E-FX Collectibles
X-Wing Pilot Helmets
Luke Skywalker
ANH Helmet
|
|
 |
| Released last year the two Luke Skywalker
X-Wing helmets from eFX were awesome looking collectibles. Both cast from a
digitally scanned mould taken from an original screen-used helmet from the
LFL archives, they are extremely
accurate looking helmets and by far the most accurate licensed X-Wing
helmets ever produced. |
|
|
| As with a number of projects from eFX, Luke's
X-Wing helmet was available in two flavours - either the Death Star Trench
version seen in A New Hope - or else the Empire Strikes Back Hoth
Snowspeeder version (see lower down the page) |
|
|
| ....and as these great photos taken by Richie
on the Rebelscum forums show, it looks fantastic. Its not part of eFX's
"Legend" line since they have consciously made the helmets from Fiberglass -
as opposed to the original's ABS plastic construction, nevertheless it's
still a really incredible helmet. |
|
|
| Its nie to see all the correct detailing,
including the ear cups, mic and chin strap - all matched against the
on-screen original. In addition the pain work is fantastic and features a
lightly-weathered finish. |

E-FX Collectibles Limited Edition
Luke Skywalker ESB X-Wing Pilot Helmet |
|
As these great shots from our Rebelscum (and our thanks to
them) show - the eFX Empire Strikes Back Luke Skywalker X-Wing helmet is an
equally fantastic looking collectible |
|
|
| Again the core helmet is just the same as the
ANH - the difference is "just" the weathering - which as you can see was a
lot more heavy on the 2nd movie. |
|
|
| I know the heavier weathering may put off some
people but don't let it - the helmet perfectly reflects the look of it in
the movie. In fact they chose Steve the Swede to do the master paintings for
both the ANH and ESB helmets for eFX - and as regular readers of
StarWarsHelmets.com know - he's one of the most respected people in this
business. Well done Steve! |
|
|
|
As with all the premium helmets from EFX, it comes with the
brushed metal and acrylic stand, plaque and documentation |
|
|
| Again, thanks to Richie and Rebelscum for these
great photos - showing off another superb pair of replica helmets from eFX. For more information on
availability for these helmets
