The "Hero" Helmets
were made for the leading actors in the film and were also used many close-up
shots. They differ from the "Stunt" helmets as they feature grey
bubble lenses, a smaller frown and lowered brow.
Following on from the success of the “Stunt” Trooper and Imperial
Pilot Helmets we've listened closely to the wishes of our collector customers.
Therefore rather than just "Hero-ising" the Stunt helmet we've made
a few minor revisions and for this helmet the original master moulds were
precisely duplicated and a number of processes took place on this new mould
to finalise the "Hero" design.
Made of white 2.5mm High Impact Styrene matching the original 1976 colour
tones. The Hero's feature grey acrylic "bubble" eye lenses, brow
trim produced from the original dyes and tools, ultra thin decals matching
the original designs,mic tips cast from original piece, withall other detailing
hand painted. Each unique hand-made helmet is signed by Andrew Ainsworth and
includes a new design helmet stand, incorporating a numbered brushed metal
plaque
