Hey folks,
I'll be posting shortly the pics and shoutouts for COMIC-CON! Man it was a blast... I'm still trying to convince myself that I am not, indeed, Boba Fett. It's hard, but I'm making progress...
I'm standing there in a booth (in costume) and I see a wall of star wars helmets. I didn't want to take the helmet off, so I'm just touching the helmets and trying to get a good look at them. I ask one of the exhibitors if those are Don Post or Rubies. He said they're Rubies. I asked him if they used the same molds or rehashed the same old crappy 97 molds and sort of dropped a few opinions about rubies quality at the same time. WEEEELLL... guess who's booth I was standing in? lol... yup, it was the Rubies booth lol
Well I came back later without the costume and got to check the helmets.
Jango: correct 'closed' ear piece. Visor extends a little further towards the bottom but is still not 'full'. The helmet is very elongated, not 'circular'. Sort of snoutlike...
Boba: Same shape as Jango, very snoutlike and poor quality.
Royal Guard: Thinner, lighter, brighter color. The mold appears to be very, uh, well-defined. Meaning the edges are hard and very 'chiseled' whereas the DP ones were more fluid and rounded. It was only $45 and the fetts were around $60
Biker Scout: Looked good, I didn't notice any difference between it and the old DP's, but that point would be better answered by our resident scouts...
All in all, find yourself another source for Fett helmets, or try and reshape these...
