Looking for helmet

Post by Cybermew3 »

Hi all,

I have seen the following on eBay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Star-Wars-Emper ... 1278wt_922

There are also 2 more from south america. I'm sure the question is asked to death but they all look pretty good quality wise, I'm just not sure which way to go??

If anyone knows a reliable person who makes these and will ship to Australia? I would love to know/ support the community :(

Hi, I would steer clear from ebay. I have one from TPE in Australia, it is a lot lighter than fibreglass. You can contact them here theplasticempire@gmail.com

Good luck with your project

Thanks Boush!

Whilst I await a reply from TPE, has anyone had a good experience with TNG props helmets? They were the other company I was looking at

I have mine from FP and love it large enough to fit my head and to place fans inside. :trsuit:

I got mine from FP as well and I love it. Fits perfectly with a little extra room to spare.

I just ordered my helmet from someone named Aaron via email at theplasticempire1@gmail.com (TPE). $450 and about a month to make.

I just got an email back from FP and they are still around emailed at info@fenixprops.com

My understanding of FP is they just aren't listing anything on Ebay due to a policy change. They are still around and making the prop replicas we've all been using (clones, sith lords and bounty hunters included) all this time.

My Bucket is TPE
It is made from ABS and is super light, you will not be disapointed.

Hello, I have just had an email from TPE, someone sent them an interest email in regard to a Shadow Guard, but their reply bounced back.
If you read this Ken, can you please send another email, they are happy to help you.
