I have had a pretty similar experience with the Boba Fett helmet (ESB). Got the first one when it came out. The weathering looks a bit goofy, exactly like silver marker. Was not too happy and tried to improve it. Did not look great. Now this same helmet got a new batch or something, and I snatched it up again. What a surprise! The weathering looks really good for what it is. I decided to customize my first Boba to match one of Mandalorian kits. And I agree, their Captain Rex helmet is superb, really enjoy this one.

Hey, Sandra! Thanks for stopping by, And yeah, I agree with you, I was able to pick up the Black Series Boba Fett helmet a couple years ago when the re-released it and was a bit let down by the weathering on that one as well. It seemed more like an urban camouflage pattern then real weathering for sure. If you go back in my video catalog, you can see the video I published regarding that helmet as well. And the Captain Rex helmet is by far their best example of weathering for sure. I appreciate you checking out the video!

I recently got the Shadow Trooper and it was packed the same way; I was also expecting it to be in three parts. When it was first released it was an Amazon exclusive that didn't get overseas AFAIK so I was happy to get it at a reasonable price directly from Hasbro Pulse. While I do think the recessed lines look better, unfortunately that means they can't just reuse the front piece for a Tie Fighter pilot as those don't have the lines. I'm not confident Hasbro will ever do that helmet, as it would be massive -though it could be broken down in even more parts. It is however a key helmet missing from the original trilogy, and one they could even modify to be a AT-AT driver easily.
@PaulsCollectibles4 күн бұрын
I agree with everything you said here, Jose-Ramon. I especially think that we are never going to get some of the classic helmets from Hasbro because it feels like they are beholden to Lucasfilm to support the new content. That's why we're seeing only mildly popular characters like The Stranger and The Armorer get helmets, but we still don't have the ones you mentioned. Hopefully, they'll prove me wring some day. We shall see.

Helmet looks fantastic! And I feel as if Disney is the more true to scale version. I loved the phase 2 helmets by Hasbro but they are a bit bigger than the other helmets they produced. Regarding what you said about Disney giving us more phase 2 helmets: I agree, I have a feeling that their exclusivity contract with hasbro is winding down. Hence why we see more things such has these helmets and things such as the c3po head. This was apparent to me when I noticed the black series lightsabers/helmets really slowed down in production. I feel as if they don’t make even 1/3rd of what they used to
@PaulsCollectibles7 күн бұрын
Yeah, I think you may be on to something there, Flodux. I would have expected Hasbro to have pumped out a few more Phase II variants by now since they already have the mold. I wonder if the have a non-compete clause in place with Disney so they don't end up producing the same helmets. In any fashion, we, who love the Phase II helmets, win with two producers out there going at it! Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video as well. I appreciate it!
