E-FX Collectibles Idealised
Stormtrooper Helmet
Note: Concept only -
never manufactured
|
|
 |
| Yup, you read it right. These pics taken by Becky 2008's Comic Con show off E-FX's surprise new Stormtrooper Helmet. Following
on from their "normal" (read wonderfully asymmetrical) ANH trooper, they've
decided to release an Idealised version - kind of like "what
we were supposed to see in Star Wars - rather than what we
actually saw". |
|
|
| Front-on you can see that the symmetrical nature of the
helmet has given it quite an unusual look - but maybe that's just because
we're used to the uneven/asymmetrical/wonky appearance the helmets really
had. The sculpt is the same one used by Master Replica for its Fiberglass
Shadow Trooper and EFX budget "Collectors Edition" Stormtrooper
helmets. |

|
| Above E-FX's forthcoming "Ziggy Stardust and the
Spiders from Mars Limited Edition Stormtrooper Helmet",
due for release 5th Quarter 2010. Oh wait, we may have made that up.
Again thanks to Becky for the Photo's |

| March 2011 Update - Above and below - three more photos of
the prototype of the Idealised Stormtrooper Helmet from E-FX taken in 2010.
Thanks to Rebelscum.com for their use here. |

| Like any helmet from E-FX we think this would have sold
fairly well, however it was never actually produced (although the moulds
were used for the cheaper (plastic) EFX collectors helmets (Stormtrooper,
Sandtrooper and Black Hole) |
|
|
| Still a nice looking helmet though. It does look slightly
unusual to our eyes but then that's because we've grown use to the slanted,
asymmetrical "wonky" look of the screen-used helmets - whereas as you can
see from this photos this is almost completely symmetrical - much like the
cheaper ABS Stormtrooper helmets E-FX has produced over the years. |
