I bet GG will get around to releasing the Jango scaled helmet -and that'll be the end of it.
For me I'd be OK with that. I would like to have a same scale Jango helmet to go with my MR Boba Helmet.Jay_the_Lesser said:I bet GG will get around to releasing the Jango scaled helmet -and that'll be the end of it.
Too bad that stand makes no sense with Jango. Imperial symbol with a sort of Death Star inspired stand? Whaattt?BenObi_70 said:It's probably a good thing they never started up 1/6th scale helmets...didn't Tomy do those and weren't they really cheesy?
A half scale line has so much potential and GG isn't doing anything with it. I asked VS about this in her question thread and got no response.
Jango is available for preorder but who knows when that will come out.

Absolutely. Looks like I'm never going to get a Biggs scaled helmet to go with my Wedge and Luke minis. *sigh*sucho23 said:What a horrible way to kill a product line that had so much potential.
I have the MR Stormtrooper, MR Shadow Stormie and Riddell Vader and they are awesome. I didn't know the new ones made by GG are just empty plastic shells...DarthWenger said:Just picked up the Pink Vader helmet as only going for just over £20 and have to say I am pretty disappointed.
Its no where near the quality of the scaled MR helmets as its looks like a cheap plastic shell with nothing inside it, just a blanking plate on the bottom and hole to stick the stand through. At least the MR one's looked and felt quality and had the details inside and visors. Even at such a cheap price I feel a little cheated. No way do I want GG to do anymore.
Stick to what you are good at instead of these cheap MR imitations.
WHAAATT??!! I have the Jango helmet on pre-order. If this is true that it's just an empty shell I'll have to cancel. PDQ!!! I hope that is just a rumor. What a disappointment that would be. Has anyone posted the question in the ask VS thread? To see whether these will be detailed inside as well.Sergiu said:I have the MR Stormtrooper, MR Shadow Stormie and Riddell Vader and they are awesome.

Yes, a banner job by GG on taking care of this line. Even 1 or 2 a year could have been nice. Guess they are too busy catching up on their backlog of mini-busts, statues, and dios? No? Maybe they have been too busy revamping their web site? Working on more consistent customer service? Making mini busts of idiotic TV "personalities"? BAH! This helmet line was dead the minute GG was the owner of it. They should have just let it die instead of 2 Vader helmets, and a Jango that someday may be actually released......drmdns said:No more interest in this line.I have most of the MR releases and will just finish up with these.![]()

Either way I think you can stick a fork in it.Skullsplitter said:I asked about the hollow helmets and VS said that yes in fact the interior of the helmets will be detailed. I think GG knows the line would have died before it even got going if the helmets had no interior detailing.
Maybe. I'm just interested in the Jango for now anyway. Now if GG were smart the would do helmets NOT done buy MR or Riddell. I'm sure there would be pretty good interest in say the clone commanders or commandos. I'm not a huge PT fan but there are some really cool helmet designs there. I would love a scaled ARF Trooper helmet.sucho23 said:Either way I think you can stick a fork in it.Skullsplitter said:I asked about the hollow helmets and VS said that yes in fact the interior of the helmets will be detailed.

Are you talking about the gold Vader? I got one, and it looked like they had used gold spray paint. There were runs and ripples all over it.DarthWenger said:I was so disgusted with the quality after a couple of days that I sent it back to Play even though I only paid £20.
My experience is that the helmet is made of cheap flimsy plastic (so much so that one side of the Vader helmet had actually become unclipped inside the box) Come on GG, the Vader helmet is legendary and should be a forerunner for this line but mine did NOT have any inside details. Just a blanking plate, the helmet was completely empty inside apart from a clip inside that the stand clips into. I just wasn't happy with the quality of it, the thing weighed next to nothing in my hand.
I do not know what GG have planned for the upcoming helmets but I am more than happy to stick with the quality MR scaled helmets. I'll continue to buy GG's busts and statues but I'm completely done with this line.
