How big of a head fits inside a accurate Stormtrooper helmet?

[Egon Spengler]

Will I even be possible to fit into a accurate Stormtrooper helmet?

My head is 23 inches around.

 

[ItsThatGuy]

Yep. Turn sideways and twist. With AP kit (which is a little smaller than my TE) you can just make the opening a little larger.

 

[DivineHeresy]

You should be ok. I think my head is about the same, maybe even a little bigger and i fit into an AP.

Dude, I am only 6'1", I wear a size 14 shoe and a 7 7/8 hat. Friggin' Bobble Head Hector with Clown Shoes! I feel his pain oh so eloquently.

I've also got a large cranium and a smaller more accurate size helmet and I can get it on and off with the twist method. The biggest issue is it limits placement of things inside the helmet like fans and mics and batteries. I had to put my fans near the temples and they sound very loud being so close to my ears.

I've got a 23 1/2" head circumference and I fit into a smaller non FX bucket. You'll be fine.

Is your head Rainn Wilson big, John C. Reilly big or Wilford Brimley die-a-beetus big?
Let me tell you how big the Big Show's Head is - 5 gallon bucket big. Don't feel bad.
7 5/8 for me.

"Bobble Head Hector"! :lol

Right there with you my friend, though I only have size 10 1/2 or 11 shoes!

My head is HUGE and I wear an AP helmet. Sideways and turn.

 

[Remo]

That was my big worry when I first got a TK. But even my melon head (It's a virtual planetoid. HEAD PANTS NOW) fits with the turn. You could always get a TIE, my head fits in my DL with my glasses on no problem.

 

[Jumpin Jax]

Starting to think that my head is fairly medium. It fits just fine in an accurate helm, but also fits in the larger Don Post royal guard helmet.

I think a large nose would be of more concern when fitting an accurate lid.

Second that.
From my personal experience it´s not the size of your head but the size of your NOSE that could cause potential "fitting-issues" :rolleyes

Here's a behind-the-scenes shot from the shooting of Episode IV in Tunisia:


Seems to me you could fit quite a lot inside an accurate stormtrooper helmet.

 

[Wickerness]

Well I have a 26" head and I wish I had seen this thread sooner. Especially since that pic died.
Helmet size is always my first issue.

 

[Stormie]

My head is pretty big and it fits perfectly, I even have a decent line of sight.

 

[Fair Play]

The secret is to "screw" it on. Turn the bucket sideways, lower the helmet and turn back again.
I haven't seen a head that didn't fit into a stormtrooper helmet.

Glad to see this thread!
I don't have a big head(7.25 hats) and was, honestly worried when I tried to put my Gino ESB tk on for the first time.
