Nate Jangotat Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 So I have been looking through references on both these helmets and really this is just to ask opinions. I will be going ANH with my stormie armour but should I get a stunt helmet or a Hero helmet. I can't decide!? opinions / pros cons of either helmet for trooping!? A little help for the noob please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigironvault Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I imagine the stunt is a little easier for trooping due to the flat lenses vs. bubble lenses of the hero. But I will let the veterans here comment on that (my opinion is pure theory). Other than that from my research, I find it is mostly personal choice. I went with stunt myself because it seemed like a good place to start. Hero kits are available to mod a stunt after the fact so I don't think you're stuck with one or the other anyways.

TK5492[TK] Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Our opinions are good but in the end it is all up to you. You have to go with what appeals most to YOU. Look at the pictures side by side of the two helmets and go with the one that you look at and pops most for you. I personally like the Stunt because I like that they are the original. Those guys that blast through the door in the first scene of ANH... That's what I wanted to be. The Hero helmets imply that there is a Rebel underneath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazmosis[501st] Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Like it has been said before, it is a matter of opinion what you want your armor to become. The ultimate side by side is the troopers leading Leia to Vader in ANH. Just make sure you are doing the research to note ALL the subtle differences between the two (armor wise and not just helmet)! Post pics and have fun!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueTrooper[TK] Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 It like Burger Kings motto (have your way) which appeals to you the most.. As for the "Hero" and "Stunt" titles, the nicknames came from the better details on one type of helmet for closeups. The same is for the X-wing/Ywing helmets.There were two different types made of them as well, and they got coin the nicknames Hero and Stunt too. They could have easily nicknamed all these helmets "closeup" and "background" not because that Han and Luke had them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xaoslord Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 The only reason I went with stunt instead of hero is the flat lenses. Some of the bubble lenses being made now, have some great reviews though. Go with what you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X[TK] Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I wanted to look like the Stormtroopers in ANH rather than Luke/Han acting like one. So, I'm a Stunt trooper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigironvault Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Yeah I deep down I want to be the "bad guys" and the TK's bursting through in the first Act of ANH was just etched into my memory as a kid so to me they are all kinds of cool.

crafty Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Dude don't listen to them guys (bunch of stunts) ........... Hero all the way....you know they look better meaner and harder, and for your info the Hero helmet pop up all throughout ANH not just the good guys. Plus there isn't many of us guys around!! Do it, you know you want to!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Jangotat Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Oh man, I am still confused. I think the opening scene from ANH is quite a pull though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobojuice Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I'd go for a Stunt myself because I like the look better. Also, chances are you'd be using a Stunt version bucket anyway. Not sure who sells Hero buckets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueTrooper[TK] Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Not sure who sells Hero buckets. TM and Gino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2155TK[TK] Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Stunt for TROOPIN Hero for DISPLAYIN I love both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 You can Hero-ize TE derived helmets too. Personally I dig the Hero look, but has been said many times over it's your lid so do what appeals to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar McNeer Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 RT-Mod offers the Hero bucket as well. Mine is currently in process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2155TK[TK] Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 The stunt trooper was the happy trooper coz of the raised brow! Hero buckets have the low brow imma shoot you rebels mentality ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
