As a person who got into the hobby originally because of my initial love of the Jango Fett helmet, I am kinda sad to see that quite a bit of the Jango parts are increasingly harder to find and reliant on just about one person these days.
Back then, BigKidBiggerToys (BKBT) was the go-to for fan made helmets and armor. He had eventually passed the molds onto Cruzer. (Fun fact, he did ask me if I wanted to take on the helmet molds, but I was still way too knew to the prop building world, so glad I didn't at the time)
It wasn't long after until FettPride had made an acquisition of a screen cast helmet and began producing those for a period of time. However, those who may know him or of him understand that he's more or less dropped off the face of the earth due to his "business dealings." So there's one down.
Asok, was another member of TheDentedHelmet and here on the RPF. While I didn't speak with him all but maybe once or twice, he seemed like a cool guy. Unfortunately, he passed away and it was a huge blow to the community. From what I understand, his wife was either putting them out or fulfilling the remaining orders that were still left over before passing them on, but it is rumored that AnimeFan acquired said molds...
**EDIT**
AnimeFan got back to me over on TDH just last night. He seems to be wanting to produce a new mold for the helmet. I'll be getting one through him at a later point in time
Finally, is Bobamaker. He's the only one I know of still offering them in both standard and cold-cast fiberglass.
I had heard that RS Props was making them, but I have yet to see photos or other evidence of such.
So, what do you all think of this? I'd hate for this particular prop that derives from the original molds to get lost in the sauce forever....
