TKLee Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) Just ordered myself one of these £59 helmets to start my new sandtrooper project.Ok,its not as good as some helmets out there but for £59 it was well worth it The following thread contains some nice pictures,with another helmet as comparison.Comments and opinions on this helmet would be good. ------------ Anyone else planning on getting one?

Darth-Tuapawa[501st] Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I hope your right firebladejedi, $119 for a ready to wear TK helmet sounds good to me!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julianhuey Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hi Everyone, Quick question.. Is this (the MR ANH boxed helmet seen on the MR forum link above) the £59.99 helmet that is on PLAY.COM, as the helmet picture on their website looks like one of those horrid wobbly rubber jobs Cheers, Julian.

Chefhawk[501st] Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) Yes it is. the picture is wrong. I believe the picture is the Scaled mr version. Here is what Amazon People put up for a Pred Spear! ----------- hope this helps Edited February 17, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julianhuey Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Cheers. I could just imaging opening the box or padded envelpoe (!) and pulling out that rubber monster mask ! Nice pic of the blunt "spear" on Amazon. Regards, Julian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trskel[TK] Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 A friend from the UK has received it today from play.com and this is what he got (he is also into Roman re-enactment as you can see ) : ------------ Looks quite nice. Do you know if it is good enough to enter the 501st? My friend is wondering that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTrooper Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I would say that it is more than good enough for the 501st. It is a nice looking helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Wars Helmets Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 I would say that it is more than good enough for the 501st. It is a nice looking helmet. I'd certainly agree with that too - if the FX is considered good enough then this really should be. However I've just learned thatthe ONLY supplier is Play.com - I can only guess that the US retailer in quesiton didnt confirm the order before 31st Dec - the deadline. Now my understanding is that Play ordered thousands of these so potentially it is open to them to sell to a US retailer, however MR cant Cheers Jez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModelTrooper Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 I just herd from the Mr fourms that they will not be available to the US,Is there anyone willing in the UK to help us guys out? I know I'm willing to pay all the fees needed. Pm me please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrroger[TK] Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I'd like some help on this as well! Any fellow FISD troopers or 501st willing to lend a hand? Please PM me. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
