Don’t know if it’s lens distortion, but the dome on the AT-AT driver’s helmet looks undersized. Not sure what size of aph helmet was used to cast the dome on the original, but the screen used one looks quite bulbous when compared to the RS version.
Would you guess the completed AT-AT will be around 300-350 pounds? The completed TIE Pilot does not show the price.

People who want helmets from the newer films can't order those from RS or efx but they can from Anovos.This is very exciting! I would love to add all of the new RS lids to the collection (AT-AT, TIE, X-Wing, & Snowtrooper). Who needs ANOVOS or eFX?
That makes sense. The Anovos AT-AT is quite a bit higher than the TIE. Unfortunately the only price I see for the TIE on the RS site is for the kit.I think traditionally AT-AT helmets have commanded a higher price due to more greeblies, a need to paint the plastic and slightly more complicated construction.
I’d be surprised if they offered it for £300-£350- would think £400 plus might be a more likely price.
Pure speculation on my part, I hasten to add!
I saw that facebook post too. I've been waiting to see what the current opinion is on the best/most accurate tie helmets
What are all your opinions based on their Tie offering vs the new CFO one coming out? It says their tie helmet comes from a cast of a studio used one that is now in collectors hands. I thought during the last discussion that no one had gotten their hands on a studio used one to cast. Is what RS saying true? If so then they really do have the most accurate tie helmet. I'm taking an particular interested because I'm in the market for a tie helmet.
Heard these were coming a year ago (complete AT-AT suit also, unless that's changed), but I'm not sure about ordering anything, based on my sub-par experiences with the Scout helmet and TIE commission.
Maybe CFO will make an AT-AT lid after the TIEs. Kinda feeling done with buying from RS, EFX, and Anovos. Too many issues.
Scout was a preorder, my issues were: delayed delivery that everyone else also had, mine arrived 15 months after ordering. It had multiple hairline cracks and had to be replaced. I let them know it had issues immediately, and after sending back the cracked one (and paying shipping), 4 months later they emailed me pictures of the replacement for me to give approval on. By that time lots of other people had posted images of their own RS lids, all of which had a very similar weathering pattern (directly mimicking the beat up look of the screen-used helmet from the StarWarsHelmets website. For some reason the first helmet I had received (the cracked one) had a much simpler black spray paint weathering, of a more genetic type. Since they asked if the paint job met with my approval, I asked if they could instead rework it to be more in line with the screen-used helmet that had clearly been the inspiration for all of the other weathered RS lids I had seen. They said this would be no problem. ...and so I was a bit surprised when I got a shipping notification a couple days later. When the replacement lid arrived, sure enough, the paint scheme was exactly the same as the pictures I had just rejected. At that point I was a bit fed up with the whole process, and didn't want to pay shipping to send back another helmet, so I turned my attention to the TIE.What issues did you have with RS? Pre-orders or normally stocked items?
