My top ten outside Star Wars would be (although ESB is the only really GOOD SW movie ) Seven Samurai Ghostbusters Shawshank Redemption Green mile Gladiator Last Samurai The Stand Batman Dark Knight (Umm WOW, Just saw it two days ago) Handcock (really... Thought it was that good) Transformers

Things about a set used at Disney that I notice is the trim, no bite points and well put together. They are in rig a while, so walking and such should not be a prob... I have to say though black tube stripes and the lack of the Bicep (I know its there but is just to high) kinda takes it from me. The Vader is just hideous. I am not a Jango fan, but that is a nice costume. Now SWW does the Legion get to bring a Vader or are they not allowed to do face costumes?

Take a friend not in armor. Spotters make all the difference. Meet the 501st there. Have a blast. After the event trim all the spots that rub and bite. Repeat.

My son got a wad of toys today. Loves em.

Now here is a stupid thought... The TE2 and Gino are Styrene. All these pics of the bump are glossy. This would point to Paint. The TM is ABS. No Paint required. Lets see an unpainted Gino/TE bump.

TE2 VS TM Bad Camera, but a start. So far I see this... Ginos Mystery TM pic had the bump Ghosts has the bump No bump on 252 9135 TKDUEONO FBJ So if the bump was on there, how would he know to remove it? One thing I notice that is there is the tube kink. The TE2 does not have this. Nor the AP. This is suppost to be on the originals. Does your helmet have the kink Gino? JoeR started that discussion. His has it as well. The TM has the Tear Ovals. The TM is over all shorter than the TE. Its under bite is Far greater and this is not extended. Its part of the sculpt.

Nah... I have the full size one to fuss over...

And If you are wrong, yours is gone as well. I see this as a two way road. A man willing to share his knowledge and talent and one who is not.

We are looking at a Bump that so far has been on 2 helmets. Ghost's and the one Gino has a picture of that is not willing to tell us who its from. Far from Damning. A bump. We are all nuts. I can imagine TM sitting at his molds laughing at this. Bro I hope you are. By by the way, the man can sculpt. Seen his pint sized trooper? Where did he recast that from? Look at the undercut. Look at the proportions. Look at the helmet. Man I am itching for a camera of good quality. Could he maybe have used the TE as a guide? Yes.. Why not? Oh yea, in some eyes that is recasting. Hogwash. He sculpted it. Blind faith on my part... might be. Ill have egg on my face if proven otherwise. I don't see it. I see a flame job on a man that has nothing tied to the originals save for a lot of hard work. To me its all about TM being called a Liar. That is not right. For what? Bragging rights? I guess I will remain one of the few that never get it. I guess I just play dress up to much.

I don't think anyone had to Help TM. His work stands for its self. Yea, vastly different opinion. And you share yours just as quick FON. I see Gino slamming the character of someone so why not ask on his? Yours? Mine? Are we all any better than anyone else. No. I am sure you don't like me either. We always seem to butt heads on threads like this. So it is. This thread from the get go was an attack. They always are. It always puts a line in the sand on crap that at the end of the day is silly. My neighbors now are sure I am nuts taking pics of two helmets... Yeesh.

Crappy camera. Still waiting on my bud to call me back. TE2 TM Undercut

CAP, TE2, AP, TM.

Now that made me laugh. Smitty... Its the Swaggah!

I am not really looking to cash in, just make sure before I give these to my kids. I mean, there Toys right? So off they go to the play room. Thanks guys!

Wonderful. Yes, tons of info is "regurgitated". I only "regurgitate" on the stuff I have owned from a "dress up" point of view. At least now we all know where you stand.

Soon... Ill report on that as soon as I do.

