Nice, Pepe! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying this one. There are a few of us out there that just can't get enough of these helmets for sure! Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video as well. I appreciate it!
Your Thumbnail hooked me and you cracked me up with the “Hit With Rocks” line. If this helmet does pegwarm, might be worth picking up for a custom project.
Thanks, SteveO! haha! As you can probably tell, I just have a loose outline in my head of what I'm going to say, not a polished script. So, sometimes, I accidentally stumble upon something pithy or dry in humor to say. It's rare, but it happens! haha! And yeah, if you are going to pick this one up, I'd try to see if you can get for less tan full price. It's pretty underwhelming in my opinion.
Black series need to give us an AT-AT driver or TIE fighter helmet. I like the Mandalorian style but it would be nice to see a new shape. Good video as always Paul 👍
I could not agree with you more, Ace! Can you imagine the money they would rake in if they did the AT-AT or TIE Pilot helmet?! And I know they can do complex helmets like this well, as we have seen the Darth Vader helmet from them and most recently, the Captain Rex helmet, which was stunning. Let's get it done, Hasbro! haha! And thank you for the compliment on the video as well, Ace. I appreciate that!
Yes, this may be another Black Series Boba Fett repaint. But it is really great if you want to create a custom Mandalorian bucket. They are great for cosplay, as they are also quite tough.
I agree, Sandra. This is a great candidate for customization. Unless you already have the all-white Mandalorian Prototype. That one is silly AND already ripe for customization with that white base! haha! Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video. I appreciate it!
That is an excellent point, Rich! The color on this one really makes the helmet and helps it stand out from the others for sure! If I hadn't run our of display space in my room, this one would be out in a whole shelf of Mandalorian style helmets. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video!
This is one that I'm definitely not rushing out to buy. Its fine and a bit of colour is always a nice change in Star Wars collectables, but I don't really care about Axe Wolves. I might buy it if it goes on super clearance. We need Paz Visla and Moff Gideons from season 3.
Absolutely spot on, Colette. I agree with you. The rich blue color of this helmet is cool... but not "rush out and get the helmet at full price and display it" cool, that's for sure. I am like you. I would liked to have seen a helmet from a more prominent character. This one is the very definition of "re-paint for profit." Thanks for always stopping by and checking out what I'm doing around here. I really appreciate it!
Nice, Nine! I am genuinely happy to hear that there are at least a few of you out there for sure that like this one a lot! Though you do make a good point. There were much more iconic characters in the series they could have concentrated on. Congrats on the new helmet purchase! Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video as well. I appreciate it!
I got mine today, was looking for a good deal since it came out. I guess I have a large head because i can't manage to put the helmet on without removing the head rig entirely. I went looking on the webs if there was a fix and found your video.Way nicer fit. I see yours in the video also a bit loose :). I'm happy I got it, I only have this one and Bo Katan (which fits perfectly) and that is enough for me. I got tons of other Boba stuff anyway :)
Hey, ChipsNFish! Yeah, if you're into this helmet, it's a good grab at reduced rate. Because, as you can see, it's a straight repaint without any re-tooling. And it seems you and I have the same problem. I have size 8 head and very few helmets fit me. These Black Series helmets are no exception. I too have to remove the rig inside for it to fit. To compensate,, there are a number of places you can buy stick-in or velcro-in padding so you can adjust the fit of the helmet so it will go on your head, but is snug. In the video, I just have it on my head loose with no webbing and no padding since I'm just going to put it back in the box and display it later. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video!
I wouldn't mind picking this one up, but tbh, I don't care too much for the stripe around the top portion of the helmet, but the color is nice and so is the weathering, and scratches, especially around the front of the helmet. Nice review, Paul.. I'll wait to see if this one drops in price before I purchase it, though
I think that's a fair assessment, Cirespeed. The blue on this one is rich and nice to look at it, and is definitely the defining feature of the helmet. And I, like you, am not really excited about that circle around the crown of the helmet either. Definitely one to wait for a sale to pick up in my opinion. And thank you for the kind words about the review. I hope it helped.
I wonder if we’ll see a constant repaint of phase 2 clone helmets (which I wouldn’t hate), but seeing Rex coming out, which is unique, makes me excited
I think that is a VERY safe bet to make, Tom. To date, as you are aware no doubt, we only got that "Ahsoka Clone" repaint. I'd bet good money we get at least two more. I'm guessing the 501st blue for sure and probably a Kenobi 212th yellow/orange or a Windu purple. And yeah, I'm with you! I can't wait to get my hands on that Commander Cody helmet to see how they did. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video!
@@PaulsCollectibles so many options for repaints. 501st, 212th, Windus battalion, commander Gree, coruscant guard. Captain Rex, Commander Cody and maybe Commander Wolffe could offer really good modifications.
