But why, Why, WHy, WHY would anyone weather it but leave the mohawk wrong.  I know matching the color paint will be hard which argues for the get the clean one & paint it up right.

Good question. With Bly, his mohawk is more of a zinc chromate, like his cheeks and thighs. Not the greenish, brownish yellow of the stripe. So, it's arguable that his mohawk is "supposed" to be white.

With licensed figures sporting the white mohawk, it may be the "Fett inaccuracies" all over again. How many of us thought the red and yellow gaunts of the 70's 12" were correct?;) Or didn't even notice? And the spots on the gloves, shoulder blaster, etc.

I'm getting a bit concerned I'll never recieve my helmet. I did the advance purchase on Ebay when they first came out. Now I checked out the seller and he's no longer a registered user and racked up 60 Neg. in the last 6 months. I think I lost my money and helmet. Is it too late to file a claim?.

Oh crap, dude. I'm so sorry that happened to you. Chances are, the guy was never really selling, just racking up payments until he could pay for his new car. :unsure

Glad I pre-ordered from a reputable ebay guy that has yet to charge me for the Special Ops helmet.......
 
Great line-up TK1536. B)

With these great actual helmet size comparison shots I think that the theory of this helmet being too small can be thrown offically out the window.

If the helmet were bigger it would look goofy.
This helmet is NOT too small.
The pics speak for themselves.

Totally Agreed... I knew it once I removed mine from the box, and I don't even own a Trooper helmet yet

I agree. The first initial reviews had me worried but since those initial pictures I am no longer worried. It still might not fit my head, but that doesn't mean it's too small. The picture of the helmet on the 5'9" guy shows just how perfectly sized this helmet is. The clones are not 6'5 260lbs as some fans wish. There are helmets out there for larger people but this was intended to fit those closer to the clones body size.
 
something just dawned on me...

it bugged me that they didnt make any actual trooper suits for the PT...

but...

i just realized, if they did, and made them the same size as OT TKs... tem morrison wouldnt have fit in them.

discuss.

Thye just would have made them to fit TM
 
riiight...

but thats my point, to keep with the look/size of the OT, they just used CGI bodys and pasted his head on.

if they made them to fit tem... it would look off when showing the full trooper in CGI JMHO

and in turn we would have FX sized MR ep3 helmets that would look outa place when set next to an ANH replica...

am i making any sense?

sorry to go OT, just figured that with all the complaining about the buckets small size that this was rellavent.

IM prob really late on this but I asked my dealer what was up with the 501st buckets. He told me they are,, well
"They are currently in United States customs and should be shipping very soon"
So hope that helps a little for us with the 501st buckets.

Thanks... I'm 5'9.... I originally thought that it looked too big for me, but then I figured that with the armor on, it would look more proportional

Your absolutely right, once you have armor on it will all come together. But to be honest it doesn't look big or small on you. I'm 5'8" so this makes me very happy.
If you have clone armor slap it on and take another pic ,i mean if ya don't mind. Again thanks for postin the pics bro :thumbsup

I'm not sure about that one, as i don't wear hats, but as you can see the pic with me holding the helmet, I have an average sized head for my body size... I'm sure if your anywhere near 5'9, you should have nothing to worry about :)

I agree with the size being correct as compared to the above helmets....my point way back when this thread started was that the stormtrooper helmets dont have the cheek indents like the clone does which does hinder people with larger heads or rounder faces from simply slipping it on...Im glad it fits alot of people and I think its a very well done helmet.......This horse has now been beaten to death :rolleyes
