Most people think of bright olive green when they think of boba but when you watch empire strikes back the black series helmet is accurate. On film he looks like a shade of greenish grey. That is why the 70s toys had painted their boba figures with just grey heads.
I definitely think of him as olive when I think of him in ESB and even more in RoTJ. Watching the most recent Boba Fett documentary I think Joe Johnston talks briefly about the colors. Without looking at the original prop it’s sort of hard to say I guess. That being said, my AT-AT pilot helmet is light gray as is accurate, not white as they appeared on film in ESB.
The reforged helmet coming out isn’t the Book Of Boba Fett, it’s still based off of The Mandalorian show when he repainted his armor. The Book of Boba Fett helmet has a big scratch down the right side over the eye so I’ve been torn on if I want to buy the reforged version or wait to see if they make another based off his show because The Book Of Boba Fett helmet looks better with the additional scratches added to it.
That is a tough call. When I said BoBF, I was thinking the reforged version, and as it appeared at the end of S2 when ToBF was announced. I think releasing yet another version, so similar, with just a slightly different scratch may be even too far for Hasbro. I would probably buy one of the reforged ones and then either DIY the paint to match what you like better OR if a new version comes out, sell your reforged one and probably make all your money back on it.
Thank you Victoria! The secret helmet stands are... paper towel holders! I find them often at TJ Maxx and Marshals for about $6-$8, but they can also be found on amazon for about $11. Finding ones without branding or extra little holder pegs is the difficult part, but they aren't too hard to find.
@@StarWarsCollected I was thinking of buying an extra to customize. I might just wait it out though. Hasbro could release this helm in every color known to man, and they’d all make bank.
Hey Luis! The great thing is... they are just stainless steel paper towel holders. I pick them up for about $6-$8 at places like Marshalls/TJ Maxx/Home Goods and they can also be found for about $10-$12 on Amazon most of the time. Solid bases and presentation!
You’re right, It’s not. While it’s pictured here with the others I was just grouping all my black series Mandalorian helmets together, but when I mentioned the recycling, I was referring to the 3 that we have currently (boba, proto, Death watch) and the reforged Boba. Thanks for watching!!!
Efx pretty pricey helmets?? Are they still available? Haven’t purchased a black series mando helmet yet… def want one now 😎 Bobas armor was his dad’s correct? The dent in the helmet came when Jango was trampled in episode 2 ? Wasn’t sure Good stuff!! 😎
Pretty pricey but pretty good! I’m not sure if you can order right from EFX right now, but there are a number of vendors that sell their products and you could check out eBay too for new and used options. Black series does a great job for the price though! Boba’s armor would seem to be his dads now, but the helmet dent is more likely to have come from a dual with Cad Bane (only shown in Clone Wars cinematic) where they both shot each other in the head.
They are actually aluminum paper towel holders. I get them at Marshall’s or TJ Maxx for about $6. Inventory goes in waves there typically. You can also pick them up off of Amazon for about $12.
I think it would do well. From what I understand, it does have a number of changes to it from BF's helmet... but that doesn't mean they have to be 100% accurate to sell it to the masses. Maybe there will be a Jango flash back in BoBF and that will end up being our Black Series Helmet to release with that series!
@@VE_Mandalorian yeah… they do some nice detailing but I know some people have issues with the wearable structure. Mine sit on shelves or stands so it doesn’t matter much to me, but I want people to be happy with them!
@@VE_Mandalorian Can be very very easily removed, no worries! It won’t fit my head with the straps. if you grab the part where it attaches to the inside (on the left and right sides of the helmet) and pull outwards and down to take it out of the helmet. It might need some oomph, but it can come out and be placed back in with ease.
Wow another awesome fantastic video on star wars helmets and figures collections 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Mark! Plenty more to come!

Nice review of this Mando helmet. I started laughing when you called out the “boing”. Thanks for dropping this review very useful before buying.
Thank you! It struck me as hilarious, I couldn't help it!
This one came out of the blue, def gonna cop
Nice! Reforged Boba Fett helmet is on the horizon too in case you need a set!
Looks like a nice helmet. The helmets in the Mandalorian look more blue to me.
Hard to say, those flashback scenes are rather dim/hazy isn't it?

Nice showcase. What are the stands you use for your helmets and where can you get them?

The scratch is on mine too lol good to know it’s normal
Scratch bros!
I bought the helmet and love it. Seeing that base, unpainted color, I can’t help but think hasbro is going to release a Kenner retro Fett helmet.
That’d be fun! That’s one I hadn’t thought of, but Hot Toys did that so perhaps!
@@StarWarsCollected I was thinking of buying an extra to customize. I might just wait it out though. Hasbro could release this helm in every color known to man, and they’d all make bank.
@@wewentblues I actually have two of the prototype, one to customize in the future.
POV: me just waiting for him to put the danm thing on
hahaha, I never do, but I guess I should for those who wear them... casually?
Is it the same exact size as the boba fett helmet because the din djarin one fits me better (I have both) but I don’t want to get this if its too big
It is!
Just wondering what helmet stands you have?

I don't think the din helmet is a recycled boba sculpt, and I'm so glad they didn't lazy repaint it like they did the prototype
You’re right, It’s not. While it’s pictured here with the others I was just grouping all my black series Mandalorian helmets together, but when I mentioned the recycling, I was referring to the 3 that we have currently (boba, proto, Death watch) and the reforged Boba. Thanks for watching!!!
I think a fully repainted boba fett helmet is better especially without the weathering look....
I really wish they had put the Jaig eyes from the concept drawings on it. Would have made the repainted Boba really pop.
@@StarWarsCollected you still can and make your own lol
@@frankcastle3827 you’re not wrong!
Efx pretty pricey helmets?? Are they still available?
Haven’t purchased a black series mando helmet yet… def want one now 😎
Bobas armor was his dad’s correct? The dent in the helmet came when Jango was trampled in episode 2 ? Wasn’t sure

Awesome thanks 🙏🏼
where do you find al the clone trooper helmets?
awesome video!
Thank you Anselmo! Various sources I'm afraid. Ebay, Etsy, Facebook, 3D printed by others, 3D printed by myself, raw casts purchased and finished.
@@StarWarsCollected ah that explains it thanks!
which one should I buy
The ESB Boba Fett Helmet, and the Mandalorian Helmets are probably the two biggest standouts if I had to just pick a couple of them.
Where do you buy your helmet stand?
They are actually aluminum paper towel holders. I get them at Marshall’s or TJ Maxx for about $6. Inventory goes in waves there typically. You can also pick them up off of Amazon for about $12.
Still impatiently waiting for a Black Series Jango helmet…
I think it would do well. From what I understand, it does have a number of changes to it from BF's helmet... but that doesn't mean they have to be 100% accurate to sell it to the masses. Maybe there will be a Jango flash back in BoBF and that will end up being our Black Series Helmet to release with that series!
BOING!
A boiiiiiing to you too!
The death watch helmet still has the dent inside the helmet btw
Isn’t that weird? Must have cost less to do it that way right?
@@StarWarsCollected I just got mine today and it was one of the first things I noticed. Not happy about the strap inside however.
@@VE_Mandalorian yeah… they do some nice detailing but I know some people have issues with the wearable structure. Mine sit on shelves or stands so it doesn’t matter much to me, but I want people to be happy with them!

If you look inside the death watch helmet where bobas dent would be you can see bulge for it
I'll have to check that out! Thanks for the info!
So just another inaccurate Boba prototype repaint.
Maybe not quite up to EFX or some custom made pieces, but a solid piece for budget collectors.
