Help With A Fett Helmet Christmas Present

[Kevin1701]

I'm looking for a Fett helmet for my son -- he has a good Stormtrooper helmet and Darth Revan mask. Is there a new commercial helmet coming? I've seen ads for pre-orders.

If not, any advice on entry-level prop quality helmets?

Thanks.

How old and what's his size? Cruzer offers a good kid sized helmet. Otherwise animefan and asok offer nice budget kits

Sorry, he's six two and 19. So a full size helmet.

Definitely can't go wrong with animefan or asok then

But getting it before Christmas might not happen!

 

[Kevin1701]

Understood. Where should I look for these?

Both are members here. You can simply send them a PM, though I'm fairly certain Asok is having some issues (possibly health related) and is currently unable to respond to PMs or emails.

Here is one of animefan's threads for his budget kit:

That's good advice, but keep in mind those are unpainted helmets. There isn't an easy place to pick up a completed lid, but you can check the cargo hold and see what pops up. Sometimes there can bit a bit of sell of as people need funds for the holidays.
There are a bunch of talented artist here, but there are extra costs and likely not enough time to get it done for Christmas.

Hmm, agreed. Christmas 2016 might be more realistic.

Should also decide if it's for ESB or ROTJ Boba. Your best bet is to keep your eye on the cargo hold. Need to determine what amount of funds you are willing to part with too. Fett, even on a budget, is a good chunk of change.

You can even contact Darth Vorhees. Awesome person to deal with and affordable

That's true. He's sporadic but quick when working. The helmet looks good. Never seen one in person but it seems to be a MR variant with some extra flare (I welcome correction from Lou). Stand up guy. No doubt.
