Hey man, this is gonna be a long comment and I don’t even know if you will ever see this, but I really really love the stormtrooper helmet that you reviewed, but why are they sold out on Amazon all the time, My birthday was weeks ago. :( Do you maybe know where I can get one that doesn’t like arrive in April of 2024? All the other videos on this helmet just had a link to the one that isn’t in stock anymore. And I also have a question: Is there any way to darken the lenses? I have seen some different reviews on this helmet and you could see the eyes and head of the wearer and that kinda annoys me. But anyway, very nice review and much love from Germany Ps: sorry for my bad English 😂
@PaulsCollectibles Жыл бұрын
Hey, Quietkid! Thanks for asking and I try to reply to ALL my comments. This is a great helmet for the price, and I appreciate the kind words about the review video. Unfortunately, this helmet was initially release close to seven or eight years ago now, and when you run across stock somewhere on Amazon, it's because of a newly-found back catalog, or a limited re-issue. The rest you find are people who picked them up new, saved them, and are now re-selling them, usually at a steep profit. That's a long way to go to tell you that the only place you might find one of these ready to ship right now is somewhere like eBay or other local vintage/small toy shops that have snagged one from somewhere and are now selling it. That's why it's so magnificent that Hasbro is doing this re-release, because otherwise these are super-hard to find at a decent price. As for the lenses, I know of no reliable way to darken the plastic in them. However, you can buy darker plastic from various sources, like welding supply stores, cut a new, darker lens, take the helmet apart, and install a darker lens. This is obviously a fairly involved process, but if you watch a couple videos of other customizing these, take your time, and are patient, you can install a different lens. I hope this helped, and I'm sorry I don't have better news for you. And, your English is excellent! Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video!

Hopefully they'll revisit this stormtrooper helmet and make the necessary improvements to interior finish and move the voice speaker grill to front, lots of places they can conceal it here without ruining the visual appeal of the design

It was hilarious when it was delivered because it came in a literal PALLET of boxes they had to forklift into my garage. One of my oldest videos is the unboxing and building of the thing. I think the $8000 was tied up in all the cardboard they sent me! haha!! And I've never even put batteries in any of my Black Series helmets, so I have no first-hand knowledge of the voice changer. I've seen videos of it though, and the thing sounds laughable! Luckily I, like you, only display the thing and don't try to "troop" around in it!

Hey, DonutLover! An excellent question. I too have a gargantua-melon (Size 8) and find many of these Hasbro helmets do fit me. Specifically, this Hasbro Stormtrooper helmet does fit me, just barely, if I remember correctly. The good news is that if it is a little too small, you're still good to go. You can just pop out the head rigging inside and install bicycle helmet padding to your taste inside or Airsoft helmet padding in the same fashion. Truth be told, taking out that uncomfortable head rig inside there and adding your own padding is a much better option, regardless of whether the helmet fits as-is or not. Happy helmet'ing!
