RS Props Lineage Fett Helmet!

[joe]

Jango Fett Jr JojoFett95 oh really? I had no idea! I know ROTJ had the full board and dental files. I didn't know ESB officially was visor plastic and half of the motherboard.

Do either of you have the reference photo? I can't seem to find it in the gallery.

Edit: Nevermind found it. It just threw me off it was in 2 pieces instead of just an entire full length cast. So we'll need to glue it together before painting.

Here’s the best photo I’ve seen showing it from the inside:

RotJ has no full board. It was also two pieces.

Where is this picture from? Do you have it in-hand? The MQ 1 Casio Calculator cast seems a little funky to place behind the keyhole slots since it's like 2 pieces?

The photo was sent to me in an update email from RS. This is it before going into a box. Hopefully will have it in hand by end of the week.

RS really needs to do a "how do I put this thing together" video like they did with the ears. I was also unaware of the two-piece-key slot covering.

The ROTJ dose indeed use the complete Casio MQ-1 board. I’m not sure what you were referring to, as not using the full board?. Here’s a picture, of what I mean. The ROTJ helmet, also has two dental files, attached to the bottom of the board, separately.

Fingers are crossed mate, this wait is well worth it. It’s gonna be one hell of a treat, once will all have these in hand.

The helmets have/had only the upper part of the board behind the keyholes, the other half is mounted with the keypad on the left gauntlet.

Correct. Thanks for the info.

That's not correct. The RotJ helmet has a piece of Perspex, not the bottom of the board.

Here is the reference pic I was looking for.

Boba Fett Return of the Jedi Helmet

The Return of the Jedi Boba Fett helmet is often referred to as the RotJ helmet. This helmet was painted by Sandy Dhuyvetter's Daydream Productions. This helmet was painted during the preproduction of the Empire Strikes Back and it is unclear...

If someone could share prove of this, I would happily believe so. Iv only seen one photo, of the ROTJ, with the Perspex below the top board, alike the ESB.

That’s the one. Iv only seen thus far, that photo. Unlike plenty of references photos, for ESB. Is there any other phots, to prove it’s the same as the ESB keyslot layout?. I’m not aware.

What you believe makes not sense at all, but here you go.

Compare the back of the 2 hero helmets with the Casio MQ-1 circuit board and you'll see that the bottom half is not the same:

There you go, thanks for the info. Not sure what you mean KaanE, about what I believe makes no sense. I’m just trying to understand, as I’m not to familiar, with the interior of the ROTJ hero.

For those waiting on receiving their RS lineage helmets, I received a message from Andrea today.RSprops are currently dealing with a little set back,as to Rob operating from home, due to his son Having Covid-19. The team is working hard, to get these helmets out, ASAP and will be with us very soon.

My first Fett helmet was the Master Replica derived RS ROTJ Helmet. With it RS included a cast of the full MQ-1 circuit board.

From the available reference neither the ESB or ROTJ hero helmets had the full MQ-1 circuit board inside. As you can see RS are now providing the cast for the just the top part of the board and some plastic/Perspex for the lower part of the key slots. Nice!

That’s awesome, that RS included a cast of the top Casio board, along with the lower Perspex sheet. I’ll be using my found part Casio MQ-1 board. All the added accessories, is a welcome addition.