Thanks, Matt. And yeah, between this and all "The Mandalorian" action figure re-dos, they have definitely gotten there worth from a couple moulds for sure. haha! At least the rich blue color of this one is easy on the eyes. Thanks for checking out another video!
It's a great looking helmet, from a great series, trouble is once I got my hands on the BS Boba, I stopped there, other more deserving helmmets need my cash more, great review as usual
Hey, Simon! Thanks for chiming in on one of these Black Series videos. You make an excellent point. Once you have the Boba Fett, the Mandalorian, and the Bo Katan, you pretty much have all the Black Series Mandalorian helmet molds. The repaints are nice, and I do enjoy the rich colors they are using, but if pressed, I could do without them. As a matter of fact, except for the aforementioned helmets, the rest of my Mandalorian Black Series helmets have been packed away to make room for much more deserving helmets to be in the display case. I appreciate you always, stopping by, sir. Thanks again!
Thanks for giving everyone a look at this helmet, it is a pass for me but not a bad helmet at all. However for the price of these black series helmets you cant go wrong. hope all is well and have a good week.
Hey, Ryan! Thanks and yeah, I'm ordering these out of reflex at this point so I ended p with it. It's really not all that exciting for sure. Hopefully I'll have a much larger display room at the final house and will be able to set out all these extra helmets. For now, this one is going back in the box and into storage. It's always good to see you and I hope things are going well for you as well!
Absolutely, Doug! I'd love to seem them take a stab at that Imperial guard helmet. Heck, I still think there are many helmets from the OT they are missing out on doing that people would LOVE to have. We shall see if they ever get there. Thanks for checking out another video, Doug! I appreciate it!
@@PaulsCollectibles exactly, I have the complete Star Wars helmet collection by De agostini, (small helmets) and there’s 80, and that was before the Disney TV shows. There’s so many to choose from that are much better. Keep up the great work
Right, MdNsR?! Can you imagine the volume they would move if they came out with one of those helmets. They could even tack more onto the standard price and I think it would still sell like crazy! Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video!
Wow! That's even before my time collecting them, PJ. The first one I picked up was $79 if I remember correctly. Thanks for stopping by and checking the video out!
The name of that purplish colored one you called the (night wolves). you were thinking of night owls. but that helmet was death watch. axe woves helmet is a night owl helmet. just like katan and reves helmets all three reves woves and the night owls leader katan, are the last surviving members of the night owls.
Yeah, Zachary, it was hilarious. I got to that part of the video and my brain just froze up! haha! Some times that happens, and I'm like, "what did I just say?" I leave in those little moments instead of editing them out most of the time just to give my videos a little character. Thanks for stopping by and checking it out!
Yeah, isn't that hilarious?! Except for Din Djarin and Bo Katan, you can see the "Boba Dent" in the interior of EVERY OTHER Mandalorian style helmet I have! haha! Thankfully they at least kept it off the exterior!
Why the lies though? He did have a name from the beginning and Sackoff said he was away on a mission for her, not that he was dead. Maybe the character isn't likeable to you but many fans were asking for his Black Series and Vintage collection figures for a long time to complete the Night Owls.
Pretty much a hard pass for me. Very little effort put into this by Hasbro and I certainly wouldn't pay full retail at release for it. At the end of the day Axe Woves is just not an iconic enough character for me to want this. The Rex helmet? I was all over it at preorder, but this ......meh!!!! It would be great to see some of the more Iconic helmets made, but that would involve new moulds and investment in tooling wouldn't it Hasbro!!!!!🤔
You nailed it exactly, Paul! This is the very definition of "the least effort for profit" for sure. And I too am VERY excited about the Rex helmet as well. Can't wait to get that one in hand! And there were so many characters to choose from in The Mandalorian, it's clear Hasbro took the path of least resistance here. If only they DID watch my channel and read the comments here, right Paul?! haha!
Thanks, Gary. And yup. This one is definitely not a "must have." The rich blue color is nice, but overall, this one is not different enough from the other Mando helmets we've gotten to justify vacating some display space to show it off. Thanks for stopping again as always!
Direct, to the point, and spot on, Michael. No doubt a Hasbro quick turn for profit. The deep blue color of this one is pretty, but it's not enough to make this one a top tier contender. Thanks for always checking in, sir. I appreciate it!
Just got this and placed it next to my Bo-Katan helmet - what a set 😍
This is the way

@@PaulsCollectibles absolutely...if you have any influence over Hasbro...use the force or something.
Keep em coming 👍💯

how much head circumference is gonna fit inside the helmet?
For this one, Lawrence, like many of the Hasbro Helmets, if you remove the interior head rig, it will fit a size 8 head comfortably.
