Question about an Stormtrooper Helmet

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I'm unsure if this is really a good offer or something I should better stay away from.

Can someone of the experts please give me advice here:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/STAR-WARS-STORMTROOPER-STUNT-HELMET-KIT-ABS-COMPLETE-WITH-TRIM-DECALS-/232304945919?fromMakeTrack=true

Every help is appreciated.

 

By the way, I orderd an RS Propmaster Armour.

 

Thank's in advance.

 

Hans-Jürgen

Most of our first reaction is to stay away from ebay at all cost!! It has a two piece cap & back which can be a pain in the rear to line up! 

Go through http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/11538-the-various-types-of-armor-and-where-to-find-them/ and you should be able to find a reputable vetted seller to get what you need!

You have ordered a top of the range armour and you are considering a low end helmet? Get the matching RS ;)

Just what I was thinking. The neck trim looks very thin, too, and the colour match may be off, with the helmet kit being made of 2mm 'glossy' (acrylic capped?) material.

I didn't realize the different size ear parts. My fear was that someone bought the Helmet and made a mistake when he cut off the ABS.

My other Point was the chance to buy a recast. I asked the seller for the source but he didn't answer until now. So I think now it is a recast.

I contacted RS Props also for a Helmet meanwhile Thank's for your comments. :)

hello 

I recently purchased the black series stormtrooper helmet from amazon and I was wondering if it is 501st approved 

i hope to hear from you soon 

The black series helmet is of the Rogue One configuration, they are not approvable as they come and need some work, have a read through this thread for the differences : https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/38598-black-series-stormtrooper-helmet-for-rogue-one/?page=4

You won't be disappointed to go to RS for the helmet.

 

Yes, it's a bit bumpy on the surface but don't be surprised, it retained all the good of the original found helmet.

 

(I own a set of RS made into Sandtrooper)
