F1guy Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hey guys, I've seen some pics of this helmet, and it bugs me, but I want more info on it. It looks too square, ugly. I stole and cropped the picture to focus on this helmet specifically. What's the story of this one?

gazmosis[501st] Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Which helmet? If you're asking about the one on the right, it's an outdated FX helmet. Not even worth wondering about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F1guy Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 It was the one on the right. Any more pics? It looks horrible, but what about it makes it so bad specifically? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikedwelle94[TK] Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Just look how far off it is from the respectable-looking helmet on the right. I don't think words can be applied here very well, at least not by me. The whole shape is just.... not right. Oversized, too. I'd be surprised if the legion still lets people join with these.

CRISTONAMO Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) The FX Helmet is basically the grandfather helmet of the 501st legion. In the 90s and pretty much the whole decade of 2000 it was what 90% of what the legion wore. Its ugly, inaccurate look made everyone cringe and realize there is way more better helmets out there. The legion I hope no longer accepts these, we are very close to ridding them out completely! It's bad because its a poorly made fansculpt and the legion was cursed with ugly TKs. No real specifics of why as its just all wrong in every way. Edited August 18, 2014 by CRISTONAMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F1guy Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Oh wow. That helmet is nasty. I've seen some guys trooping it before on twitter. It's ugly as hell. Was it before better was made? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it before better was made? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk No, but those that did make better were charging much more than what is common today. So very few could justify spending it. Availability was also an issue. Good stuff was harder to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
