MR Fullsize Stormtrooper Helmet starting to ship ?

[micdavis]

Probably one of the most Iconic images from Star Wars, and it comes out LAST.

Nice planning.

Overall, I think it is a nice looking representation....certainly the best mass produced item to date, certain to appeal to the casual collector. If not for my completed costume, I'd pick one up.

 

[KevVader]

Hmmmm....that looks more like the 1st proto with the lopsided grin. I thought that they had fixed that. Plus do the ears look worse than I had remembered? 3 bumps? :confused

I'll reserve final judgement until I have mine in hand....build quality and paint looks good though.

 

[wannab]

Heros had three bumps. Question is will they have four for the stunt version?

mmm....the brow trim looks odd :unsure Is there too much over hang above the lens :confused Other than those two things <by just my observation from the pics> the helmet looks pretty nice

 

[Star Wars Helmets]

Some very minor changes to the ears aside (all of which were for the good), the Proto 2 version 2 on my site is pretty-much the final version.

The photos I took in natural light show off the helmet better than under flash which tends to wash out the helmet, and flatten the detail.

btw Kev the tube stripes were blue but under the lighting they came out a bit blacker

Cheers

The stripes are very dark blue in color on mine. Again, overall I'm happy with it. This is one item no matter what MR did some would have some issues with. But since I've never owned any Stormtrooper helmet before, this was a good place to start I think.

 

[allosaur176]

I'm really not liking the look of that lopsided grin.... Hopefully its the angle and lighting giving it that effect :unsure

 

[rad1701]

I don't think it's that pronounced. It's fairly tricky to take a really good photo of something that is both bright white and shiny. Again, here is mine and I think it looks pretty darn nice.

 

[Clutch]

Looks nice!

Nice planning.

Speaking of which, now MR has said they need to cancel some (~70?) of the last of the
direct preorders because not enough were made.

Huh?

This was posted over at Rebelscum by MR Customer Care:


Special Edition Helmet:

Suggested Retail Price: $119
Version: "Stunt"
Edition Size: Open Edition
Geometry: Symmetrical (idealized)
Lends: Flat-Green
Material: Injection molded ABS
Interior: PU Foam Pad on Crown
Plaque: No
Stand: No

*Note: Both Green and Grey lenses are supplied with the Limited Edition since there is no definitive reference of the actual color of the lenses in the “Hero” helmet at this time. "

They also said that it will probably (most likely) be available in the US of A soon.

Well, I've ordered one - I'll post pics when it arrives (if no-one beats me to it).

 

[Master Jedi TJ]

[Darth Alias]

Oldken - this was the cheapo helmet that was (originally) an exclusive for PLay.com in the UK. I dont think any photos of it have been circulated but I understand it pretty much sucks!

Way to brighten up my Xmas mate

Merry Xmas to one and all

 

[Star Wars Helmets]

Sorry Steve - you got one on order?

Cheers

[shagger999uk]

Yeah, I figured £60 wasn't that bad of a risk as long as it didn't turn out to be a Rubies POS. I remember the first symmetric pics that came out for the 'idealised' trooper looked nice, not accurate obviously, but nice (I like symmetry). Oh well, I've paid more and gotten less before......

If it's any good I'll put it next to my AA Battlespec, if not, my nieces can have it!
