I was able to pick this up yesterday for $100 with the box. I remember passing on it when it first came out due to those seams, but I can’t believe how it skyrocketed.
That’s a brilliant price to pick it up - basically retail! It’s nuts how much the price has gone up. I love it as a display piece but it’s one of the worst helmets from the black series like for build quality
It is of the lowest quality in the entire series, and I paid too much for mine in original box 5 years ago, however, your's looks great with the shawl. I'll have to keep an eye out for the toy mask with the shawl, as I want to do the same thing with mine. I've been looking in local haberdasheries for a suitable material, and that toy is just the thing.
100% agree. It feels exactly like the 2008 toy line rather than the collectable black series buckets we get now. Maybe they’ll re-release with updated form and electronics. The shawl was a game changer for me - those half-masks are easy to pick up on eBay (search for kylo ren mask instead of helmet) and saves trying to find the fabric pattern 😊
I got this as a pre order years ago....Feels like the cheapest product ever made by hasbro...I'll kill all value on mine and mod it with some plastic putty aound edges and repaint it.
Yeah it feels so bad - you can see that they hadn't made any improvements on the toy helmets made for kids. I do wonder if they might re-release this one day now they have the more premium design for these types of helmets nailed down
Part of the reason the value on these is so high is because of their mod-ability so you might not necessarily kill the value if you do. I think one of the mods people like is changing and improving the voice modulator
A $10 voice changer is better than that helmets voice changer, $10 one sounds exactly like the movies
Yeah hasbro missed the mark massively with this 😂
