imm0rtal reaper Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Hey guys, tried building my FX helmet today and FAILED. So now I have to get another helmet. I've seen a couple on ebay and was hoping some of the more seasoned troopers could take a look and tell me if any are worth getting. Here are the links: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/STAR-WARS-STORMTROOPER-HELMET-ANH-FULL-SIZE-1-1-/150441797477?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Collectables_SciFi_fantasyCollectables_EH&hash=item230707a765 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/STAR-WARS-STORM-TROOPER-HELMET-/320530753080?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Collectables_SciFi_fantasyCollectables_EH&hash=item4aa11f2638 Any help would be greatly appriciated Cheers Reaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK_LEPER Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 (edited) eh? Not crazy about either, but if I had to choose... probably the second one. Just buy an assembled TM or something like that. Edited May 12, 2010 by jawa001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkTrooper[TK] Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Well, I prefer the first one if I had to choose. I'm curious . . . how is the FX "ruined"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imm0rtal reaper Posted May 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Well pretty much ruined. After much fiddling and adjustment I finally got the pieces to go together, but there are massive gaps on the ear pieces and around the brow. Also, after putting it on I decided I'd like a more screen acurate one. Does anyone know where I could get a ANH screen acurate helmet for 80-100 pounds?

TK-7980 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Assembled or in kit form? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imm0rtal reaper Posted May 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Assembled preferably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imm0rtal reaper Posted May 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Also, where can I get hold of decent ANH helmets. I've seen plenty of fellow troopers posting saying they've picked up various lids and after a fair bit of searching I can't really find anything Any help on where to pick up helemts would help loads. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-7980 Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Overpriced for what they are... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrestonva[TK] Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 As noted in another thread, the new eFX on the Redford Films site appears to be an MRCE with a black ESB-style frown. Not that that's a bad thing - lots of troopers use MRCE and it's certainly EIB-qualified with a few mods. A good alternative to the FX bucket at a reasonable cost if you ask me, especially if you prefer the idealized look and you're looking for something preassembled. Besides, MRCEs had been getting expensive & hard to find as of late, so it's good that they are becoming available again at a reasonable price.
