Only on display with a glass detolf shelf. If you know who RS Propmasters are, then you know the validity of this replica and company. This is not a typical cookie cutter helmet replica, but a TRUE cast from one of the ORIGINAL helmets from A New Hope. It is in new condition and I still have the original box and packaging that it came from Europe in. This company builds these to match the actual build in plastic material, helmet thickness, screws, bumps, lumps, imperfections, wonkiness, etc etc. These are true to the original movie used helmets, to a T. The real thing, not an falsely perfected version. This has not been worn, it was strictly for display as it is an authentic collectible and not a toy. Here is their description pertaining to this helmet. Our stunt helmet is created from mouldings taken directly from our original helmet. The original helmet is owned by RS Prop Masters and is retained in our secure archive. This is important as it allowed us to take the time required to create the moulds of the helmet, and armour over a period of time without and need to rush or make do. Every detail was captured and retained, nothing was added and more importantly nothing was removed, to create as near perfect replica as possible. This was the intention of RS from day one, we wanted to bring a full screen accurate stunt helmet to the prop community, we had the opportunity to be the only lineage A New Hope & Empire suit available, and we still are. This desire for a purist helmet means it includes surface texturing to the front of the back and cap and various small details around the face plate, including the oval trap detailing. The bucks used to create this replica helmet and first generation and as such suffer from no shrinkage, meaning the replicas are the correct movie size. The helmets are made from the same gauge of plastic, to ensure the details are reproduced correctly, the thickness of the plastic used does not alter the detailing. This was the most important issue after retaining the details from the originals during the mould making process. The stunt helmet plastic components comprises of a faceplate, back and cap and two separate ears. The helmet is then assembled by hand, firstly trimmed to size, then riveted together and the ear caps secured with screws. The internal components are then added, yellow foam star, green lighting film for the eye lens and an elastic chin strap, with replica vintage S spring snaps. The helmet is completed with accurate rubber trims and castings of our original Hovi-mix Mic Tip greeblies, before being finished into the desired movie style, A New Hope or The Empire Strikes Back. Each helmet is hand painted, all details for the ANH, trap detailing, tube stripes, frown and vicoder, whilst the ESB movie helmets were finished with decals for the traps and tube stripes with painted frown and vicoder. We replicate these finishes as required. The finished helmets are full prop replicas, with the hand painted detailing and textured surface adding to the complete look overall look of the helmets, but may not be the finish expected, please note, these are not mass produced collectables, they are hand made props, in the exact same style and spirit of the helmets used on set. This, we believe is one of the features of our helmet, but we can offer a smooth back and cap if required (not recommended).
