They don't allow free-mail or aol-mail anymore.

The DP '96 is small. Not accurate to the DP '95, DP DLX or movie sized helmets.

Well, it has a nice shape to it. Was anything done to it to make it wider?

You sure it's a DP '96? It really doesn't have the shape like one. Couldn't find anything about the DP '95 on Jez site (hey, you need to update, mate... and take away some of those Vaders), so am not sure if the dent is part of that cast.

Come on Fett people... you need to chime in here... as I know way too little about these helmets to give good advice. Imo, it just doesn't look like a DP '96.

Hope this helps. The "Mystery Size" is approx. the size of a screen-used.

Well... I stand corrected. It's just that I've never seen a '96 look like that... they are more straight up and down, no flaring. Looks way more like a '95 to me. Maybe you got one of the good ones?

I had a DP96 and it did have just as good a shape as a 95 I was told. The flair on the above helmet and on mine was overexaggerated by the visor but I was pleased with the overall shape of the helmet.
Of course its pretty small potatoes now that the MR is on the scene.

Well, one mod is to heat the thing up and press the front and back together. Honest sellers would share photos of the side to show it compressed somewhat. This does improve the overall appearance.
