooper!

Has anyone replaced the lenses with bubble ones?

There was a place here last month that had the Kylo Ren helmet marked down to $38....and I DIDN'T get one...now they're back to $75:facepalm

Has anyone replaced the lenses with bubble ones?

Yes. Depending on source, they'll fit. Mine are VaderPainter lenses -- best I've seen, minimal distortion. Here's a pic of my test fit after checking placement, marking, and trimming down for optimum placement:

Kmart has these right now for $47.99 + tax (http://www.kmart.com/disney-star-wa...gclid=CLGskeju-dACFQ6HaQodaFsGWg&gclsrc=aw.ds)

Target WILL price match. Had to talk to three different people because the markdown was so high. Picked mine up over lunch.

I am very new to Star Wars collecting so I am curious about this helmet. What is hero accurate in terms of lense shape (bubble or not) and color?

 

[anj4de]

Still no sign of normelly priced ones in Germany...I really wonder about Hasbro's shipping policy! Or are they simple overwhelmed by the demand?

cheers

in Rogue One there are only stunt helmets, not hero. Hasbro lenses are correct (flat).

Is the helmet available in toy stores in Germany? Here in Italy is not available in stores, only on Amazon.it.

What about the very first stormtroopers we see in ANH?

ANH: stunt=flat lenses, hero=bubble lenses.

The Rogue One helmets have bubble lenses:

In addition to the sloppy tube slits, the Hasbro helmets' lenses being flat is an inaccuracy to the film prop. The Rogue One helmet I feel is an almost-perfect melding of ANH Hero and Stunt traits -- with a couple issues, like the tube stripes not having that curve to them, the ear greeblies not being horizontal, the helmet undercut being way too cut away, the tears being too "long" and with too many stripes/slits... Just little things.
