After waiting for MANY months......it finally arrived. :slp

Though it isn't one of my favorites (I'm more of an OT guy; dents, nicks and asymmetry) I think it's a great helmet to own.

Though the quality of the pic below isn't all that great, I thought it would be nice to post it.

sorry for the double post.

I have a question about the MR ROTS, do you have a plaque with the helmet? do you now how editions MR wanted to do with this LE.

-I have ordered a MR ROTS SE limited to 500, signed by Hayden.

I can't wait to have mine when I see your pics.

BTW : excellent quality pics :cool:

Yes, I have a plaque (LE nr 707), but without the edition size. IIRC the LE is limited to 750.

I've noticed that in comparison pics the RotS is always positioned higher than the rest, which imo throws off any comparison, since they are not aligned from the top of the dome down, if you know what I mean... would be interesting to see them - truly - side by side! :thumbsup

And again... it looks like a really nicely crafted helmet from what I can see, but aesthetically it just looks weird, imo. And is it just me or doesn't it look like the mouth is drooping to the left, even though it is symmetrical?

StarWars Collector,

Could you post a side-by-side comparison of equal height of the facemasks only -- an OT vs the ROTS MR?

I don't think anyone's done that before.

Please also remember to stand back about 6 feet and zoom in. Also, your shots of the facemask itself (outdoors) were dark so it obscured a lot of detail. It would be great if you could have some light on the face. (Note Mikajedi's photos)

Thanks!!

Well I don't thin this helmet is 100% symmetrical, anyway I thin It's the way I took the first pic with the signature.
It's also how I put the helmet on the stand.

Overall I can say this is a very nice helmet, I'm very happy to have it.

May be when I'll have the time I 'll try to make a comparison with an ot face plate.

Regards

Sorry Mac, I completely forgot to post those pics..... :ac6 :banger

It's b/w because of the red wall in the background, but I still have the original.

Interesting to see them like this, side by side. Anyone notice how the cheeks on the RotS are angled more downwards, drooping, making the whole face look like he's melting or crying or something?
