Paid $120-ish YEARS ago for a DP Classic Action ST helmet. Just go the new Black Series helmet for $80.

Had a couple small defects - a casting flaw in the form of a small dimple on the dome (1mm max), and what seems to be a cut in the plastic near the ear button.

...just saw one of these a couple of hours ago on the WalMart shelf with the box lid open...of course I had to inspect it. I was shocked at how nice it is! Things sure have come a long way since back in '99 when I really got into props / costumes when you can go into a local WalMart and see a haphazardly opened box of a 1:1 Stormtrooper helmet.

As nice a representation of the subject as my $500 eFX X-Wing Helmet or my $800 Don Post Deluxe Vader... If not nicer.
 
Yup, I got one too (under the Christmas tree) and I have to say....I really like it!! Managed to get it for the $49 Amazon deal!! Certainly looks great on display.
Looking forward to seeing what future helmets get produced in this Black Series line.
 
I snagged one of the Hasbros for Christmas, and am mightily impressed that they made it adult-sized! The paint and detailing is pretty tight, I must say.

I also own a DP Classic Action and the only thing I prefer between the two are the bubble lenses (I don't care about screen accuracy for this one; I just like bubble lenses!!)

Same here, couldn't pass up it for sake on Amazon. Great piece!

Hoping for a Boba Fett and X-Wing pilot helmet in the same series.

I've been pondering the 2017 helmet offering(s). I'd bet we get a Resistance pilot helmet, maybe specifically Poe's helmet. They seem to be coinciding with the movie being released. Probably Boba with the Han Solo movie (I hope).
