Description
Star Wars A New Hope Stormtrooper Helmet Limited Edition (Master Replicas, 2007). The Star Wars: A New Hope Stormtrooper Helmet Limited Edition (SW-153LE), released by Master Replicas in 2007, is a highly detailed, screen-accurate prop replica that faithfully recreates the iconic helmet worn by Imperial Stormtroopers in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. Developed using Lucasfilm's original digital 3D files, this limited-edition collectible ensures precise proportions, authentic detailing, and the imposing presence of the Empire's elite soldiers. Measuring approximately 14 inches tall, 13 inches wide, and 15 inches deep, the helmet is constructed from high-quality fiberglass, offering a durable yet lightweight build while maintaining the classic asymmetrical design seen in the original film. The glossy off-white finish, black frown mesh detailing, raised aerator vents, and green-tinted visor replicate the battle-worn, hand-crafted aesthetic of the original 1977 props. Subtle imperfections such as slightly irregular panel lines, raised brow trim, and curvature differences stay true to the hand-sculpted nature of the original Stormtrooper helmets, enhancing its screen authenticity. Additional cheek ridge sculpting and vent tube details further reinforce its film-accurate design.The helmet includes an individually numbered metal plaque, numbered 153/2500, along with a certificate of authenticity. Designed primarily as a display piece, it features a custom Master Replicas display stand with a black matte base and an angled support rod for a museum-quality presentation.
More Information: The helmet remains securely housed in Styrofoam casing within the original packaging, which has been opened for inspection. The packaging exhibits handling wear along the edges and corners, with noticeable surface scuffing and scratching throughout. Notably the back right side has come unglued with further scratching and scuffing on the bottom panel. This Master Replicas Stormtrooper Helmet stands as a definitive representation of one of the most recognizable helmets in cinematic history, capturing the imposing presence of the Empire's foot soldiers with unparalleled accuracy and craftsmanship.
