e-FX Collectibles Precision Cast
Shadow Trooper / Black Hole
Limited Edition Helmet |
| This new helmet is being produced alongside e-FX
collectibles'
forthcoming "Empire Strikes Back PCR Stormtrooper
Helmet" and is essentially an all-black version of it - hence
we can expect a lightweight glossy-black vac-formed ABS helmet, with silver
and chrome detailing.
Despite being a low-grade plastic helmet it was given a "limited Edition"
moniker and only 501 were made (to tie in
with the Fighting 501st Stormtroopers).

Straight off you're probably thinking to yourself that it
looks a hell of a lot like the expensive fiberglass
Master Replicas Limited Edition Shadow
Trooper Helmet made back in 2008? Well that's because of two reasons;
firstly its come from a very similar mould (the same as the CE Stormtrooper)
so has that symmetrical appearance- and secondly since we have a sneaking
suspicion that these "development" photographs are actually of the
aforementioned fiberglass Limited Edition Master Replicas helmet as there's
a good chance no prototype actually exists yet! |

We'll update you with a full review when we get out hands
on one but in the meantime we can say that (like the aforementioned new e-FX
ESB Stormtrooper Helmet), its made of vac-formed ABS - and
will look like a all-black version of it - save the chrome lenses. As mentioned on
the e-FX Stormtrooper preview, they are using a tweaked version of the old Master Replicas "CE"
moulds so it will have the same frown join - but the finishing will be nice especially
those mic-tips which are pretty accurate for such a "low-cost" collectible. |

|
So in summary its an all-black ABS Shadow Trooper which
will be a limited Edition of just 501. |
