I love the helmet, and I know RS is serious about making a kick-ass replica.
I also know costs of everything have gone way up (except my salary) and a lot of people at that studio will be working on it, explaining the high price, but this one's out of reach for me.
But for those who are interested, pre-order begin tomorrow >
"This is a Limited Edition Helmet, no more than 100 will be released. It is also a signature Edition Helmet. The name of the signee will be announced in the coming weeks, but rest assured the signature to accompany this helmet is befitting the special project this is. We are proud and excited about who is signing this one.
The helmet is a vacuum formed shell with further vacuum formed panels cut from a second shell and attached to its exterior. These forming are created from moulds taken from production made pieces. Around the helmet is an assortment of greeblies created from castings of model kit parts, all of which are re-created from the original model kits.
The helmet is assembled and painted using the best known reference material and of course Archive X enamel paint.
Finally we have the real leather wraps and strap and electronic lights to finish the helmet, one of the most unique and distinctive from the original trilogy. A display stand will be included as with all signature edition helmets, but this time something a little more special to reflect the status of this very special helmet. More details to follow.
Timescale and Delivery
Unlike previous runs of this kind the team are coming together to assemble, paint and finish this project as a team. We anticipate a six month completion from the start of the painting phase. Starting the project ahead of time will ensure we can deliver these helmets before the end of the year, fitting for the 40th Anniversary of the helmets arrival in The Return of the Jedi.
Pre-Order Opens Wednesday 26th 8PM (BST)
Pricing and Payments
With the delivery taking an estimated six months we are offering this helmet with a payment plan over a six month period of six equal payments. No upfront total payment is possible.
Payments will be 6 x £333.33 (£1999.98 total) including shipping.
This is a special project and one that the whole team will be working on to deliver a difficult helmet to replicate in a much more timely manner than we have ever undertaken before. This timeframe will mean we will be restricting other projects and commissions during this period to ensure we can meet the goals set. The next few months will be a special time for the team, be sure to follow us across our social media as we assemble and complete a helmet that will always be part of our legacy in the prop community.
So, with pure excitement for such a special project we look forward to the following months building these helmets for the greatest community we could hope for, all you guys that support us and make these projects possible."
