Im not sure why you're so hard on this helmet. Its not anyworse then the Boba Fett or X-wing mold. The X-wing has seams in a couple of places, with one in the front, and I've heard people complain about the separate piece button ruining the solid look of that box/square. The battery cover isnt really that bad either. The original helmets use decal stickers which stand out as a decal sticker with the white not matching and you can see the edge of the sticker like we can with the battery cover. There is no alternative option for a scout trooper that looks this good while maintaining the price. The proportions and detail is there. And the helmet can be modified by filling in the seams and then repainted.
@StarWarsCollected2 ай бұрын
Thanks for your comment! My criticism is that the electronic features are not worth compromising the sculpt over. Or if they insist on keeping them, they should hide the battery panel on the inside like they have on other helmets. Just seems frustratingly unnecessary to take what is otherwise a solid piece and put a giant panel on it when it could have been hidden or omitted.

@@StarWarsCollected and I kind of addressed the battery cover issue in my comment
@StarWarsCollected2 ай бұрын
@@jeremydrew1227 I think Black Series helmets are always aiming for a more idealized version of the designs, or are often based off more current ideas, like the TKs being closer to the Rogue One helmets with he actual vents rather than the stickers. It would seem that referencing the scout troopers from Mandalorian, where they don't have a sticker issue, would be more in line with that. Not to mention any other replica be it from Hot Toys, EFX, or even a Hasbro figure doesn't put unnecessary panels on the back. I think Hasbro likes to position these as role-play items, but I think 90% of the time they are going to be display pieces, so it would seem to me the priority should be presenting the most aesthetically pleasing version of the item, and making any electronic features a secondary concern, not to compromise the appearance.
@jeremydrew12272 ай бұрын
@@StarWarsCollected I don't think you get what I'm saying. The battery panel mimics the look of a sticker and the obvious edges you see with the sticker. The sticker looks obviously placed on and so does the battery panel. That's my take anyway. You seem to be set on the battery panel placed there as being an awful decision anyway.

@@jeremydrew1227 I hear you brother, I just don't agree that the decal edge was significant enough to be translated into a helmet like this. Every other manufacturer I see, Sideshow, Hot Toys, EFX, RS Prop Masters and Hasbro themselves, do not translate that decal edge into their finished products. The panel should have been hidden inside, like nearly every other helmet they've designed.
