Maybe his helmet swelled when he hit a tree on Endor

Wow, I don't think I've seen a helmet this out of proportion since forever...  What do you guys think?

 

Scout Trooper Helmet

Yikes. Is that screen capture from a Rebels cartoon scout?

That is a Rubies Scout helmet. Believe it or not, that is the officially sanctioned helmet. Yeah...

Believe it or not, that's the official stock photo. The "good" one was the fiberglass don post one they only made 25 of

[Peaches_DC]

The original Don Post from 1997. Those things take a ton of modification to look decent (I should know... I did it). You literally have to tear the entire thing apart and start from scratch. When they're done though... they look pretty good if a little small. The molds were actually fairly screen accurate, but the vinyl used to make the helmets was HORRIBLE. Couldn't hold its shape at all which is why the helmet looks so horribly flared out. The Deluxe version that was fiberglass was actually considered an excellent helmet. Those fiberglass models were also made by Altmann's in Australia under LFL license and they are absolutely AMAZING, but extremely rare these days.

 

Bottom line on the helmet pictured... good intentions gone horribly wrong. This is mine just prior to finishing several years ago. The same base helmet, just reconstructed and reinforced in the right areas:

Great information, Peaches_DC!  I was just blown away when I saw it on evilBay.

[Peaches_DC]

Its quite pathetic that they STILL find buyers for those things. It does look pretty ridiculous

[SMUDGE]

It looks like it was made for John Merrick(The Elephant Man) -ha!

This must be a scout trooper working for Lord Dark Helmet from Spacballs.

Now it only needs to be hit from sides by 2 tree trunks like the Endor AT-ST
