lightside Posted July 30, 2012 Report Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) We know that Hero and Stunt helmets have details which difference them each other, but by looking some shots picked up by a New Hope I noticed some helmets mixing these details. Look at this picture and specifically at the stormtrooper on the left: He has the three hero teeth and the higher stunt frown. Opposite, the stunt on the right has a lower frown than the hero on the left. What do you think about that? It's not very clear in the image, but it seems lenses are not bubbled as well.

john danter Posted July 30, 2012 Report Posted July 30, 2012 Just looks like Han's lid to me. Luke's had a very low brow but Han's didn't really Quote
Griffin-X[TK] Posted July 30, 2012 Report Posted July 30, 2012 IMO...helmets were reused quite a bit in the movie. Who knows...these guys could have been TK-420/421 who were outside the Falcon and who had their suits stolen by Han and Luke. Quote
troopermaster Posted July 30, 2012 Report Posted July 30, 2012 There is more to a Hero helmet than just a low brow. The hero is a completely different helmet and can be seen with a low brow and a high brow as above. All Hero helmets have bubble lenses, are made of ABS and three teeth cut out. Some Stunt helmets also have three teeth cut out and have low brows, but that doesn't make them a Hero. Stunt helmets can take on many different looks due to assembly, trimming, and painting, so don't be surprised if you see low brow, three tooth Stunt helmets. You won't see any Stunt helmets with bubble lenses - just flat green acetate. Quote
lightside Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Posted July 30, 2012 Thank you for explanation Paul. Quote
bigironvault Posted July 30, 2012 Report Posted July 30, 2012 Glad you put it out there so concisely Paul, I've been having that low-brow discussion with some folks. Certainly a lot of variation in the Stunts in regards to that topic. Just happened that the Sandy's were exceptionally high-brow imho and some take that to mean all Stunts should be that way. Quote
