It's a soft, black foam padding and it's laid in there quite nicely, covers the whole interior like an Anovos Premier helmet. About the same thickness too. I'll get a picture and post it here.
Who makes the best Mandalorian Bucket?

Here, this is better because I'll most likely forget to take a picture later. lol

That’s pretty sweet. I’m definitely ordering one. Gonna go heavy on the weathering too!

Also, meant to ask. Did you get the small or the larger size? And do you have a big noggin? My heads about 7 1/2”-3/8” on a hat. And how long from day 1 ordering to arriving at your front door ?

I didn't specify which size I wanted so I'm not sure which one I got, probably the smaller of the two. Anyway I'm in the same hat size range and the helmet fits well with room to spare.
I got in on the March preorder, that was March 8. Got the helmet on May 9, so basically two months.

Ok that’s good to know on the sizing. And wow!! So you just got it then. This might be the only time ANOVOS is quicker delivery

IDK if you've been following the Anovos threads on places like TheRPF or not, but they've stopped delivering in a timely manner on the Mando helmets, a few people are up to 2 months waiting now. I'm already sore at them, I've been waiting for years for my FOTK kit. Anyway, I considered the delivery time to be very fair considering all the things he's making right now and the lengths of time I've had to wait for other custom items.

That’s news to me, I know ANOVOS is a spotty and shady company. Hasbro was true to their promise.
I was being sarcastic, two months is a short time to wait for a quality product. I’ve thought about the ANOVOS a lot simply because it’s the license prop from the series, but I think at the end of the day, spending half and supporting a small business is a better way to go about it. still getting great quality. I could buy two for the price of one!

The ones on his Instagram do look really good. How much do they run?

They're $300 + shipping total, he asks for a $100 deposit when you sign up for the preorder.
I have not had a chance to take any quality pics yet, but if you look up to post #22 you'll find a link to his instagram page, he's doing everything through there and has a ton of pictures and videos of the helmets.

$300 finished?! Wow! Hopefully I can get on his May list...

Yeah he’s hard to beat I think. Gotta wait til July 15th to get it but worth it.

Do you know the origins of his helmet?
Since you have one, would you take some measurements:
Visor Cutout: Height
Interior: Front to Back/ Left to Right
Overall Height
Why did you pick this one over the others?
Thanks,
Shawn

Well, I didn’t make the jsin preorder list. Said he got 10,000 messages. Oh well. On to the next vendors. Who wants some money? Lol

Email Far Away Creations if you want to get on their list. They are making them now.

Yeah, I didn't either. I wasn't exactly sure what to do...so I just messaged him at 12:01 and didn't get a response. I guess I'll just have to try again in July on his next run...
Captainlonestar
Jr Hunter
I did the same thing, he replied “check back tomorrow for PayPal info”, so I noticed a timer, sent him a message at the end of the countdown and haven’t gotten a reply, just saw a post he sold out. I’m not gonna try again in two months.
I’m just gonna order from someone else. This is the way

Yeah, I emailed Far Away Creations but it's going to be hard to beat the price of the JSin one...I just wish his preorder system was a bit more clear and structured.

Ok,
What can anyone tell us about them?
1. How was this sourced for accuracy?
2. Does this come finished or unfinished?
3. If finished, do you do Alumaluster and weathered?
4. Cost for finished and unfinished?
5. Fiberglass and if not, how sturdy are these?
I think that's about it for now.
