Licensed Helmets |
| |
|
 |
Australian provider of "Licensed Helmets
to Southern Hemisphere".
Bit of a mixed bag although their Biker Scout and Boussh were superb.
Licensed Expired 2004/5 |
 |
First producer of Star Wars Helmets, holding
License from 1977 all the way to 2000. Did a range of helmets and even
life-sizes of varying prices and quality. Licensed Expired
2000 |
 |
Current Licensed Producers of Premium Priced
Props and Helmets. Management Team all ex-Master Replicas and initial
products extremely strong. There are great expectations of this company!
Current License Holder |
 |
Producer of Quality Replica Props, moved
onto Helmets after much success with Lightsabers and Blasters. Unable to
retain license in 2008 led to the formation of E-FX above. License
Expired 2008 |
 |
Producer of "Premium
wearable costumes" (which seems to overlap E-FX's license somewhat).
Recently shown soft costumes (e.g. Anakin, Obi-Wan and Padme Amidala) but is
working on Stormtrooper Armor (although we don't know if they'll ever
release it since its been 3 years!) Current License Holder
- Page up as soon as they start producing! |
 |
Producer of lower cost wearable costumes,
masks and helmets. Most of range is aimed at "fancy dress" market hence
sub-par reputation. Released disappointing Stormtrooper armor in 2009
Current License Holder |
 |
Producer of "Non Wearable" Busts, Life sizes
Statues and Marquette's. Very successful pre-order business model with
limited-run ranges ensures products typically sell out quickly.

Shepperton Design
Studio's |
We're adding these here as there isn't a
"Non-licensed" section - because 99% of vendors who produce Star Wars
helmets and costume replicas don't advertise themselves for fear of
litigation. Shepperton Design Studios and their owner Andrew Ainsworth are
the exception to this as outwardly market themselves and their products.
As many of you will know this resulted in legal action from Lucasfilm,
initially in 2005 in the US Courts and then in the UK Courts a couple of
years later. This action is apparently still ongoing as the rights to the
production of replica helmets and armor are argued.
Their inclusion here is not to suggest any kind of legitimacy to their
range but just to have some place in the site where we can group their
products together. NOT Licensed |
