TKDUEUNO Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 No way. Or it may be, if by "screenused" you mean left dusting on a tv set for several years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeR Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 It is a real promo helmet. I made an offer on an identical one a few years back. Not screen used, and I am not sure how it relates to th eoriginal helmets if at all but it is a promo helmet. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueTrooper[TK] Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Let's look at this logically. The thing that you have to consider about this is, you don't even have to look at the helmet to know that it is not an original screen used helmet. If it was it wouldn't be sold on Ebay at a starting bid of £2,200. It would be sold through a reputable prop/auction company like Christies or the Prop Store of London. It would have a letter of authenticity. That is not to say that Ebay has not had true movie props go up for auction on their site. But, they normally have a letter of authenticity and you have to pre-register to be able to bid on it, so they know that you are legitimate and have the money to back it up. So. my advice to you is "buyer beware". If any one believes that is a real screen used helmet, then send them my way, I 've got some prime water front property on dagobah........(swamp land) Mudhole....slimy.... My home this is......

pandatrooper[TK] Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I say ask him where he bought it from, that would be an interesting story. The helmets they used in the 90s for the Special edition scenes were refurbished ROTJ suits I believe. So it's highly unlikely this is one of those. In terms of promotion, I don't recall seeing LFL promo troopers in 1997 in theatres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirDenzington89 Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I feel like the ears are wrong on that ebay helmet. Also theres something about those teeth that look weird too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Wars Helmets Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 As others have said - nothing to do with the production helmets. This looks like one of the UK promo helmets that IIRC were made in the late 80's early 90's. I seem to recall one going up for auction along with a promo X-Wing (probably the same one you saw Joe) The giveaways are the 3 part structure with shrunken cap, rounded ears and the faceplate angled too far forward. They actually share a lot of similarities with the serrated neck helmets Ainsworth made some time after ANH Cheers Jez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chunk[501st] Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Why do people put such outragious price tags on ebay items? I saw a Kenner Darth Vader case with max capacity of figures for $20,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 I have seen that exact same helmet posted on ebay before even had the name John written inside like on this one in particular. Utter BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengine32 Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Its funny if it was screen used ( has a made up name in it ) you think their would be some kind of padding or a way to keep it on the guys head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
