Just to be fair, wanted to point out that all the scout helmets I saw in the archives had smoke tinted lenses like the EFX.

I'm not really a fan of the direction they took with that one either. It's not specific to any film version and more of a hodge podge. Most of the costume components are not sculpturally accurate to any film version. You can tell that the artistic choices were made by someone not knowledgable...

Thanks man. And yeah I completely agree about the accuracy vs artist interpretation thing. It might be fine for other film franchises, but it doesn't really work for Star Wars in my opinion.

I appreciate that knightline. I definitely got the impression that some of the creative team (but not all because some of the people I worked directly with were really great and totally 'got it') had some distain for my film accurate approach to the projects I was involved with. It was really...

Thanks mandible. That was originally the plan. I also developed a 1/2 scale for them as well. For reasons unknown to me, our communications broke down after my involvement with those projects ended. Then after some time passed I heard that they partnered with Legacy to help them with their Star...

This could have been soooooo much better.

It could have been this if they had only asked. .

The sabers pictured in those graphics are just placeholder images. They are not going to be PCR but full on metal replicas. Lightsabers are much easier to manufacture than helmets so we anticipate these moving through the process much more quickly.

That is the special edition. They were stuck in customs which delayed them from being available for the first two days of the show but then they arrived and were available for pick up on Friday.

Just fyi, that's the latest sample directly from the factory. Still a couple minor tweaks before calling it a final.

Jack, I'm only involved in the product development side of the business, so that is the only area I can speak to. Anything regarding orders/transactions is not something that I have the ability to assist with. People were having a discussion on RS about wait times etc.. and I made a post and...

Thanks! I'm always around to talk/discuss stuff from the product development side of things. I check all the forums almost daily (sometimes multiple times). Most of the time there's just not anything for me to contribute. And if I had a dollar for every time I was asked the price or release...

I hear you. There just isn't anything of significance to relay. No collectibles company gives actual play by play on whats going on the behind the scenes at the factories etc.. .

I made this post on RS but thought would be good idea to post it here too. In response to all the comments I can say this (as if it's not been said a million times already). If you haven't heard anything, then that means there is nothing new to hear. You can assume things are still moving...
