Superjedi is a true master of the Force.
Why?
Because, there is no way to explain how else he was able to produce this STUNNING, STUNNING MASTERPIECE that I have sitting in front of me..... I drove 120 miles there and back today to pick up the helmet, having been waiting for the confirmation email from the pickup location. And, as soon as I took it out of the box, I was floored. Honestly, guys. The photos DO NOT DO IT JUSTICE. None at all. You have to see this for yourself!
The packaging was superb also; the helmet arrived in a large box, packed with peanuts, and another box containing the helmet carefully wrapped in a soft fabric like material and bubble wrap inside this box. The RF stalk and RF were individually wrapped in the same type of packaging, and labeled. In short, the way the helmet was packaged, it would have survived an orbital drop! So, thanks for that also!
After getting home and dragging my jaw through the door into the house after me, I mustered enough concentration to instal the little blinker unit I got from the TDH member "salamander king" into the RF (less than 5 minutes of work! this thing fits perfectly inside with no modification necessary), and put the helmet on display. I will be installing padding, fan and most likely my EAS super hearing system shortly.
In the meantime, here are some shots.
And here, the two Mando hunters side by side..... separated by nearly 4,000 years of history
Lastly, Eric, you have transformed a cast that sat untouched in the closet for nearly two years with no completion plans in sight into my most prized Star Wars possession. I cannot thank you enough!
