I signed up to the RS props newsletter sometime ago. Just received an invitation to purchase a pre-order for a y-wing helmet run with screen linage today.
Here's a picture of the helmet they'll be reproducing.
From the RS newsletter:
A Very Special Invitation.
As you will know we are always trying to bring new and exciting direct lineage replicas to our community. Every now and then we are offered pieces that are exciting and unique. This is one of those times.
We have secured an original studio made helmet from which we are planning to make a very limited one time only run of helmets. We wanted to offer you a exclusive spot on that run.
This helmet run will be strictly limited to 100 worldwide. We will then retire this helmet and no more will be made.
Why would you do that?
We have a number of exciting projects that we would like to work on. This one opportunity has come out of the blue and we don't want to pass on it, but we also don't want to make them as a standard helmet in our original trilogy range. So a very exclusive run seems to be the best way to achieve both these goals.
This invitation is going out directly to our newsletter subscribers, it will not be posted on our website if availability is oversubscribed. Please remember, these are very limited numbers.
How the run will work.
We are looking for people to secure a spot on the run with a deposit of £100. The balance will be due when your helmet is ready to ship.
This will help us secure the studio made piece.
Right now we have the R&D to carry out to create the best ever replica of this helmet. This means we have no release date confirmed but please, before you consider this as an open ended pre-order type deal let me reassure you it's not. We think of it more like an exclusive crowd funding invitation with a guaranteed screen accurate full lineage replica prop at the end of the project. I hope that our reputation for delivering in the past will reassure you we will deliver on this as we have previous projects and as always satisfaction is guaranteed.
One last comment.
These helmets require a very special paint job. In many ways comparable to a Boba Fett or Boushh style finish. This is another reason to keep the numbers low and therefore manageable and the project realistic and achievable................
When you have made your deposit will confirm your number in the run and the helmets will be shipped in this order. Number 1 shipping first and 100 last.
