Great review, helmet looks good. Paul have you ever purchased from cyber craft?
@PaulsCollectibles6 секунд бұрын
Thanks, Chris. And no, I have never purchased a helmet from Cybercraft. When they first started out years ago, they only did wave sales. And thier helmets all looked a little "off" to me. However, for the first time in a while, I just perused their newest website and it looks like the company has blown up. If the helmets they are selling actually look like what they have in the pictures, they might be pretty good. In the KZbin reviews I have seen, people seem to like them as well, so there is that. I don't have any firsthand experience with them, though.

Do you think Empire Essentials or Hasbro has better quality helmets? I’m trying to decide which Armorer helmet I should get, and there’s a 100 dollar difference
@PaulsCollectibles3 күн бұрын
It is difficult to compare the two, Toxic, because they are both doing excellent work for what they are, but are completely different products. EE are producing artisan helmets from resin cast molds or 3D printing, and Hasbro is mass producing plastic helmets. They are radically different. I suggest studying the release images from Hasbro very closely. Then compare them to the images EE have up on their website. Then you have to decide what you plan to do with the helmet, which look you prefer, and how much you want to spend. Also, I have the Hasbro version on pre-order and plan to produce a review video for the helmet when it arrives if you'd like to wait to see that. I hope this helped...

You can see out of it to get around, but it does restrict your field of vision. To see things below you and to the sides requires that you exaggerate your head movements. And it does have a rudimentary head rig inside that can be adjusted for head size. It is also removable if you want to install custom padding inside as well.

Thanks, Damiano. And comparing the color of this one to the other Black Series Stormtrooper helmets, I would say this is one of the better ones. The white is shiny, just like the original Stormtrooper helmet which is a good thing. Some times they use a flat, muted white which isn't as nice to look at. The red is deep and has tight lines. They didn't try to weather it, so it doesn't look silly like the Artillery Trooper helmet or the Incinerator Trooper helmet. Overall, this is one of the better trooper helmets from Black Series for sure.

You'd have to check with your local garrison to be 100% sure, Pyro, especially since I'm not a member of the 501st myself. I do have a few friends who are members who I film from time to time, though. Consequently, I'm confident in opining that the Hasbro series of helmets will not be approvable for the 501st without heavy modification. Due to a number of design and construction anomalies, they simply aren't up to the standards of that costuming group. Hope that helps.
