Haha! Thanks, Ryan! Yeah, when I first started collecting helmets, I was buying those really expensive, high-end helmets. By the time I got it home after paying shipping as well, I was looking for the LEAST expensive way possible to display them. Being cheap is the mother of invention for sure! haha!
I have found the black series trooper helmets tend to lean backwards. I’m guessing it’s due to the battery box in the back.(i don’t have batteries in) Have you faced that issue at all?
I have totally seen those and love them, Gary! I just found about them too late and now, for consistency, I stick with the brushed metal based towel holders. Those are such a good option as well, though. Also, I saw the Twitter post they put up of your black Scout Trooper helmet a couple days ago It looks AWESOME!
@@PaulsCollectibles you’d never know that the stands were kitchen roll holders TBH. The brushed chrome is very effective and looks expensive. I can’t wait for the custom biker scout helmet to arrive. It’s been shipped 👍🏽
I'm about there myself, Matt. I've used up all the shelf space in my Star Wars studio, and if I want to display more, without rotating some out, I'll have to look at hanging them on the wall. We shall see....
Hello, Parris! These are Detolf cabinets from Ikea. They have since been discontinued, but there are some very comparable ones on their site that you can find pretty easily.
Hey paul I know this is off topic from this video, but I wanted to know if you have had any experience with or knowledge of cyber craft and their helmets. Are they a reliable source with good qaulity, or is not worth the 400 dollar price range their products usually fall in? Ive been seeing a lot of ads for them latley and any input you could give would be much appreciated.
No problem at all, Christian. I actually get asked this question quite a bit. First off, make sure if you deal with them, you use their official website! Scammers are constantly stealing their photos and putting up false websites to steal money from people. I literally just talked to a buddy about this very thing two days ago when he found a supposed helmet company "clearance-ing" their helmets for $9.99! However, all the photos of the products were stolen Cybercraft pictures. That being said, I have followed this company for years and have watched them grow from a niche provider to the juggernaut they are today. They used to operate out of Russia, but have contact information in the UK now, so they may have moved some or all of their operation due to the Ukraine conflict. I have never purchased a helmet from them and do not have an in-hand model to review. I know several collectors who have purchased from them and were very happy with the quality, construction and delivery of the product. So, it appears they are a safe bet. Just look very closely at the helmet you want to buy from them first. I have never purchased one because they all just look a little "off" to me. Nothing horrible, but they don't appeal to me all that much. That's why I have never purchased one from them. Hope this helped and happy helmet hunting!
WAY ahead of you, US Agent Aaryn! I ordered that one from Big Bad Toy Store and Entertainment Earth right as they went live about 45 minutes ago! Can't wait to get mu hands on it!
I love seeing the ingenuity of collectors, thanks for the answer to what you use for your stands. I look forward to seeing the next video.

I use 13” stands produced by New Image Prop Replicas and are available in 4 different sizes and 2 types of base logos. I think they retail at 25 GBP.

What stands do you use for the helmets
Great 🙂 Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
You're welcome, Rik. Hope it helps!
I got some Helmet hangers off of Amazon, it will be a nice change from the Paper Towel holders I have been using.

Hi Paul I was wondering where did you get your helmet displayed cases
