Altmann's Biker/Scout Trooper Helmet
|
|
|
| Though Altmann's range of helmets was on the
whole, rather disappointing to accuracy-hungry fans - their Biker
helmet is recognised as a huge success. Whereas their less-accurate helmets
like the Stormtrooper, Vader and TIE have numerous clear inaccuracies,
the Biker Scout appears to have derived from an original screen-used source. |
|
|
Like the originals its made of lightweight ABS
and (until the launch of EFX's Scout trooper helmet in 2014/15
2018/19) was THE most
accurate Licensed Scout Trooper helmet produced. Below a shot with its
faceplate up - pretty impressive! |
|
|
| Below some shots we took a few years ago, still
a very fine looking helmet. |
|
|
| Not only is it the most accurate Licensed
Helmet - it also puts many fan-made Biker Scout Helmets to shame - and
that's no mean feat. However with the new EFX Scout Trooper on the
horizon (late 2014/early 2015) thats probably going to change. |
|
|
| There are some differences in the finishing,
perhaps some over zealous painting of some of the detailing, but the overall
physical dimensions appear to be very, very good. |
|
|
| Below a side by side comparison with the
original screen-used helmet on the left and the Altmann's on the right. |
|
 |
| The original has the black "ear" section cut
out (with dark material placed behind it), the visor bolt's slightly
different and a little too much black on the nose section - but these are
things that can be easily changed if necessary. However overall as you can
see its very close. Below more shots of the Altmann's |
|
|
| It's Altmann's best product and a really nice
collectors piece and worthy of a few more glamour shots. |
|
|
| Below, Andrea's great comparison
shot of the ultra-rare fiberglass Don Post Deluxe Helmet on the left
with the Altmann's on the right. |

| ...and finally Altmann's promo photograph, and
the in-store Chest, Back and Shoulder bust display iece used in Australian
stores to market the product. |
