there are actually 4 differnet kinds. the red one is at target and the white and blue ones are at walmet. thered one has a camera thing liek cody's but longer and some extra greeblies.
this is a great helmet . bigger ,and better shape then rubies by far, price is affordable,and very eazy to modd for trooping ,or for a mold. i think alot of people will be troopin in these. in my opinion i would fix the vizor ,fiber inside ,and give it a killer paint job. oh and studio trooper. you go back with out you chick an get your helmet!
I was at Wal-Mart today and was checking those out and playing with the buttons. I'm hoping I'll get one for Christmas (and the Millenium Falcon) I had the money but I bought a 12" German Soldier to get the last Ark sticker I needed. I also grabbed the last 2 1st day issue Clone Wars figures that were there.
yes,yes,yes. go see one first hand. first i was like, no way they made a toy helmet this good, and then, and it's only $30! Felt like grabbing the whole shelf of em for my many modd ideas...
Look at that, and tell me it's impossible to do that with some bondo, a fresh coat of paint, etc. That's my current pet project. With any luck, if it turns out well, this might become the new helmet of choice for anyone working on a Ep. II clone on a budget.
Looks good Ceric! Post some photos of your mods on this helmet. I have been thinking of doing some mods on mine as well. Adding some Commander yellow paint and mayhap some battle wear as well. Keep us posted on your mods and I will do the same!
Just remember that these are not very accurate and require work. They are like the DPs of the clone helmets. Off the shelf they look just plain wrong, but with a lot of love you can make it look pretty decent and be able to pull it off.
I'm new to the forum, but have been watching this site for a long time, and again i'm glad i finnaly joined. This site and its members have helped me make some very cool costumes. I was wandering about these helmets as alot of times there junk but after seeing it here i think i can re tool it and have it look great thanks again
WOW!!! You say the light really works?!? That is awesome!!! I'm gonna get one, rip off the light, and stick it on my bucket! To bad they don't come out till October.:cry
