Review on Rogue One: Star Wars Black Edition by Bernard Her

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Looks like a stormtrooper. Can't sound like one?

Based on the Imperial Stormtrooper's helmet from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. No stickers. I would touch up the color a bit as it may fade or not be dark enough. The material is very similar to the plastic used in Nerf guns. You pay more for design than material. used them to test my accuracy when using a helmet. Unless you're aiming at someone's legs, or maybe someone below you (more on that later), helmets don't really make them aim poorly (if the design is accurate). Delivery in 3 pieces (without battery compartment). Very easy to assemble. Just connect them together. Once locked, it is difficult to get loose. It's best to play around with the head adjustment straps before putting all the pieces together. It's easier to adjust the pre-assembly than afterwards, especially if it's expected to be used by just one person most of the time. The belt adjustment is very similar to what you see. Plastic strap with buttons on the back of the baseball cap. Head. No padding except on the nose. Most of the weight of the helmet comes from adjusting the strap. The helmet is not heavy as it is mostly plastic and hollow. Very breathable, plenty of room on the chin of the helmet to allow air to enter. You can only look straight ahead, sideways and up. When you look down, the eyepiece moves up, blocking your view. You can't look down unless you're holding the helmet with your hand on the side. look at the phone; You must use the one-handed holding method or hold the phone directly in front of your face. So basically, unless you have super tight headbands, you're always facing straight ahead or higher up. Batteries are not included. Runs on 3 AAA batteries. There is a battery compartment on the back that needs to be unscrewed with a screwdriver. The stormtrooper's electronic voice works fine. The microphone should be pressed against your lips so that it can pick up sound. For some reason the speakers come out the back. Maybe they're using a surround effect or for some reason they can't style it to be in the front. Your best bet is to replace your voice changer with a third-party device at a $10-$15 store if you want consistency or a more accurate on-screen voice. Overall a very accurate screen in the appearances department. The material and electronic voice used may not be ideal; but saves a lot of money compared to other helmets on the market.

Pros
  • The Imperial Stormtrooper's Electronic Voice Change Helmet with realistic detailing is a premium RPG item that would make a great addition to any Star Wars collection.
Cons
  • Love
