Star Wars Black Series 332nd Ahoska's Clone Helmet Review

It's new helmet day here at Paul's Collectibles! This time we have the Star Wars Black Series 332nd Ahsoka's Clone Trooper full size helmet prop replica to look at. These guys came from Clone Wars: The Animated Series during season 7 and played a pivotal role during Order 66 and the escape of Darth Maul. This helmet is a repaint of the recent Phase II Clone Trooper helmet we received from Hasbro. Let's take a good look at this newest offering!

Super cool helmet this one! Great looking paint job and that color certainly pops. 👍🏽

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Right, Gary!? I was SO expecting to be disappointed since the painted trooper helmets they have produced to date are all ridiculous looking. This one stunned me and displays beautifully on my "clone helmet wall." Thanks for checking out yet another of my videos, sir. I appreciate it!

[@CollectingStuffNThings]

Hey Paul, thanks for giving us this up close look at at this helmet. I really like this helmet and thinking of buying this one. The weathering looks great and love the paint they did for Ashoka. Look forward to your next video. Keep up the great work.

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Thanks, Ryan! And as you saw, I was very pleasantly surprised with this one. I'm glad it came out as well as it did and I am super pleased with it. I hope they keep pumping out different varieties of clones. I have no space to display them, but I'll buy them anyway. First world problems, am I right?! haha! Thanks for always dropping by and being supportive. I appreciate it!

[@brettonfett]

Awesome Paul, you got this one pretty quick! I just picked up the Scout Trooper today (found one at GameStop) and plan on picking this one up as well at some point.

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Thanks, Brett. Pre-ordering things is so weird. Some times they come in WAY earlier than predicted, and some times I'm watching people find them in the store while I still wait on my order. I got lucky again this time! haha! My Scout Trooper came from BBTS today as well! That review and comparison will publish in the coming days. This one turned out better than I expected and I can recommend grabbing one if you get the chance. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video!

[@SeriouslyStarWars]

I really need to start collecting these black series helmets! The 332 Clone Helmet is such an iconic look! Great review Paul!

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Thank you for the kind words, Christopher. And I'd be careful with that if I were you! haha! These helmets are like Lay's potato chips, you can't get just one. They're addictive! haha! And I have seen your collection room. You're packed! You'd have to get an entire separate room for the all helmets you'd get when you fell down that rabbit hole. That being said, I wholeheartedly endorse this behavior and encourage you to get all the helmets you can! haha! Thanks for checking out another of my videos, sir!

[@MattsCollection]

Great review Paul! I like the look of this helmet! Expect to see a bunch more repaints...and I'm ok with that!

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Thank you for the kind words, Matt! And yeah, I was actually pleasantly surprised with this one. I expected it to be silly looking, like so many of the other Stormtrooper helmets we got, but this one blew me away. It actually went right up for display and I pulled down the regular plain clone helmet from Black Series I had up. And I can't wait to see what they do next. I'd love a purple-accented Mace Windu clone, a Shock Trooper clone or even a 212th Battalion clone helmet! Thanks for checking this video out as well, sir!

[@greenguardian7427]

HOW IN THE HECK DID YOU GET ONE SO SOON?!!! Dude your so lucky, I’m glad your the first person I’ve seen reviewing this awesome helmet, can’t wait to get mine keep up the good work as always 👍

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Thanks for the kind words, Guardian. And frankly, I have no idea why mine from BBTS came so soon. I'm just some schmo out here like everyone else, and I ordered it when they went live a few months back. Some times they get here super fast and I have no idea why! haha! Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video. I appreciate it!

[@artdhenderson]

Oooo looks great. Skipped on the other clone helmets but might have to pick this one up. 👍🏻

[@PaulsCollectibles]

I was pleasantly surprised with the paint apps on this one for sure, Art. Especially after the debacle that was the Artillery Trooper and the Incinerator Trooper. I don't think you'll be disappointed if you grab one of these. It's really good!

[@respectanimals]

Thank you so much for posting this! I had already pre-ordered it, but was able to cancel my pre-order and purchase it now. It ended up costing me a little bit more, but it was well worth it to not have to wait another 2 months (or longer) to get my pre-ordered one. It arrived this morning already, so kudos to BBTS. I had never ordered anything from them previously, but I certainly will in the future as everything went very well. It's a fantastic helmet and will make a very nice addition to my collection.

[@PaulsCollectibles]

You're very welcome, Respect! I'm glad this worked out for you. Some times BBTS comes through before anyone else, usually helmets, and some times it's Entertainment Earth that gets things to me the quickest, usually action figures. I'm thrilled to hear that this video was helpful. I produce these as a hobby, and to teach myself filming and editing. The added bonus is when someone tells me they were entertained and/or helped by what they saw. Enjoy the great helmet! Thank you also for stopping by and checking out the video!

