Eric Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 i've seen the cartoon that it's from. it's not a stormtrooper (obviously) lol. but i dont think its all too old. either way, i have to laugh at the "it has been used and played with but i have not seen another one on ebay so i have decided to take a leap and put it out here" haha. as if that detail makes it suddenly priceless. same time... if i spent that much for a lousy helmet that might have cost 30 bucks... shipping better darn well be free.

Treg Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 It is kinda unfortunate because I have a feeling someone might actually buy this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBlackk Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) Looks like a scrubbing bubbles helmet. So rare, so worth it. Edited March 9, 2011 by JohnBlackk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Voorhees[501st] Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 ya know, that sticker with the lightning bolt... and the textured plastic its made from looks incredibly like a "lightsaber" i had when i was a kid. It was basically a glow in the dark sword. and im 90% sure it had a sticker on it just like that. If im right,m this is old, star wars era..like somewhere between 78-80 or so. Probably rare for what it is but, obviously not what he thinks he has. "the first stormtrooper helmet to hit the market"....ummmmmm no lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

synaptyx Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Have reported the listing as having a misleading title based on the rationale that this is not a Lucasfilm licensed Star Wars Stormtrooper product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chunkaholic Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) Looks like it was cut off right above the frown. Other than that it looks nothing like one, shame on the guy who buys it Edited March 12, 2011 by Chunkaholic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper18938 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I remember this helmet style from childhood - one of the many non-licensed things that hit the market. Remember there was HUGE Demand and VERY LITTLE supply for Star Wars stuff in the early days, so these type of things were everywhere. On a related note - a nice kids helmet is a converted Disney Bank. I'm almost done mine, and will post up pics - cut out the neck, eyes, teeth, put in some foam and green lenses, add some rubbertrim and black paint detailing, and - presto! For $24$ that disney charges, its a cheap and fun project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK7379[501st] Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Looks like a smash-up TMNT helmet?!? If there was such a thing. And surprise.... no bidders LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper18938 Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 I won the Black Helmet - 15+5 shipping = Its actually a pretty cool helmet - tiny compared to a trooper bucket, but still fits comfortable on the head. There's an elastic band going around the inside to keep it in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amptrooper Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) Here is the first Stormtrooper helmet (he should do some research before he sells ) http://www.rebelscum.com/photo.asp?image=/features/stormhelmets/dp_standardstormtrooper.jpg&text=Don%20Post%20Standard%20Stormtrooper%20Helmet Look what I found though! The first C3P0 robot toy!! Should be worth millions since it was before Star Wars! How did they know?! Maybe it is time travel!!! Talk about getting a jump on the market!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/Early-Generation-1950s-Tin-Robot-Japan-Space-Toy-/260772237145?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cb73c8f59 Edited April 24, 2011 by Amptrooper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chunk[501st] Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 I remeber seeing that helmet when i was a kid. It went for under $10 at Kmart. There was also a plastic "laser sword" that came with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
