Hasbro Clone

picked up the first version...

...and repainted it. with a bit of customizing.

you like?

Could of just waited for the WM version to come out. I realy like these for some reason, if I had kids, they'd deffintly all have them. I could call them by serial number too.

no...must have it now

Wow ...if you "dirtied up" the white some that helmet would be a great fit to your collection.
Everytime I see this helmet I have to talk myself out of getting it.I might just convience myself this weekend

Oh whats the "WM version"???is it a better version I should wait on???

Oh yeah! I'm really impressed with the quality of this "toy" helmet. My son is always trying to get it out of my hands, guess I'll have to buy him one too...

walmart.

there will be a 501st correct version for mk2 armor and a red version with camera, i think a cody as well.

Great, now I need to get this and add it to my collection

My jedi is finally ready and I have a strange urge to make a variation of it with clone armor

How well does the voice changer part of it work?

its okay, but you have to keep the button pressed to talk. unlike the optimus prime version where it stays on for about 2-3 minutes

Lookin good...really good

This helmet is cool...the only thing I don't like is how wide the visor is at the top

Nice job, congrats!

G-Fett

That actually looks really good. When do the other versions come out?

While looking at clone stuff, i foudn this. check out the helmet.

And a jedis wearin git.

Thats actually a good thing. Means you can short out the button and replace it with a switch to keep it on constantly.

Nice clone helmet!

Ru guys talking about that new hasbro clone trooper helmet cuz im thinking about getting one

um. yes. read first post. pics.....

when do the other versions come out?

october

Total noob question, but how do you get the paint lines so perfect on the angle? I'm assuming painters tape is used, but how do you get the angle so precise? Please excuse my ignorance on this matter, but I am really impressed with how good this looks. Good job!

which angle?

yes i used purple masking tape. shoudlve used the blue, as its better.

I guess angle isn't really what I mean. I'm just impressed by how well you got the tape lined up and how even it is on both sides. I had a hard enough time getting the kill stripes lined up!

ok, i just guessed. didint want to mess with measuring

I dare you to wear it to some events!

How hard would it be to add some extra plastic to the visor area to make it less wide? Then you could bondo over the seam, sand the whole thing, primer it and spray it white again, maybe a simi-gloss?

Does the light in the "tail fin" light up by any chance?

I went to an event yesterday and the other guy (after some malfunctions with the regular helmet) resorted to using one of these on his ARC trooper. A very nice helemt. I'm going to get one once money allows.

the light, unfortunately does not light up, but the helmet is amazingly comfortable.

This helmet is one of the most comfy helmets I have worn!!

Speak o' the devil... There's the ARC form the event now :p

I have one on order, should be here tomorrow with any luck, I will be doing a step by step conversion into an AOTC version with the narrower visor, as well as tidying up all the joins etc

Great! Please do post a walkthru - Id be very interested in this!

Dave

Got myself one

No time to mod but I will for sure - really nice lid even standard but Im waiting to see how you folks go with your mods... hopefully by the time Im ready there will be templates up somewhere!

On another note - and this may be somewhat cheeky - the red Target/Walmart helmet... is that an online offer only? Any chance a US TDH member could pick me one up if I paypaled the cash first?

Thanks folks,
Dave

That's what Brisk did to his, hope he doesn't mind I put up his picture, but it just looks great!

That looks great!

Wow, that really does look awesome.

the red orange and blue ones come out in october

Man that is nice!!!! I love the clones!! Maybe i should get one....

That makes me want to go out and buy one right now!

Here's mine next to my Fett and my custom mando helmet

I've tried gluing extra styrene to the visor area but it doesn't hold at all. any idea as to what I should use?

Check out Joe's (HeadlessHunter) thread... He used card stock, worked well for him?

Yes step right up check out my cough...amazing thread....... no, In my humble opinion its best to dismantle the helmet and build it up that way.

I used .20 gauge styrene w/ a 2-part Loctite plastic bonder and let it cure for 24 hours. It holds like a champ and looks like it was made that way.

It's great if you don't have the skill or patience for a complete bondo overhaul, like me.

I've got a thread called Hasbro Bucket Camo Mod where I describe it in detail. Check it out.
