WOAW, what? Didn't know that.

Darth Karo (and whoever took these pictures): may I use it for my Vader Helmet list?

And I was wondering, since I had a different pic of the GH ROTJ
in my head ... thanks for clearing that up, and ... GINO - time to
post some more pics of that Helmet ... :wink:

The JB ROTJ is a whole different story. Imho JB recast the GH ROTJ, changed the GH two step mounting ring for a DP Deluxe style mount (just so he could claim is wasn't a recast of the GH/JEFF ROTJ) and also altered the widows peak. Just an educated guess on my behalf.

What do you think? I'd trust the eye and opinion of a sculpter.

The Elstree ROTJ and GH ROTJ are different beasts completely. I think the Elstree's neck looks to have been shortened too (as well as the fat lip added).


Thanks for the clarification. The listing under the photos I had were ROTJ, but since I didn't know where they came from it would explain my error.

Ok here are Fatherless One's photos and his explanation on each.

The first photo shows the difference in dome "flare" between the GH ROTJ and a DP Deluxe. The next was a photo shows the facial detail of the GH ROTJ, you can see the similarities to the Rubies statue face mask. The following 3 photo's show the Rubies Statue face/helmet. The last three are GH's own photo's of the ROTJ he was offering at the time.

Fine with me, but I'm not the owner. I guess you could use them until you are told not to. They weren't given to me in private, so I don't see a problem.

There's not much I can say about the GH/JB ROTJ thing, as I have not
"dug into it" (I don't have closer looks at Helmets that look "off" to me.)

But that GINO ROTJ looks to be "spot on" from those 3 pics ... are there
more pics from that run, as I noticed they where numbered 3, 8 and 9 ... ?

The face is brilliant - clearly Original ROTJ is what 1st springs my mind
when I look at them - I have to see more and look closer though - :wink:

Cool, thanks... and if whoever took the pictures don't want me to use it... I will of course remove it! :thumbsup

The GINO just has the "real look" to me compared to the GH ...

But funny how again picture-taking can make things look -
I think this pic of the GH ROTJ looks at least very nice

More photo's on the way Darth Karo, please post'em as soon as you can. I'd be interested in JRX's opinion too.

Maybe I should move the latter part of this discussion into a separate thread discussing the GH/GINO RotJ?
