New MR Fett Helmet Master

[Rogue Studios]

That is overall so that is just an off the cuff estimate nothing accurate so don't hold me to it.

I know this had been said over 57 times, but Lee, this is incredible. I think every member here should pay their respect. As soon as this mother is released, I will own one. I promise.

 

[SingleSeat]

Indeed. I think that counts for a lot of us here. I'd say this helmet has been saved from certain death!

 

[MacRory]

Outstanding work!

 

[COSFett]

I saw the original thread on the RPF and my jaw hit the floor then. Now, each time I look at it, it still continues to amaze me.

Lee, you've set the bar...

 

[never ending fett]

I know Lee has more or less left TDH, but does anybody have any updates on this? When is the scheduled release date for the mass produced version? How much of the detail Lee put into his master will be mass produced?

 

[Scott Kaufmann]

Well I sent a message to MR Customer Care on myspace asking if she could possibly tell me the possible scheduled release date and here is her reply. "We are thinking about doing it but it hasn't been a 100% confirmed yet. When we know we will certainly let you all know! "

Has anyone heard anything new?

 

[Wes]

I will ask Lee if he has heard anything but as far as I am aware - No

Sorry to necro post but I didn't think it would be appropriate to start a new thread. I have only seen pictures of the MR booth at Toy Fair on rebelscum.com so far. I was really excited to see the Bobam Gree, and TK helmet on display. I just hope that the paintjobs on these helmets are clean and look nice when they are actually produced.

Boba Helm looks nice, but is that a Hero Version Stormtrooper helmet I see. Are those being made? I thought if was a Stunt version, gitty if it is the Hero v. !

 

[Scott Kaufmann]

I recall reading somewhere that there would actually be three seperate versions of the TK helmet for sale but that just may have been speculation.

I dunno that tk helmet doesn't look so great to me... too symmetrical... maybe is just the camera shot.

And look how large the ear cap is on the boba bucket... its doesnt look like the master version at all. The paint job doesnt match either... It kinda looks like a repainted don post.

EDIT: Wait I am dumb... but the boba the tk and the xwing pilot buckets are the riddel versions (or maybe mini MR if they are new)


This shot is two totally different buckets for boba and tk.... They look much better.

Those first two pictures you posted are the mini helmets...

 

[KaanE]

I think that on the first page, the Boba Fett's helmet is a miniature, and the second page is the master of Master Replicas. You can see the difference on the paintjob and the helmet in general. And on the first Boba Fett Helmet Pic, you can see a lightsaber on the rear.

[Scott Kaufmann]

The first two links posted by NikNak are the miniature helmets. I believe you are correct in saying that they are the Ridell versions. I recall reading an articel that stated that MR acquired the old Ridell molds or something along those lines.

 

[NikNak aka]

Yeah I fixed my post. Silly me jumping to conclusions sorry folks.

 

[Boba Fett]

Man I can only imagine how much they are gonna charge for this one.

 

[CombatBaby]

Man I can only imagine how much they are gonna charge for this one.

Not $120, which is what i paid for a my first mystery helmet on ebay 3 years ago and not $90, which is what I paid for my most recent mystery helmet from Sgt. Fang.

I'm just afraid with the MR helmets coming out, that the private sellers might get the crack down (which would be too bad because they are STILL cheaper and a lot more accurate)

no dis on paintjobs or craftsmanship but low run items are usually nicer than things that require mass production in this hobby

If i were to bet, i would say $350-550
