unless MR hires Marrow Sun or Spideyfett to paint 500 of these helmets they will be in trouble!! LOL

Well I'm good for about 150 of 'em if Spidey wants to pick up my slack on the other 350 :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
I think that the helmets we at the dented helmet have created will be superior. We are a team of people who eat, drink, and breathe Boba Fett (I am at least). Fett has consumed our lives, and we have devoted hours and hours of research, and trial and error to this. I think that MS, and BM will still be a step up. Besides, no matter what, it will be a REDICULOUS price.
 
If it's such a RIDICULOUS price, hopefully they will take the time figure out a way to mass produce these with at least a decent paintjob. Surely there is some way to do computer controlled painting or something.

What do you think a rediculous price would be?

FYI.... Back in the day the fiberglass DP Delux Fett helmets were $1000-1200 out of the gate and went MUCH higher on eBay.
These were highly inaccurate and were still commanding these prices and they were selling like crazy.

Best case is you get a helmet that is cast from the exact MOM helmet that WAS used in ESB, not someone's impression of size and details. Then you get a pretty accurate paint job that will need a few extra scratches and nicks for the anally obsessed.

Middle case is you get an exact helmet that will need to be repainted.

Worst case is you get a helmet that was tweaked by MR to meet what they think it should look like and will still sell like the Deluxe and be used to create other "works of art" without much worry about recasting "rules".

I wouldn't rule out MR just because it might not be a 100% paintjob but with MR having access to the actual helmets may give the MS, MSII and BM a run for the money.

As for the MR tweaking, I do like the looks of the MR stormtrooper.

oh man I gotta have that maul fx. The Obi-wan is dissappointing, but I didnt like the luke ROTJ either.

Agree on both points, I HAVE to have that maul!!

hey i just realised that if MR was to make a truely accurite ESB helmet it will have to have RF lights & a servo controled RF antena. that might mean that well take a large bite out of our pockets

The RF antenna on real Fett helmets aren't servo controlled, as best we can tell. It uses good old-fashioned hand power.
well then they will still need to have the blinking led's in the RF, correct?
 
Thats true, I can't see that adding much to the cost. I'm not postive but I think most if not all the original helmets were made with working LEDs, although in their present state some of them have been taken apart and had the electronics removed. So depending on which helmet MR used as reference, they may not even be aware that the lights did blink...

I smell a Don Post like paint-job coming along w/ those.

They will really have to pull out ALL the stops to get it right,and actually released when they say it will be.
Either way it will be interesting to see the size of the helmet.ESB correct?or did it say?
