Picked up the Hasbro BS Luke X-Wing helmet.
At first it wasn’t my favorite helmet, decided to pass on at retail price ( here in France 120€ / 100$). But a local shop put it at 65€ during the Black Friday. The information spread like wildfire on FB and they sold everything in a week.
Managed to grab one.
But It is surprisingly good and well made. Love the details and the paint which is truly good. Even at 100$ I would have been pleased. Happy to get one, I would have regret it.
I know, still a few years ago, the prop and especially helmet market was kind of sacred market of very few makers and specialized customers.
When I ordered my Quasi V2 back to 2017, I really felt that it was something special and I always tried to take te route of prop makers rather than big companies BUT I have to admit that Hasbro made a wonderful job with their BS series helmet ( except the crappy Vader) and offer to a larger audience the possibility to taste the prop world joy with an unbeatable sculpt/accuracy/price ratio.
Ok it will never be as noble as a RS, EFX or Anovos but it is freaking dam good!
After the great Stormie, the impressive Boba, this X-Wing is truly awesome.
I’ll receive a last helmet in a few days/weeks. This time not a Hasbro but from a prop maker. A helmet we do not see very often, made partially in fiberglass. This will be my last helmet as I only collect items from OT. I’ll post pics.
