Pandatrooper Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Have you guys seen this helmet? Awesome pics! http://propstore.auctionserver.net/view-auctions/catalog/id/10/lot/1582/?url=%2Fview-auctions%2Findividual-lots%2F%3Fkey%3Dbiker%2Bscout
spookymufu Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 something looks off with this helmet It says it was made during the filming of ROTJ but it looks different from the screen used props EDIT: never mind, I just watched the video and it looks really good.......
EnigmaEngine Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 It's clean, that's why it looks weird.
Griffin-X Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Very interesting and thanks for posting Terry. The greeblie is horrible, although the disclaimer claims: The nose greeblie on the helmet is a replica created later to complete the look, and does not match those seen in the film. Makes me really wonder if it's a "real" helmet or something else...
troopermaster Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 I fancy going down to see this helmet when it gets exhibited. Might even have a bid on it!
Dart Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Very interesting and thanks for posting Terry. The greeblie is horrible, ... Makes me really wonder if it's a "real" helmet or something else... I think it's a real helmet. However, I think maybe it wasn't finished when it was originally sold and whoever bought it added the snout piece. I wish I had the cash. This is only the 2nd helmet, that we know of, that has made it out of the archives. 1
Oberkisstillalive Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 you can tell by the shape and form that this one is an original. In the video the narrator says that it was never used and was nearly completed. I can only hope and pray that it falls into the hands of a propmaker :DDDDDD
spike Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 check out the inner :plastic pressings. looks real in all the right places....nice piece
Chunk Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 I think it's a lil too much for a prop that was never in the movie. Starting bid is over $6500. One that was actually in the movie would definatley be worth that & more.
ukscout Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 will be visiting the prop on display after LFCC and will be taking loads of pics 1
TB-7076 Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 How about a combined effort with Marcel collecting the money and then pass it on to RS with options to get one? 1
Oberkisstillalive Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 How about a combined effort with Marcel collecting the money and then pass it on to RS with options to get one? I was about to say that myself!
Dart Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 I would chip in what I could. We'd need to be sure we had enough to handle the other bids. I'm sure it'll sell for more than it's posted.
TB-7076 Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Not much time left. There is a page where you can collect for a project and people send in their money. There is a time limit when the critical mass must be reached. If not the contributors get their momey back. I know it works as one garrison mate tried to realize usb sticks in the shape of code cylinders which infortunately failed three times. They needed to reach certain sums/numbers to get in production. They mamaged to collect up to 6.500 $ which was 65% of the needed funds. Let's say everyone contributed about 100 £. We would need at least 1.000 people to contribute to reach a sum worth bidding for some time. Doable but quite a short time to arrange this in the two weeks remaining.
Dart Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Just an FYI, the auction's live right now. If anyone won the lottery, you've got maybe 30 minutes before the helmet comes up.
Joe Versku Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Went to the Vue and saw the helmet. The glass it was behind had so much glare it was difficult to take pix of but I guess Propstore ones are quite detailed. I wonder who got it in the end. Here's what I managed to photo with my terribly inadequate phone 3
Dart Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 This might be a good time for an enterprising individual to snag the pics still on the auction website and post them in the gallery... jus' sayin'...
TB-7076 Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 Backed them up already. I guess everyone did . There is an automation already saving any and everything that could be usefull no matter how many pics I already got. I even save pictures and urls of fan armour...even poor armor and parts, possible substitutes etc. If not I probably wouldn't be as vocal about the costume as I am . It's important to know every facett and any bit regarding the costume and its replicas to advise people what to chose and eventually devlop your own rig to the best possible - in case that is one's preference and dedication. I guess the new owner is disclosed right? 1
jkno Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 We shopuld get in contact with the buyer and ask him to let us mold the helmet 2
TB-7076 Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 I guess like most wouldn't dare to touch their efx which cost 700$, this guy wouldn't let anyone close to this bucket worth 17.000 £. But I'm still curious what kind of people collect these and spend such cash.
Oberkisstillalive Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 I guess like most wouldn't dare to touch their efx which cost 700$ I am sure someone will. Not me thoughUnless someone is willing to replace it with another...
