I bet this clone trooper helmet is going to exceed the number of repaints we had of the Boba helmet (justifiably).

Looks like BBTS is purging some helmets to make room for these upcoming releases. For today only they have the Trapper Wolf on sale for $99.
I would really like them to pop the Storntrooper and Shadow Trooper again. Those keep selling out. One would think they're allergic to making money... I cna find Incinerator Troopers for cheap and Engineer Troopers for regular retail. I can strip and paint, but it'd be nice to start with a blank canvas.
I have a bunch of regular troopers I was planning on converting and building the rest of R1 armor for me and my friends. We've gone down a different path. I got mine on offerup and by setting alerts on amazon. I've gotten most of my BS helmets by being patient and grabbing them around $80.

Not limited editions. I think these will be the same price. We will see when the pre sales drop.
Question: If you want an Ahsoka trooper helmet and it costs the same as an all white clone trooper helmet. Why would you want to spend additional time and money converting one?
Now I know there are people who are never happy with off the shelf items and they always feel they can do better. There are a lot of talented people out there that do have the skills and like the challenge. And that’s great for them. For me, I don’t need that challenge. I think they did a great job on the helmet and I am happy with it out of the box. But if you want try your hand at it. More power to you.
I pre-ordered their Bo-Katan, projected shipping date of November 2022. It shipped in July. Make sure you keep the funds available in case they do something like that again for these.

Now that the latest Mando episode is out..
I really hope they make the Imperial Super Commando helmet. I got to see them in person a little over a year ago and they might be my favorite trooper helmet ever next to the Shore and Deathtroopers.
I want to love the Bo helmet so much but the size and the wonky paint job are such a bummer (I’ve yet to see one properly aligned). While they still did a great job I don’t think it’s really up to same standard of their other helmets at all.
If I remember correctly BS helmets have had poor paintjobs in the past, I've definitely seen some Boba helmets with wonkey Kill Stripes. Obviouisly Din doesn't require stencils so the ones that do seem to suffer.
I tend to treat these and other replicas as raw material. If the size, detailing, paint apps, weathering, or any combination are actually right... Hey, bonus. I always expect to do SOME work.
If anyone is looking for a deal or project helmets BBTS has the Boba repaint on sale for $80 today.
Just picked one up. Many thanks!

Do not buy that!! Those are my photos. That is a GEC Props resin helmet that I listed on ebay. A bunch of international eBay sellers stole my photos. It will look nothing whatsoever like that.
