After the rerelease of the black series Shadow Trooper helmet, I decided to reach out to New Image Prop Replicas and they agreed to produce a black Biker Scout helmet. I’m super excited to get this one in my collection…Ohhh Yeahhh!!! 👍🏽
Oh, that's awesome, Gary! I can't wait to see or hear how it comes out. I have been following NIPR for quite some time and Chris and Joanne put out some just gorgeous product! I know you're gonna love it. When I finally decide I need a Snowtrooper helmet, I'm going to them for sure!
Thank you for the “helmet News” Paul, great that Hasbro are doing this, I have most of these already but great for anyone who missed out. The Vader helmet is great but the dome is slightly undersized but still great 👍
There he is! What's going on Mr. Reynolds?! Thanks for stopping by and checking this one out. And yeah, these started out with me talking about the re-releases and showing off my copy of that helmet so people could get a look at what they'd be getting, and blossomed into "let's talk about a lot of the good stuff out there!" haha! It's great to see you again. Side note: are you on X (Twitter) still. I sent you a message over there about a week ago but never heard back. Regardless, I hope things a re going well!
Yes Sir! A Great time to be a helmet collector indeed! I like that Build a Bucket concept. Remind me, Paul, who made your Shore Trooper Helmet? It looks fantastic!
You are correct, SteveO! And I am now at a point where many of my helmets are in storage as I have run out of display space. I frequently rotate them around just so they all can see the light of day. haha! And, coincidentally, my Shoretrooper helmet came from Anovos (Denuo Novo.) And, they are also up fro pre-order again. Here's the link: www.denuonovo.com/products/star-wars-rogue-one-shoretrooper-helmet
Even though I'm not a helmet collector, I still enjoy soaking up your knowledge. If I were to buy just one, it would probably be the classic Stormtrooper. Nice one Paul 👍
Aw, thanks, Dave. You flatter me. I appreciate that. I don't think I know that much, but I do believe I have made enough mistakes in collecting helmets that maybe I can help others avoid those. haha! I expect that if you do pick up your first and only helmet, we'll get to see it in another of your stunning videos. It's always good to see you around here, sir. Thanks!
Great to see re-releases. Anovos made the Patrol Trooper helmet years ago, I miss out. But I have pre ordered one from Denuo Novo. Love the look of this helmet. By the way Paul, if you are looking for a New Hope Darth Vader helmet, EFX has re-released their pcr version. It's really nice Imo.
I agree, Trevor. Some of these Black Series helmets were pretty pricey on the secondary market. Now others who missed them can grab one up. And I somehow missed or forgot Anovos did a Patrol Trooper helmet. Thanks for the info on that. If I didn't have my custom already, I would definitely grab one. And I was never a huge fan of the Darth Vader helmet anyway, so I don't think I'll ever end up with one. I do appreciate the heads up though, sir. I do need a good quality Black Series or Denuo Novo Hovertank/Turbotank Driver helmet from Rogue One. That would be awesome! Thanks for stopping by, checking out the video, and offering all the great info!
Right, Matt!? haha! At this point I'm just hoping they re-release the red-accented Imperial Shocktrooper helmet. I missed that one the first go around and it's pricey on the secondary market. Thanks for checking out another video, sir!
I sure hope to see a Boushh and Tie pilot Black Series helmet in the future. Also wouldn't mind a Lando in disguise helmet. What about you, Paul? Any dream helmets you'd like to see in the Black Series?
Oh, those are good picks, Edmo. For me? I'd like to see a Hovertank/Turbotank Driver helmet from Rogue One in the Black Series. After seeing the Scout Trooper, I know they could do that one justice. Thanks for checking out another of my videos also, sir!
Excellent question, Melissa. I've been following them for years now, and they have grown from a small, niche shop into a pretty large retailer. I have never purchased a helmet from them, however, because they seem to focus on clone helmets, and some pretty obscure ones at times. The pictures of their products I have seen do look fantastic, though. In addition, I have several of my fellow collectors who have purchased from them and they had nothing but good things to say about them. If you are going for 501st approval, DEFINITELY jump on their message boards and ask about the helmet and approvability. It would be a shame to spend all that money on what ends up being just a really cool display piece if you're going for a 501st level costume. And finally, make sure you ask SamoilovArt lots of questions when you get close to purchasing so you know what you're getting. They are in Russia, but surprisingly still able to deliver products during the war. As a matter of fact, it appears they may have even moved operations to another part of Europe, but I'm not sure. Regardless, I hope your helmet hunt goes well and if you purchase from them, it's a great experience!
Well, that sucks, Doug! I had no idea these re-issues were not being offered in the UK. Retailers like Star Action figures and the like aren't getting any in?
@@PaulsCollectibles not so far and I hope that changes, only way to get a Luke or Kylo is to pay silly money on ebay. Keep up the great work, love your videos.
I agree about the BS Vader, it's highly stylised, not for me either, after my BS scout trooper it's a Snowtrooper to finish of my collection. Great vid as always Paul 👍 🎬
Thanks, Simon! And that's a great way to describe that Vader helmet: "stylised." It just doesn't sit right with me. And I was going to finish my helmet collection some time ago, but I just can't help myself and keep picking them up. At some point I see a helmet sale in my future. haha! Thanks as always for stopping by and checking out another of my videos!
That is an excellent point, sir. They just keep going up in price. When I first started, you could pick them up for less that $80. Now they are quickly approaching $150. Thanks for stopping by as always, Gforce. I appreciate ya!

Another wonderful video. Keep up the great work Paul!
There's my "fellow whiskey drinker!" Thank you for the kind words and for stopping by to check another video out. I appreciate it!
I'm happy... have some pre ordered!
Nice, Rodliz! good to hear. Thanks for checking out the video and happy hunting for the helmets out there!

What are your thoughts on SamoilovArt? Iv only ever heard good reviews on their helmets and they seem so be 501st approvable

Just wish we could get the reissues in the uk, unfair 😢

I don't consider anything that will be released in over 6 months as available now

Probably won't find BS helmets cheaper than right now
