NEW MR FETT HELMET PICS

[cojake]

The interrior is nicely padded. Go to Starwarshelmets.com and click on the MR helmet link for an inside shot of the prototype.

Too bad no interior photos.

we have a ton of more pics....these are just the ones I was able to upload...

here you go..

Thanks bro...and yes the PP3 taper was scanned..

While all the real helmets have a certain degree of wonkiness on on the left mandible, I disgree that the visor pinch on the MR is directly from the PP3 scan.

Here is proof:

On the left, is a photo of Montagar's MR Fett helmet. On the right, is a photo of the actual ILM Prepro 3 helmet that MR scanned for its replica. One can clearly see that the MR helmet's visor assembly pinches the mandibles closer together than what they should be.

I haven't recieved mine yet, but that tapering thing is definately bugging me. I don't understand how they could let that pass quality control. After the first few were made, they should've realized the problem. On the other hand, it will make it distinct and immediately noticeable. Maybe since I haven't received mine yet, the defective ones were shipped out first and mine will be corrected. ha! I doubt it, but that would be funny.

 

[Spideyfett]

hmmm..Interesting..

Maybe its a combination of both..?? no?..

Cause by looking at the pics what we are really saying is MR could have fixed it?? and didn't?:facepalm
Cause the PP3 does show a tapper..and not completely parallel mandibles from top to bottom...

MR makes a great helmet but I still cannot stand the misted dirt they spray over the whole thing. It just looks like a bad paint job if you get close enough to it. For screen purposes it's great, but for up close and personal it looks a little too intentional.

Either way, I'm still going to display it proudly. I have no intention of trying to "fix" it. By altering it, you ruin take away from what gives a MR helmet it's individuality. I would hate to spend that much for a licensed replica, only to alter it. Like I said before, I hope to get a helmet from a board member and make it how I like. Just my 2 cents.

I have to say the earlier shots of the MR that were released did have a heavy amount of weathering with the "Rust splatter", As seen on STARWARSHELMETS.COM...but on this one we looked at they really toned it down with less of all that.....for the better I think

 

[tubachris85x]

Perhaps they had made the molds, but due to the fact that their licensing with LFL was ending shortly, they didnt have the time to fix them all? Thats probably the only reason I could think of. But on the other hand, this should have been fixed immediatly

Hey Spidey, just one question...

What are the ears made off ??? what material... ?? resin, coldcast ? real metal ??

Same with the stalk ??? is aluminium ? or other material painted ?

That's something I've been wondering a loooooooooooong time !!!

P.S. the more I look it, the more I like it... it's really perfect (ok, not counting the mandibles, I know, I think I will mod it, once I know how could I do it... FP..??xDDD ).

Ben.

I totally agree..

Well, I have to give Lee (rogue studios) credit for telling me early on what they were going to be....then Phillip Wise confirmed it for me...But the EARS are Die-cast.....and extremely cold to the touch.

and the same for me too, the more time I spent with it the more I like it...and now I want one...it kinda grows on ya.

Oh and one other thing, it's got some sold wieght to it!! for sure.

 

[Benkenove]

And the stalk.. the same ? or real alum ??

P.S. (what is exactly die-cast ... something like coldcast or what ?? excuse my ignorance, but sometimes my english is a little limited)

I don't feel that the "pinch" visor look will ruin it's distinctiveness as an MR. The pinch to me actually distracts. In my eye the PP3 and Hero appear "almost" identical. I have no issues with a repair, however, the concern is how much stress that could cause a crack around the edge of the eye slit. Ummm, like the Hero.... that might just be something.

Die-cast is actual metal. If you remember all those hot wheel cars, it says "die-cast metal." Its basically like liquid metal as the casting material in a mold (from what i understand, could be wrong about the casting processes, but it is metal) Cold casting is the use of an aluminum powder mixed into fiberglass resin, so that once casted, it gives the appearence of real metal

Absolutely. They all came from the same place. Any differences could be attributed to trimming, assembling, and warping, which are minor variations.

hey spideyfett, the helmet looks like it could fit a few differnt size heads,would it be good for us big headed felloews or is it kinda snug under that beautiful helmet?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated ,thanks.

 

[DarthMiller]

I dont have that big of a head and I felt like it was tight on my head....

the have so much padding on the inside it makes it feel much tighter than it actual is.

What would be a good helmet for me to buy to wear then, I bought one of the ebay and when i got it I couldn't even see out the slot through the visor,figured i mess with it some to see what i could do with it since it was very cheep to purchase.

 

[Wolfi]

What are the box dimensions?

 

[Devilstar2k2]

What are the box dimensions?

Ditto. And possibly the shipping weight that was on the label?
