RS Prop Masters Biggs Darklighter X-Wing Helmet

[Star Wars Helmets]

At a time when the licensed producers are constantly delaying release of "pre-order" replicas, I have to say its a very pleasant experience ordering and then receiving a replica prop on time!

So here's my latest acquisition, the RS Prop Masters Biggs X-Wing helmet, signed by ole Biggsy himself Garrick Hagon. And its a beauty!

Measurements suggests its pretty much 1:1 to the originals, so therefore slightly smaller than the oversize EFX Luke/Wedge Helmets (which are still great helmets btw - just overly large)

The detailing's great - with some sweet detailing - completely hand made/painted in Manchester. Plus it comes in a really nice pro package with stand, plaque etc.

..and a comparison with an original lid I had access to a number of years back...would be good to try and get one side by side at some point, but looking at measurements I have - it looks pretty much spot on.

So another really great helmet from the RS guys - extremely impressive. More info including more pics and comparisons on my site.

Cheers

Awesome! I have #039 and couldn't agree more. It's a beautiful helmet. I've been watching them like a hawk to try and snag a Wedge next time they're offered. I was so bummed I missed out on the first wave.

Still waiting for my Wedge from the first batch, but they're supposed to release the next early march

I have #9, & wholeheartedly agree with your write up Jez
& like oblagon I'm still waiting on my Wedge from the first batch. RS has my complete faith (unlike eFX or ANOVOS), so I'm not worried.

www.starwarshelmets.com is a SPECTACULAR site!!!

Trent I just emailed them and they sent me an invoice for a wedge to go ahead and pay for one from the next batch.

Thanks for the comments guys - yes I too am tempted to order a Wedge now after getting this one.

The RS guys are smashing it at the moment!

I desperately want some of the these helmets... if only space and money weren't so limited...!

Yes, and then I hope they will complete Red Squadron with Red Leader and Porkins. The RS team is great at every level, from being wonderful to work with customer relations-wise to producing stunning works of art.

Rob - if you're monitoring this, keep making them and I'll keep buying them...

I agree with Dan. Rob, you make them, I'll buy them !

That is a real beauty. Biggs was always my favorite of all of the helmets. I wish I had the extra cash to get one along with a Wedge.

Well Angus MacInnes is signing for them this weekend so I think that's a given. Check their Facebook

Yippee and thanks. I'm a ludite. No FB.

I am patiently waiting on a Red Leader to come out. That Gold Leader is tempting though...
