MxPxRobbie[TK] Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I'm looking to replace FX helmet with ATA or MTK... I have a large head (7 5/8 hat size) and I'm 6'3". I'm going to be building AM armor. Which of these two buckets is best for me? Thanks folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 They are pretty much the same. More important is assembly. A different assembly can make a helmet both larger and smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonnenschein Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 What Mathias said. I have both and they're almost identical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverBoyd[501st] Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) i am just finishing up my AM build and I own an MTK helmet. It's a great helmet kit Edited June 21, 2012 by silverBoyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt[501st] Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 i like my MTK...my am kit came with an FX...if you have a bigger head just use the FX,,,,it is still 501st approved and rember the only reason people dont like them is it makes us look like we have booble heads ..but if you already have a big head it might fit.......

We're also talking about grandfathering it, which if it passes would not allow new members to wear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MxPxRobbie[TK] Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I got rid of my whole FX kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterFubar[TK] Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I wear a 7 7/8" hat and the ATA I'm building fits fine. I have to "twist" it on but once on there is plenty of room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone not using FX need to do that. Even Luke Skywalker (take a close look at the prison rescue scene). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the FX helment because it doesn't look anything like a stormtrooper helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonnenschein Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I don't like the FX helment because it doesn't look anything like a stormtrooper helmet. Well, actually, it does. It's white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogwai[TK] Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I have a ATA as well and a huge Head! No Problem with it. I Just do the Twist, when I put it on or off. Like said before, once you wear it, you have plenty of room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MxPxRobbie[TK] Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Awesome. Ordered the ATA. Thanks for your help, FISD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
