Yep, well spotted, I've been trying to find that detail in screen shots but I can't find it.

Because it isn't there (that sharp) - overcleaned - oversharpened ...

So do you have a summary, do you think they're the same helmet/mask (Rubies, GH/Jeff and JB)?

Here's one more shot that I believe is a GH ROTJ. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.

Just seen this thread and can add my 2p since I've known a lot of these guys for a loooooong time......

JB Rotj - I had one of these and only sold mine a month ago. The face was a 20thC (same as his ESB) and can be sure of that as I know who JB bought his 20th C off. NOt sure about the dome but I suppose it could be based on the ANH dome he recast from GH

GH RotJ - dont know anything about this. I'm not really into the RotJ's, I only kept mine as long as I did as it was signed by Dave P (makes me sad to think its sold now)

Gino RotJ - I thought Gino's kerfuffle with GH using Jeff Vader helmet (Jeff from DP) was over the ANH not RotJ? Either way it was decidedly uncool of Gino to go pointing the finger at GH when Jeff didnt have a problem. This was one of the various rounds in the "Helmet Wars" that seemed to have gone on for decades!

Michael B Statue - I always assumed that the helmet from this was in fact the 20th C. Maybe I just dreamed it :lol

Cheers

Jez

I'm sure that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but the GH ROTJ facemask to me looks so much nicer than the GH ANH. I think a conversion of the ROTJ to ANH would be so worthwhile.

Guys... you sure these two are the same helmet? They don't give off the same vibe when looking at it, imo.

Well... the reason for them looking different, is exactly why there are those that dislike the GH ANH - as the GH RotJ is what I refer to as: "Original Cast" - a term used to distinguish the two types nothing else.

I think the dome on the mask in the photo on the left is tilted too far forward, this makes the rear of the dome appear too short. There is no ring fitted inside the GH ROTJ domes (although there is on the top of the facemask) so you have to find or make one for the dome, and position the dome to you own liking, hence everyones helmets look different.

Hey guys, I also own a GH ROTJ, i can post pics if you are interested ...

it's still not painted though (After all this time :lol )

It's a beautiful helmet, and in no way related to the DP deluxe, 20thC or Elstree...

Its just not available anymore as GH told me his molds didn't hold too well.

Please do. Stand 6 feet back (to minimize perspective distortion) and photograph with good lighting. Also shots with the dome off. That would be great!
