javamonkey Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 I recently was able to get a ROTJ style helmet that was made from LFL molds for Don Post Studios. It was used as a reference piece for the Deluxe line of Star Wars helmets that Don Post did. It was made in 1995. Edit - This is more representative of the ANH Special Edition helmets, which makes sense given it's construction date. Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 That was the sound of my jaw dropping. What a find! Has anyone brought up doing a run of these? There aren't a lot of ROTJ stormtroopers out there, but this would certainly be the bucket to get if you ever did one. Quote
SuperTrooper Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 Thats awsome. (we need a drooling smiley) Quote

Hey Javamonkey longtime no see I have been reading all about your findings and cant wait to get my hands on your next great project It figures you drop a bomb like this right when i was going to try and mod an ANH helmet in to an ROTJ Quote

BactaReality Posted January 28, 2007 Report Posted January 28, 2007 So if that's what DP had to work with,.. what happened? An accurate ROTJ helmet is definately on my list of must haves, unfortunately, I have'nt been able to get my hands on any accurate versions. Could this be the answer to my dreams? Quote
SuperTrooper Posted February 6, 2007 Report Posted February 6, 2007 You tease............lookin good. Quote
TK8280 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Posted February 6, 2007 I can't wait till these bad boys are put on the market Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted February 6, 2007 Report Posted February 6, 2007 It's a fantastic contribution to the world of stormtroopers. ROTJ configurations are pretty rare - I'm sure this will help convince some to take the plunge Quote

javamonkey Posted February 15, 2007 Author Report Posted February 15, 2007 This molding process will keep the original intact Quote
tk709[TK] Posted February 15, 2007 Report Posted February 15, 2007 Very nice. Like to see how it turns out. ROTJ buckets are far and few between. Quote
Guest T*E Posted March 14, 2007 Report Posted March 14, 2007 Not to pee in anyones cheerios, but the helmet is NOT an rotj helmet. It is in fact a tour helmet that was molded from an rotj one. The main differences in this are that the ears are completely remade from scratch and the cap and back was majorly smoothed out as well. I think what makes this cool is that it is an SE helemt and actually is more ANH than anything else since this same type was used in the added sandtrooper scenes. Regardless, this is one cool thing-a-ma-jigger! T*E Quote
