Obviously, he doesn’t have double jointed elbows. However, what would you say if I told you he barely has a single jointed elbow? I bet you’d punch your mom right in her metaphysical face. Well… you’d better ask your mom to leave the room, because brothers and sisters, I am here to tell you: He barely has a single jointed elbow. Just like the Kylo Ren helmet, the Shadow Trooper one has a voice changer. It distorts your voice to sound like that of the Shadow Troopers. Additionally, if you prefer an even more realistic experience, the helmet plays lines from the movie. This baton includes sounds and light effects. In addition to these, it also includes a vibrating motor to give you the feel of the weapon. The baton includes self-releasing flip-out prongs to give you the full, realistic effect. With all of the stormtrooper and Boba Fett helmets, there is of course one designed after the famous Mandalorian as well. With a stuffed Baby Yoda and this helmet, you can perfectly replicate his costume from the movies.

The silver beskar helmet shines just like Mando’s in the Disney+ series. It is adjustable and padded to make for a comfortable fit. The right side of the helmet allows for a tactical light to be removed whenever you desire. If you flip the helmet upside down, it glows red inside. Asajj Ventress has a very unique hilt because it is curved, while the majority of hilts are straight. Her blade glows a slightly brighter red than the other Sith sabers in this collection. Hasbro has released multiple versions of Darth Vader’s lightsaber. The most recent version is one of their Elite sabers. It is based on his saber seen in the Kenobi series. Always one to stand out, Mace Windu’s lightsaber is no different than the Jedi himself. Known for his incredible lightsaber skills, his sword emits a purple blade. Below we will go through each of the helmets released since their launch in 2015. We will go into the details, prices, and looks of each. 1. Kylo Ren HelmetWe all needed the lightsaber that Obi-Wan used in The Phantom Menace. The blade is a slightly lighter blue than the other blue sabers in the series. The sounds are voice-activated. All you have to say is “hey BB-8,” and you’ll be in the heat of the battle with X-Wings flying by and BB-8 responding to your instructions. You’ll feel as though you are flying a ship yourself. Before creating a green lightsaber, Luke owned a blue one. This is a favorite collector’s item, as many choose to buy it for display. The blue blade matches the shade shown in the movie perfectly.

Known for his unique dueling style, Emperor Palpatine’s lightsaber is also unique. His silver and bronze hilt emits a red blade, mirroring his bled Kyber crystal included within. Just like the Ahsoka lightsaber, his Kyber crystal can be removed for display. With blaster deflection and wall-slicing effects, the sounds make you feel as though you have embodied his character as well. A surprise introduction in The Mandalorian, Clone Wars, and Rebels, the Darksaber is the only lightsaber wielded by someone other than the Jedi and Sith.The figures themselves are essentially the same,” Evans says. “We’re using the same molds and using the same kind of tooling.” But the newer paint application process adds depth and nuance to facial features, bringing new life to the older figures. “Yoda in particular is a perfect example of where Photo Real really comes into play,” Evans says, noting the figure is his personal favorite from the new line. “I wasn’t satisfied with the deco previously. It’s Yoda! You have to deliver Yoda really well…. When you look at the puppet or the CG character, there’s a lot more soul in those eyes. I think with Photo Real we can take those images and apply them directly onto the sculpt and therefore give a much more sophisticated palette for the eyes, which as everyone knows are the windows to the soul. For Yoda, that’s really, really important.”

When the outer mask is removed it makes a hissing sound. Whereas when it is sealed, it makes a thunk. The helmet also makes Darth Vader’s iconic breathing sounds. The helmet itself has all of the features of the plain white version. A great looking helmet for the collection! Another iconic lightsaber is Darth Maul’s. Double-bladed and deadly, this replica is double-bladed as well. Since the blades are removable, you can choose to use them with one or two blades showing. Schneider favors Anakin Skywalker, complete with two interchangeable heads to symbolize the moment he ceases to be Luke’s father and becomes an instrument of evil. “Obviously we’ve all been fans of Star Wars, just seeing how Joseph Campbell’s hero’s journey was really Anakin’s’ journey throughout all six movies. So just the fact that it is Anakin’s story and that figure is really that pivotal moment….I think just that pivotal moment of his fall, that just gives me shivers.”Due to Yoda’s small size, his lightsaber was smaller in the movies. It is also smaller with this replica. Even though it is shorter than the other lightsabers, it still has the same quality. Bossk as a character fascinated me ever since I ended up with the original Empire 1:18 figure. I needed to know this dude’s story. He was a lizard, right? But, like in a flight suit. What the wha? The flight suit looked similar to the pilot outfit Luke wore (also a release in this wave), a look I really liked. I am extremely thankful that Bossk and IG88 were part of that first wave. I am also extremely thankful for one of the few instances of self-control I’ve exercised in this hobby. I fought hard to not spend that cash on those figures on the aftermarket, but man I wanted a reputable bounty hunter shelf. Fortunately, I saw enough people online say how horrible they were articulation wise (and scale wise for murder-bot) and I held off. I am confident that this is the universe rewarding me. Just like the Poe Dameron helmet, Luke’s helmet doesn’t cover the entire face. It has attachable Velcro padding for the inside and a chin strap to make it a comfortable fit.