[@troy242]

JUST got mine from EE. I love it. It might be my new favorite. Nice review.

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Thanks, Paco (Troy.) I'm glad to hear you were able to snag one of these. It's one of the better trooper helmets they have done in a while and the paint deco turned out nicely on this one. And thank you for the kind words about the video as well. I appreciate it!

[@Gforceracing20]

Another fun bucket, Paul!

[@PaulsCollectibles]

You said it, Gforce! Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video!

[@paulsstuff1969]

Great review, love it. This just released in the UK today (3rd August) and Ive ordered one straight away based a lot on your review. This looks so cool.

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Thank you so much for the kind words, Paul! Nice to meet another Star Wars collector, especially one with such an esteemed name! haha! I really think you're gonna like this helmet when it comes in. I'm flattered and glad to hear my review helped in some fashion. Thank you for stopping by and checking out the video as well!

[@paulsstuff1969]

@@PaulsCollectibles I just got notification it shipped. So now the wait for delivery. Actually I am costuming at a comic con this weekend so it won’t seem so long lol. Totally agree on the name by the way, all the best collectors have it🤣🤣🙁

[@ransolmcasterfo8864]

Thanks for sharing! I had an order direct from Hasbro but cancelled and placed an order through BBTS, which showed as in stock. Wasn’t expecting to get this until October so this is great. Looks awesome!!!

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Thank you for checking this one out, Ransolm! And I'm glad I was able to help by pointing out that they are in stock at BBTS for you. Waiting on these collectibles is maddening some times! haha!

[@mister_b_customs]

Great looking helmet! The 332nd is my favorite design! I'm having a friend of mine print me a visor and the extras to convert it to Capt Vaughn

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Oh! That's going to be VERY cool looking, Mister B! What a great idea. And yeah, this one caught me off guard and was much better than I thought it was going to be! Thanks for stopping by and checking out yet another of my videos, sir. I appreciate it!

[@edmontonstormtrooper2493]

This is the paint scheme I've been wanting.

[@PaulsCollectibles]

It's surprisingly good, Edmo! If you get the chance to get one of these, I don't think you're going to be disappointed. I ended up putting it on display, when I had initially predicted there was a good chance it was going back in the box and into storage after opening it. And as always, thank you for stopping by and checking out my videos!

[@kangarhew1954]

This will be my first full size helmet. I can't freaking wait to get it!

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Nice, Kanga! Congratulations! This is a great one to start with. They did a really good job with the paint apps on this helmet. I think you're gonna like it for sure! Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video!

[@markrussell3414]

Excellent helmet from star wars nice collection of your helmet paul collectables 🪖🪖🪖

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Thanks as always, Mark! I appreciate you and the constant kind words!

[@CaseyPriceForsakenhero]

Dude I know we discussed it before. I was so happy to get this helmet. Ahsoka and the new scout trooper got here on the same day!!

[@PaulsCollectibles]

No problem at all, Casey! It was such a rare occurrence to get two helmets on the same day, we just have to gush about it! It was like Christmas Day for a helmet collector for sure!

[@CaseyPriceForsakenhero]

@@PaulsCollectibles yes exactly!

[@hulkbuster6669]

I have the scout trooper helmet, and I love it. But for clone helmets I go to cybercraft. And for the og helmets I buy them by rs propmasters. But keep up the good work my friend!!!

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Right, Hulkbuster?! Isn't it awesome that we have all these great options for where to buy so many different types of helmets now? I remember the "bad old days" when you practically had to "know a guy" to get your hands on a quality helmet! haha! Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video!

[@somewhereelse000]

Both are available in Australia through Zing/EB Games. I love the Scout Trooper and thanks again for another great review!

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Oh, thanks for the info on where to get them Down Under, TIE! That will definitely help out a lot of people. Thank you for the kind words as well, and my review/comparison of the Black Series Scout will be published in the next few days. I appreciate you stopping by to check this one out!

[@Fredhalldirectedition]

Cool cool helmet

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Thanks, Fred! I was pleasantly surprised by this one, I have to admit. I have pretty low expectations for the painted trooper helmets Black Series produces, but this one is pretty good. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video!

[@colettemma]

I instantly regret watching this. 🙈🤣 I cancelled my preorder for the Ahsoka helmet because there is so much new stuff coming out that something has to be cut, and this was one I thought I could do without cause I've no attachment to the animated shows. But it looks so much better in your video than it did in the hasbro reveal vid. I want it now. Damn you Paul, damn you. 😔😅

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Haha! You crack me up, Colette! And yeah, they don't call me the "helmet pusher" for nothing. haha! And truth be told, I have a sickness. I was only going to buy one Stormtrooper helmet a few years back to display in a case, and now I have lost all self-control and am vacuuming these up as fast as they can release them. Ugh! And, I'm running out of room to display them. At any rate, I'm happy to introduce a little strife into your life! haha! Thanks for stopping by and checking out another video!

