Mystery Helmet vs. DP Deluxe Comparison *PICS*

Wow! I never thought there'd be THAT much difference! Are you sure your old one is a DP Deluxe recast and not a DP '95 recast? :)

I can't WAIT til mine comes in (hopefully this week)!
 
Looks good!!! Lots of difference in the flare.

I ordered mine two days ago but am still waiting for confirmation from a TDH member to confirm that he shipped it out. I've confirmed he got the payment already!!!!!

OK
 
The mystery helmet is a very nice piece and I am happy to own one. Has a nice shape to it and is overall
much nicer than a DP DLX. The only question I have is the range finder ear piece which is too large? You
can see it on TKs helmet in the first shot the way it hangs below. Not a big deal, just odd…

I didn't even notice that until I started assembling it and then I didn't know which one was more accurate. I just need to pop it off and sand it down. Here's a ref photo:

Just do a search for Mystery Helmet and you will find the info of it's origons..
It has nothing to MLC and MLC2.....
There are some FS in the Cargo hold as well.

Just wanted to pop in and give everyone an update, a few things have came up in the last couple days to bog me down a little.
1. My drivers licence expired at midnight Monday/ Tuesday, and I'm going to have to bum rides to the shop and post office till I can get it renewed. (Hopefully Thursday the 25th.)

2. The mold for the RF topper split the last time I used it, and I'm making a new one now. (it was getting rattier than I like to use anyway)

3. Still waiting for the visors, but I'm expecting them hopefully by Friday.


Thanks for being patient, I'm getting them out as quick as I can :)

Afternoon Sarge,

How goes the license bit. Get it back yet?

I noticed that on the 24th you posted the above information so those of us who have ordered stuff could be informed of what was going on.

Any updates that you can give us? I noticed you were online here (Monday, 4:00PM Eastern Standard) however haven't seen a post from you in a few days.

Regards,
OverKill (Yes yes, the nosey investigator).

Yeah, got that taken care of as soon as I could get out. I didn't have any paperwork on me with the "new" address, so it still has the "old" one, (the County gave us all new addresses last year for better 911 response) so if I get pulled over, I'll have to explain that, but everything else is cool.

I've been sending them out every couple of days since getting my license back, two at a time (hehe, more than that and they give you dirty looks in the P.O. line :p) I'll be heading up to the 24 hour P.O. at the airport tonight w/ two more, and snagging more boxes while I'm there. Right now, I'm caught up with paid customers and am actually one helmet kit ahead. I should have all the paid ones sent out by Thursday.

The mold is starting to go- a peanut size chunk came out of the flat spot where one of the ears attach last night, which I'll be dremeling off before sending any future castings out, but when the molds get bad enough that I can't send a presentable casting out, I'll be retiring it, unless I can get at least 10 more people who'd want one. Then I'll go ahead and make a new mold. I'm going over tomorrow night and pull some more, and will keep doing them till something major happens like a big tear on the main helmet, or part of the visor rips out.

Ok Fang, please send me (via PM) any tracking and duty information that the PO gives you so I can ensure and track if necessary through customs.

So, the mould is starting to fall apart? Acck, don't tell me that... I assume you'll treat your Canadian brother well and send him something decent ;o)

Don't worry too much, I've learned over the years, that my ideas about what's acceptable to send out, are fairly high- I sent some Starship Troopers stuff to someone a few years ago, and "I" thought they looked like crap, and was already apologizing for them before they arrived, and when they buyer got them he was like "What are you talking about?!?!" "these are fine!" Basically, I look at a piece before I send it out and ask "Would "I" be willing to build this up?" and so being pretty lazy myself, most of the stuff that goes out doesn't need too much clean-up at all. :)

Two more went out the door today, I'm going to try to get the last two out tomorrow! :)

I got one out, but I had to bring yours back and put it in a non-USPS box since you're in Canada. (my fault entirely- I'm having brain farts left and right today.) I'll have my wife drop it off on her way to work tomorrow. I'll PM you your tracking number here in a second.

-Sarge

[EDIT] D'OH! I can't do that either- Delivery confirmation doesn't go out of the states either. I'll have to send you the insurance or customs number when my wife get's home. :(
 
I receieved my cape USPS Global Priority Mail with no problems what so ever and it was sent from Indiana. That was sent last week and took all of 2-3 days to get here. I'm sure it wouldn't cost that much to utilize this method.

But, ship it however you feel will get it here safetly.

That looks really good!! It is amazing how the bucket totaly changes the overall look of the costume. It looks 1000% better the DP bucket you had, it makes your suit look totally different.

TK409: Damn nice job bud and yes Lynn is correct, it makes things look waaaaaay different. Can hardly wait to get mine shipped. Where did you purchase yours from if you don't mind me asking? I seem to have problems getting stuff shipped up here to Canada as evidenced by some posts in this thread.

SGTFANG: You know I'd pay a little bit extra to have it shipped via a more secure method so that I can track that it has at least departed the United States. This prevents anything from getting lost in the mail or misplaced as well as eases my piece of mind.

OK, I know you're eager to get started on it and all, but BREATH! :p It went out yesterday (Friday) by Global USPS. If it's not there, by next Monday (the 13th), let me know and I'll look into it. :)

TK409- That's a KILLER pic!
