It's both! I got it home, out of the box, and I must say, I like it. Even if it isn't 100% accurate, it is pretty cool. It's a heck of a lot better that the ROTS voice changer helmet. Now to figure how and where to display it (with the BS stormtrooper).
So what's up next? Red Five/Luke or Boba Fett?
With the Solo movie around the corner I would not be shocked to see a Boba one come next. But.....I would like to see a C-3PO helmet as that would be kind of unique.

Id love to see a 3PO too.
Problem is, that it would not translate over well to follow the rules and regulations for safety and such.
They'd have to modify it way to much.
I can already hear this place, going nuts about it not being screen accurate.

I picked this up at Walmart by my house yesterday afternoon. They had two on the shelf, along with a bunch of Solo movie stuff.
I've been back and forth on this one since it was announced. Some pics looked good, some looked bad (including some of the same promo shots that are on the box). I've been hanging on to some Christmas money to buy this, but I kept wondering if it might not be better spent on other things. Maybe I would just wait for it to be discounted. Anyway, after reading some positive reviews, I decided to pull the trigger as soon as I found one and let me tell you, I am sure happy that I did!
This thing is amazing! If you are on the fence like I was, I highly recommend picking one up. If you like the Stormtrooper helmet, you are going to love this! It is just so damned cool! It's really well built, very detailed, the electronics are awesome, and the "breathing" is nice and loud. It's pretty comfortable to wear, if not a little difficult to put on without some assistance. And man, it just looks great! I tried to capture as many angles as I could in the pics below. For some reason, the straight on shot looks kind of distorted, like the promo shot on the box but I assure you, I am looking at it right now about 5 ft away and it looks amazing! Like the Stormtrooper helmet, 2D pics just don't do it justice...you have to see it in person.
So yeah, it's not a high end prop replica and I get why a lot of folks aren't digging it, but for $100 toy from Hasbro, it is pretty bad ass!

Nice pics. Go back and buy the other one. These things defy logic for the price.
Got mine today. Love it. I'm already starting the modding process. Screened vent, filled a few annoying gaps, and fitted steps of black gorilla tape over the face plate magnets (makes it easier to take apart), and filled the nose section with more silver color.
Future mods include accurate tusks, accurate dome (perhaps modded pcr type), and screen accurate paint scheme.
Oh, for those who think this might be undersized it's not.
Take into consideration that Sebastian Shaw only stood 6'2" and the reveal helmet was fitted for his head.

I've done it and the scale is correct. They would need to be modded to actually fit together properly,

Here in the UK they're mislabeled, stumbled on it last night and got a pre-order in. It's called "STAR WARS E0328EU4 S2 BL Black Series Helmet, Boys, Gray, One Size". It disappeared just after I placed the order, but looks to have come back again overnight

It came up for me as “Darth Vader premium electronic helmet” lol.
I don’t need this helmet, but I keep seeing that damn 3 piece display and think of how great this would look along side my other helmets.
I think I may have to liquidate my first order anovos to make room for this one otherwise my soon to be wife will think I’m nuts!
