Hasbro Black Series replicas at Celebration?

[Synz314]

I can't find much of anything regarding if they have any lightsabers or helmets at their booth online. Anybody in attendance see anything new? I remember at the last Celebration finding out about the Poe helmet and Kenobi lightsaber for the first time there.

YESSSS!!!

 

[Halliwax]

Yay!!!

 

[DiggsBarklightr]

Giggity!!

This will be the best Black Series helmet ever - even better than the Stormie bucket! It looks fairly accurate, is wearable and affordable. All it needs is some weathering. People will be going nuts over this (in a positive way, of course)!

 

[Halliwax]

i can see all the possibilities too with custom stuff!! wedge, biggs, porkins!! BLUE LEADER!!! YES!!!

 

[Galactican]

I can foresee the birth of massive trophy walls..!

Maybe I should start stocking up on IKEA sharing certificates because the demand for Detolf cabinets will skyrocket as soon as the helmet is released...

YAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(The judges would also have accepted "ESB Fett" as an answer...although no doubt Hasbro would have done all kinds of weird things to the geometry, so maybe never mind...)

I can’t believe they are doing the Red 5. It’s top of my list. Hopefully they will be to scale as there other BS helmets have been.

I really think they missed exclusive opportunities with the Poe helmet. They should have offered exclusive paint jobs of other helmets at Target, Walmart, Amazon, GameStop like they have in the past with the stormtrooper and the lower end clone trooper helmets. I’m hoping they offer other pilot paint jobs in the future for these.

That does look very nice. I'd like to get my hands on it and play with it, but I'll stick with my EFX helmet. Poe's helmet is my favorite of the Black Series and this one looks even better. I'm guessing it'll have R2D2 sound effects and more cockpit sounds again.

Lol, I just had this discussion with my son and told him it was time to make a trip to IKEA for another shelving unit. He thinks I’m nuts.

From the box it looks like you can select X-wing or snow speeder effects. Looks like some other functions too but I can make them out.

I have the Efx too but that’s a show piece. Not something I want to mess around with. Currently I have a fan built Red 5 and an Anovos reserved via Entertainment Earth but there is no way I’m passing this one up. I’ll also be watching Amazon for future sales. The Poe helmet was down around $40. If that happens with this one, I’ll be stock piling for future custom paint jobs.

This looks awesome! Hopefully the price point will be the same as the rest of the series

Very cool! I would also have been excited for a Scout Trooper Helmet as there is a shortage of affordable options out there. But I see at least two of these in my future. One for Red 5 and then another for Biggs!

Found this write up at Rebelscum.com: Hasbro: Star Wars Celebration 2019 Panel

The Black Series Helmets

We got a look at the upcoming Luke Skywalker X-Wing Fighter Pilot helmet. It features a fully padded interior, adjustable chin strap and mouth piece, and surround sounds. It will feature sounds from the Death Star and Hoth battles. It will also project red and green lights synced with explosion sounds.

It looks better in person. Someone got a picture of it at the booth.

 

[Cameron]

Not bad at all. Need about a dozen of these. Gonna paint em all and make a wall.

MJF will this be a force Friday release?