[@colettemma]

@PaulsCollectibles I feel you. I thought my inner child would be satisfied when I finally scratched that itch and bought her that First Order helmet, which was on Sale. But turns out she's a greedy little thing. 🤣

[@paulquinn4704]

I got this a couple of months ago, your right about how nicely its done, they did an amazing job on them, i was originally going for the plane white clone, but kept going back to this. They should do away with the daft voice changer, its garbage, bu5 interestingly the pilot helmets play xwing, blaster eounds, RT bleeps & some original move dialogue ( sounds great when its on your head ) as well as some flashing lights. Its actually worth installing the battery just to hear it & then take them back out

[@PaulsCollectibles]

You and I agree on this one for sure, Paul. They're previous paint job on trooper helmets were silly looking at best, but they really took it to a great level here. And you're so right. I'd take a price drop and no voice changer on these trooper helmets for sure. They don't work AT ALL! I'm excited to see what they do with the Carson Teva helmet in this area, though!

[@ericksanchez2496]

Scout trooper helmet up for pre-order at Hasbro. Found mine at Gamestop two days ago. Go nab one!

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Hilariously, Eric, I ordered one from BBTS right as they came out a week or so ago. It came today as well! Today was a "two-helmet day" here at Paul's Collectibles! haha!

[@ericksanchez2496]

@@PaulsCollectibles Niiiice!!

[@klipsfilmsmelbourne]

Is there a rule clone and stormtrooper were not allow to paint over the black brow trim above the bisorn

[@PaulsCollectibles]

That's a good question, Klips. I don't know that I have ever seen any specific rules as to how the troopers were to paint their helmets. But you are correct. Other than on this helmet, they always skipped over the black brow when painting their helmets. I suspect it is different here to indicate the rush, field expedient paint job these troopers did to honor Ahsoka. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video!

[@aarynsmith3371]

Captain rex helmet is coming this year

[@PaulsCollectibles]

As a matter of fact, soon, US Agent. Very soon!

[@ac4054]

What helmet stand are you using?

[@PaulsCollectibles]

A C, I am using 12" tall, brushed metal, kitchen paper towel holders. They can be found at any housewares shop like Bed, Bath and Beyond, Costco, Amazon and the like.

[@baileytaylor8195]

I am honestly surprised how well they did the paint job! You got an extra? 😜

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Right, Bailey?! I was girded for disappointment on this one, and was pleasantly surprised. It actually ended up going for display. And, to my credit, I actually remembered to cancel it at all the other places I had it pre-ordered, so this time, unlike the Bo Katan helmet, I didn't end up with three. Only one. haha!

[@penelop96]

Not a fan of the Black Series clone trooper helmet in the first place. I find it looks a bit off; it’s also oversized compared to other makes. Also, the color is way too white. I got mine from Cyber Craft; it was kind of expensive but worth it. I also got a 332nd Ahsoka helmet from Galaxytoys that I’m extremely happy with. (custom job with the same paint scheme as the one Cyber Craft makes)

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Those are all valid points, Penelope, and I can't disagree with you. This one is very different from what we saw in Revenge of the Sith and in the Clone Wars Animated Series for sure. It's definitely more like the live action clones we saw in Andor and Kenobi. And I've studied Cyber Craft helmets for quite some time, but never pulled the trigger. They are really nice, but they look just a bit "off" to me. I can't quite put my finger on what it is. I'm glad to hear your 332nd from them was spot on. And both helmets I got from Galaxy Toys, although well-made, were a disappointment when it comes to screen accuracy and proper proportioning. Although, I hear he has stepped up his game recently and is producing better helmets. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video!

[@michaelhendrickson1893]

Nice helmet. Makes a great display piece. Well with disney losing money at the parks and at the theaters. And now a strike going on. Wont be seeing anymore starwars or marvel universe anytime soon. Ahsoka should be safe since 1st season done. Andor, bad batch. Mandolorian, book of bobba fett, abd others will be delay for along time

[@PaulsCollectibles]

Thanks, Michael. It replaced the plain clone helmet on my "clone wall" since I already had a different version of the plain clone helmet in my display case. And you hit the nail on the head there, buddy. I really think we are going to see a pretty seismic shift in Hollywood after this strike. in the meantime, as you mentioned, things are going to run dry for a while. Thanks as always for the continued support!
