gwood1234[TK] Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) I think this has been discussed a few years ago but it seems this seller has now started producing a plastic version of his helmets which seems to be in answer to previous criticism. Is this still one to avoid and if so what should I be aware of? Thanks!

charlesnarles Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Hero lids come to a point at the back and are generally wider, this looks like a stunt turned hero to me. Can't speak for this one's quality, but there are competitively priced options made by folks here that are very accurate and tried-n-true. I want to say RT-mod but it's definitely one of them on the vetted seller list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark PWF[Staff] Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 While unable to speak on the builder you are asking about at all, I can backup what Scott had to say. For certain, TrooperMaster and RT-Mod (slightly larger than normal) both sell Hero helmets that are simply Hero helmets from the start of the sculpt as opposed to Stunt conversions.

khegs Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 What's better, plastic or fibreglass ? And why ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-1287 Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 What's better, plastic or fibreglass ? And why ? Plastic. Lightweight and more movie accurate. Fiberglassed armor doesn't allow for any flexible movement as the armor is rigid. There's just a laundry list of reasons why you don't want fiberglassed Stormtrooper armor.

I was thinking of buying just a helmet from this guy and it will be a display piece, won't ever be used for trooping. Would you still recommend going for plastic ?
