Star Wars The Black Series Imperial Stormtrooper Electronic Voice Changer Helmet, Collector Item, Ages 8 and up (Amazon Exclusive)

Nice

Fun!

Simply gorgeous looking. The best looking Stormtrooper helmet you will find at an affordable price. While likely not meeting the 501sts standards without some work, for anybody else it will be a magnificent piece to display or wear to torture the cat.The helmet is three pieces, at least out of the box. Unlike some other adult helmet replicas, in which the separate pieces are used to get a better fit and close around the head, (Hasbro Legends Iron Man and Starlird, Bandai's Red Power Ranger) for the Stormtrooper helmet, the three pieces are largely for manufacture and shipping. Once you clap them together you will not be taking them apart. It goes on over the head,just as seen in the movies.Fit and finish is superb. I can't speak to the minute accuracy of the sculpt, but to the inexpert eye it looks dead on. It's mainly unpainted white ABS plastic. Which is a good thing in this case. Stormtrooper gear is shiny white plastic. With some nice clean paint apps for detailing, such as the blue on the respirator vents and the grey temple and nose details. The lenses are dark green. I'm not sure if that is accurate to the on screen props, but they look right in the fles. Giving the shiny black look for the eyes with just enough color to make them seem real.The voice changer is pure garbage. It sounds awful, randomly works and just seems tacked on. The only reason I don't take a star off for it is it is completely and utterly pointless and unnecessary. Nobody is buying this thing just to hear themselves say "these aren't the droids w're looking for" and "move along" through a cheesy toy voice box. Just leave the batteries out.The fit on an adult male head is decent. The internal strapping is meh at best. It suffers for only being anchored to the front half of the helmet (due to the three piece design). Without a hear anchor on the head strap the helmet tends to tilt upwards slightly, limiting your downward vision. If you plan of routinely wearing this thing it would be worthwhile to invest in some cheap motorcycle of football helmet padding to put inside.While it has a few minor flaws, the shear value of this thing cannot be beat. It's the helmet you have craved since that glorious May Day in 1978. A look and design that has honestly never been equaled. And it is available at a below $100 retail price. You can't beat that.

Very well made excellent for display 4/5 its voice changer doesnt work well.

Giving this product a 5 because ... well because you aren't going to get much better for the price, no the helmet isn't perfect but coming from someone who has helmets that cost upwards of 600.00 this is a pretty good option.1. the helmet comes in 3 pieces which makes for some wonky connections and i don't really understand why they did this, I assume different mfg's of parts but no idea. a solid mold is always better.2. the voice changer is not a changer more an amplifier but does have authentic static burst so that is cool.3. The face mask "front piece" is severely bulldogged for lack of a better term, I initially put the helmet together and excitedly put it on only to have it come crashing down on the bridge of my nose - the face is seriously flattened... to the extent the respirator portion almost takes a 90 degree turn downwards.**** they could easily fix all the above by making this a single mold and making the inner and outer pieces of the helmet out of the same type of plastic. again not really complaining because it is a good helmet for 60-70 dollars.here is what i did to modify mine.- Removed the plastic inside that was used to hide electronics and connections.- Removed the rubber headband size adjuster - replaced with padding- Removed and replaced voice mod with a different version and added additional speakers (preference)- Reshaped the 3 parts using a heat gun, you could also just use hot water but do not do this without watching a video and that still does not guarantee that you will not destroy the helmet if you don't know what you are doing.i still need to put the helmet back together and the will use epoxy to secure the joints on the inside, then i will reshape again and ultimately fill the cracks with Rondo, sand and repaint... all this is my preference and beware this obviously is not recommended by the mfg and I'm sure voids warranty and return. I will post before pictures so you can see what I'm talking about but will not post pics of the altered item.Thank you

Perfect for showing up to online meetings. Nothing like crying that I was trying to get a the meeting of Death Star survivors. Worth it.

I received my Storm Trooper helmet and was just in awe. Instructions were easy to read in putting together. The adjustable strap inside the helmet was a perfect fit. You can look straight ahead with the helmet on but not look down for obvious reasons… you have the helmet on. I put batteries in the helmet and pressed the button to activate. When you speak, you sound just like a Storm Trooper in the movie. Just amazing. This is a must have for any collector or Star Wars fan! Worth the money! Thank you for fast shipping and good packaging! Arrived in mint condition.