Gino, and this is DIRECTLY at Gino. I believe TM. Why? Because I can. I have this armor and his helmet. I see far to many things that are not on the TE2. The close ups you provide on the "bump" this helmet does not have. Birds eye view? Still Different. Much different. The TM is slightly wider. Soon I will be taking shots just so all can see for the new site any way. This just adds another reason. I know, you can say that I assembled it wrong. I a sure you have a ton of great sounding slams on this helmet worked up in your head. Why? Yes, you do have something to loose. To me it is not all that hard to imagine that he did sculpt it. It was hand sculpted once? Right? Liz Moore did it why not any one else? I hope that TM doesn't chime in. I think hes work speaks for itself. If TM someday admits he did use a base helmet that is on him. I don't see why he would lie either. Your rude, hijacking style is abrasive and not needed. It spools others up and just brings this to a petty level. What is your beef with everyone Gino? Most of us really don't give a rip anymore. I have been blessed with having met many a cool person in this hobby. You are sadly not one of those. What you are doing is wrong Gino. You seem to feed on mew guys. When there are enough around you start crap like this. I see this happen in cycles. Yea... You may have the best helmet ever. I see this as yet another attack on a persons cred where a better looking helmet lies. Do you have a TM in front of you? Can you do better super awesome shots? And why cant you say our source for the photos. You have already called out Jez. I am sure that makes him feel good. Or are you just spreading mistrust just to do it? I think you need to sit down and really ponder why it is you are in this hobby. It is truly not a hobby to you. This has turned ugly. Check your ego at the door. We all WEAR this plastic here.

Yea, got it bro... I just have not updated the list... I have been pretty slack on PMs this last week or so... sorry man.

I know nothing about these other than my bud thought I would like them. I know who they are but have no idea on if they are sought after. Before I let my kids play with them, thought I would ask if any body knows these. No blasters came with them, no accessory at all.

I dont know if I ever asked for some... Did I? If not, Ill be PMing you info... Later on! Thanks for this by the way. Awesome.

I am lining up comps of these helmets. Inside and out, photos. Plain photos. Sorry to see your thread get bushwhacked FBJ. Great lid.

You all should be seeing these roll in this week... My shipping times kinda stink, but I cant help it... Hang in!

Finally! Man a Pauldron is dumb on a non TD. YEA! I have always thought that many get accessory envy of the TD. I have been guilty in the past... Although I wear one as Vader. Hard to explain with out a pic, but trust me... I wear one. You would just never know I do. :D

It arrived yesterday. I took it from the box and instantly thought it was huge! I double checked the auction and it looks that I bought a version for the FX. He states it will fit all models, so here goes. I will rate fit and looks in the helmets. Heat later on at a troop. 10 is perfection and 1 is waste of money. Quality of the pad design... Stitching is good, padding is foam like in packing. Standard stuff. The black fabric is the same on all his stuff, matches my Vader one well. Came with a dome pad that Velcros on, but none of these helmets require that. Maybe the FX, but not screen sized. There is a hole cut for the backs of the mic tip mounts and a roll in the back with Velcro straps for wires and such if you run amps. I will say that if you do though, it will be harder to fit your noggin in if you have this pad. There is no where for a fan. You will have to mod it. Out of the box, just the pad rates a 7. What hurts it is the dome black liner is not attached to the pad. It slides around. It is also larger, so it bunches at the top. Even it this is in an FX lid it will do this. In the AP. No way. The AP is just to small. I would have to hack this up pretty good, not use the dome pad at all and still smash my way in. Far to restrictive inside, and well... forget a fan, or amp set up. The AP is the smallest lid in my collection, and this makes it unwearable if used. Looks great for a display rig or if you are trying to fit a kid with it. Rating of 2... Only for display. AP guys, Don't buy one. In the TM. My helmet has a huge undercut. I love it, but It is hard to get in and out of anyway, and this just makes it harder. Once inside though, it felt good, but much tighter. It will require trimming and modding to make it nice. I would rate it a 5. In the CAP Made the helmet fit snug. Harder to get in and out, but not that much. This helmet has the second largest opening, so that helps. Takes a little adjusting, but once in would only require hot glue to hold it.a fair 7. In the TE2. I thought it was made for it. I mean wow. It slid right in, fit everything save the mic tip backside. That would be the only needed change. Easy in and easy out, makes the lid fit like a glove to my head. Very Very comfortable. This is the helmet it will stay in. I am actually impressed. Makes a great lid that much better. Rate this one a 9. minor mod work, glue it in, plop it on. Troop. With this said, I am going to finish up my TE2 and troop with this on. I will rate heat and such. I do not run fans in the winter. A fan will require mod work on the liner. I also use external mics, so I cannot rate the helmet systems. I have a skull works around here somewhere, but i think it is hacked up... Hope this helps a little... Ill post pics of the finished TE2 later on.
