You know those last two are the full scale helmets right?

[Seth Gecko]

oops yeah just postin pics fast!(corrected)

[Karma]

aren't MR doing the x-wing fighter helmet full size?

[Sir Tristram]

You know those last two are the full scale helmets right?
No they are not...they WILL have full scale counterparts, but those are .45 scale. (-ish)

[Sir Tristram]

MR will have a full scale set of helmets for order this year and they are as follows:

Boba Fett (Summer)
Red 5
Stormtrooper
212th Attack Battalion (on sale now)
Commander Gree (CS Exclusive)

[Seth Gecko]

Ah well! I'm a big fan of the scaled line i can't wait to get ALL of these.(now where is the pics of the scaled spiderman masks?:D )

[Sir Tristram]

the small scale helmets are the product of the big merger with Corgi and Cards Inc.
Those are small scale...look at the bases for verification.

[MaulFan]

Are these true MR scaled helmets, the bases look identical to the Riddell mini helmet bases, I have the Darth Vader. Or maybe there's history with Riddel and MR that I'm unaware of that would explain this.

[The Mike]

Master Replicas bought the rights to the Riddell helmets, in fact their .45 Scaled line was created in that scale because of Riddell's existing scale, they will be re-releasing all the old designs as well as the designs that were planned but never were released (TIE Pilot) then use this to springboard into their own mini helmets.

[Sith Lord 0498]

These were produced using the Riddell molds and designs, which is fine by me as I only have the Vader helmet. These were insanely high quality back in their day, and they hold up against anything produced currently. These are very welcome rehashes.

Plus, it's a springboard for future helmets, which is always nice!!! :)

This is great now I don't have lay down $200 for the Riddell Stomie so I can finally complete this collection - well kinda :rolleyes:

[tomandshell]

I have the Fett helmet and it's great!

No offense, but all you have to do is look at the helmet group pics. Those are the MR scaled blaster below them. Those helmets are MUCH bigger than the TOMY mini helmets.

who said they were from TOMy? TOMY is Gentle Giant.

Riddel is what the MR ones are following.

[Seth Gecko]

I think these are the scaled i can't tell

They are the scaled helmets. The stand coming out of the bottom is the Riddell stand post.

[Seth Gecko]

So are these the exact same as riddell or MR'ized.?

they look good.

[The Mike]

These are exactly the same as Riddell, redone by Master Replicas can't be 100% sure but no mention from any MR reps has come out saying anything more was done to them. They will be producing originals to compliment this line though...

[Seth Gecko]

Ok thats good, I'll be getting these.

[oxbeard]

Very excited about these. Glad to see this happen. Always loved the Riddell although I only picked up the Vader and X-Wing Pilot helmets.

[Seth Gecko]

Anyone hear from MR when these will go for sale?

[Qrest Fourstar]

I wonder how well they'll do. I was able to snag all the riddells some years ago at Kay bee online for $25 each.

But I would like Jango, Tie fighter pilot, and a royal guard helmet.

[Seth Gecko]

I'm probably gonna get most of em.
