What TK helmet is this? + bucket questions

TomBangkok · Post by **TomBangkok** » Fri Dec 03, 2010 4:52 pm

At Simply toys, in the window.

How is this compare to i.e the AP helmet? Is this one at Simply Toys, better than an FX bucket, size wise and accuracy wize?

What on the Simply Toys helmet need to be adjusted for a better ESB accuracy? Are the blue vents too short?

Is 260$ a good price for this bucket?

Thanks!
Tom

(Sorry for the size...)

This is a Master Replica helmet. It's rather heavy to troop in it for long hours but it is accepted by the 501st Legion though I would strongly recommend doing some modifications.

1) drill another gap on each side of the frown to make it 4 gaps on each side of the teeth.
2) paint the teeth grey.
3) drill 3 screws on both side of the ear piece.

Optional
1) move the brow higher
2) putty up the seam line along the teeth.

Yes the ear screws is a must. I have those on my FX now, it's an ok helmet with lots of mods, it's just way too big...

I think the teeth design/colors on this MR helmet is what struck me first as being "off" a bit.
How come it's heavy?

I have one of the above and it's way heavier than what I am using now.

But it's still way better than FX helmet which is inaccurate, heavy and oversized.

Maybe you will like to ask the store is there a discount for members? I'm a member so u can use my card if you want.

You can call them at 68844401/68844402 to check.

Hi,
If u r getting one for ESB, (correct me if i am wrong)
The frown is the corect color and not grey.

Shaun.

Yes that is correct as well. Depends on if you want to do AHN or ESB.

Depending on which you choose, the armour/blaster configuration will need to change accordingly as well.

This is the mess that I have a hard time keeping track on, the episode specific details.
Since I only have an FX armor, I won't go episode specific. Will adjust everything for some episode once I get a better armor.
For now I'm just happy to get a better bucket.

Hey Tom, so are you getting it? I might get it but I need to go down to look at it first. How many do they have in stock coz if you want it, you can go ahead get that piece.
