OMG, i have just had another look at this thread and read that there will be replicas from this original helmet!

This has got to be the best news EVER for any star wars prop replica collector.
At last a ANH trooper helmet replica thats not been messed around with and that is cast from a nice sharp original. I knew this day would come!

I'll take two!

Thanks,

Keith.

Any word on your mic tips soon?

SiMan,

Many Thanks for bring this helmet and suit into the light. I've been following this news on the other boards since the beginning. Please count me in for 2 Helmets. Hopefully they will be pulled in all their sharp, green goodness!

I will have to get a move on with the mics. Sorry for taking so long, but i'm almost done with the other project i've been spending my spare time on.

Back to this helmet though, just imagine how many on screen helmets that can now be replicated with a cap like this one!

Wow, absoltely amazing Si! But I would respectfully disagree with your logic for doing Stunt *and* Hero varients of the replicas....

You will have a line 'around the block' of diehard anal-retentive Stormtrooper fans, waving bunches of £50 notes at you for an unmolested, untampered, accuarate Stunt background helmet. They don't want the shiny white ABS and bubbled lenses of an idealized Hero Stormtrooper helmet.

But if you want to supply replica helmets to Costumers who perhaps would want an idealized, clean helmet that can stand up to scrutiny when viewed by millimetres away.
IMO these costumers are already spoiled for choice with the large range of licensed Stormtrooper helmets out there... MR, Don Post Deluxe, EFX etc.

But there *is* a real gap in the market for an unmodified casting of an original trooper helmet from '76.
If you're in any doubt then put it to a Poll, and I guarantee that 90% of interested customers will want the unmodified Stunt 'straight copy' :thumbsup
....the other 10% may well be unititiated Newbies who don't know any better

Oh, and please consider me on the list for one of these buckets when they become available... I'd happily live on bread 'n' water to be able to get me mitts on one of these :thumbsup

Oh, and the next obvious question is... when will you be creating moulds from the rest of the suit?????!! :love

Must admit. It's quite exciting to see how this turns out.

I just wanted to say a quick thank you to all of you for showing so much interest in this I've had a lot of PM's of people. Rather than repeat myself I'll post a message here instead To all who have PM'ed me I still have copies of all your emails and once we're ready to take orders I'll send you all a quick message about availability.

Thanks again guy!

Great thread! I really would have thought that anything not in the archives would have been destroyed by now. I echo everyones sentiments: I'm in for one.

Could this be the end all, be all Stormtrooper thread??? The Helmet and Armor that FINALLY everyone is on the same page with??? Whooaaawww, times are a changin.

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Well, it's pure ANH. Unlike anything previously seen being made available.

 

[Objetivotuning]

I'd love one set of this armor

 

[Sixxgunn13]

Does this mean other Helmets will be now sub par compared to this helmet?
And the armor will be "the" one to get.

I'm in on a helmet and set pending price!

Well, other helmets mostly come from the Brian R helmet, which has a softer back and cap. There are also helmets from the Dave M helmet, which is a sharper helmet, but wasn't molded from the inside. I think only the more cleaned up helmets will less than this... but they kinda already were lower than the more true to accurate ones.

Then we have the RotJ trooper buckets... but those isn't in question here.

Depending on the level of unaltered looks to the casts, this would certainly be top of the line.

The armor will be unsurpassed. Imo, not much would be close.

While the helmet is nice, this really is the star. Everything to date has been RotJ reworked to ANH... but to have ACTUAL ANH... wow... just wow. Unsurpassed is definitely the right word. :thumbsup
