キタ━━━━(゚∀゚)━━━━ッ!!!!!

キタ━━━━(゚∀゚)━━━━━━━━ッ!!!!!
イギリスのシェパートンスタジオから注文したストームトルーパーヘルメットが来た!先週の火曜日に注文して、昨日とどいた。ちょうど一週間。シェパートンは注文した日に発送して、日本に届いたのは土曜日。数日税関で止まっていた。税は2700円と悪くなかった。
それでは中身を見てみましょう。これはBattle Specの箱だ。フィギュアは別売り。

箱は2重になっていて、十分な緩衝材に包まれた。

待望のBattle Specヘルメットだ。0.6KGととても軽い。一方AFXは1.6KG。AFXをかぶるときに頭が痛くなったわけだ。

黒いBROWは思ったより低いですが、それは自分で修正できそうです。

青いTUBEはなかなかかっこいい。

あごの部分はちょっと残念。付けた人は鋭いなにかを使ったのようだ。

Battle Specの中を除いた様子。AFXと比べ、中な何もない。

FROWNのところにはAFXのようにエキスパンドがないので、これはなんとかしなきゃ。

FROWN(口のところ)にはちょっとがっかり。灰色のシールが白いところをちゃんと覆ていない。

もっとショッキングなのはレンズの部分だ。なんだか超柔らかい緑色のアクリルが使用されている。ショックショック。でもオリジナルヘルメットには同じ素材が使われていたらしい。

比較時間だ。左には新しいBattle Spec。右にはAFX。瑞希ちゃんにはBattle Specのほうが気に入っていると言っている。

Battle SpecとAFX比べ。AFXの後ろ部分が四角いすぎでTUBEの部分がでっかい。

Battle SpecとAFXのくらべ。

Battle SpecとAFXとこのように比べると、一目瞭然ですね。AFXはとにかくでかすぎる!

んで、AFXのなかはどうなっている?バラス前に写真を撮っておこう。後ろについているファンはUSELESS。全然使えねぇ。

FROWNにはちゃんとエキスパンドが付いている。
FROWNの下の黒い物体はボイスチェンジャーのマイク。

中には使えないものばっかりが入っている。

AFXのあごの部分。でかすぎる。

今気づいたけど、Battle Specを太陽に当てると、なんだかしわが見える。当時のキャストを使っているためなのかな(古いから?)。
シェパートン バトル スペック (click to enlarge)
東急ハンズにヘルメット改造グッズを仕入れた。アクリル版、エキスパンド、ストラップですね。

いろいろともんくはあったものの、Battle Specを買う価値はあったと思う。オリジナルのキャスト使用しているし、軽いし、注文した日に発送してもらったし。一方AFXはでっかいし、重いし、本物に似ていない。シェパートンさんはアーマーも売っているので、それもオリジナルキャストを使用している。ちょっと欲しいですね。。。
Battle Specは62000円だった。欲しい方はシェパートンに連絡してください。

I think if you tell her in Hawaii, it'll go easier.

I think the Hawaii idea is good.  Make sure to do it while snorkling, and when the suit arrives and your wife is surprise, just state "Didn't you hear me while we were snorkling?"

hey Danny,
Now that you have two helmets, maybe you and the missus can both go stormtrooping together. Hey, in fact that will be a good excuse to get another suit from SPD! =)

Hey Danny! I know this is quite out of the topic, but this would be my first post on your site, have been watching it for quite some time now and I want to express my appreciation to you for bringing us such up to date information on Gundams! I was wondering if you could direct me to a good site to buy a PG Strike and Sky Grasper from. I am really keen to start on one. Thanks Danny!

Cool picturews (which is Ancient Californian for "pictures"). My neck aches just looking at the AFX. Now if only I could get my hands on the Imperial Pilot gear.

Hey Ronald.  This eBay store is most affordable I have come across.  Good prices and reasonable shipping.  They stock most models too.

Hey. Great site! Just wanted to mention that the "error" you mentioned about the cutout for the eye is a movie-accurate error. The stunt helmets used in ANH had the same flaw. So it's an accurate flaw. ;)

The helmets look really sweet! I think the next get up you should get is a Boba Fett suit Danny. 
Oh yeah now that you have an extra helmet you could ask your wife to help be your stormtrooper buddy as you take over Akiharabara =)

Cheers

having seen the comparison, i do agree about the front tubing being so big and all. but look on the bright side, it can be used for extra food storage, say a bottle of sake and moji for cold winter days. besides, you could have a tap at the end of the mouth to deliver hot sake and save people stuck in avalanches just like those cute st. bernard dogs! awwww.....

I had the same helmet + Shepperton Armor..IT'S AMAZING!

Wish they'll produce a "stunt" armor too as I don't feel too comfortable trooping in my $1500 armor :gulp

Enjoy your armor and we want t see you in Celebration IV in 2007!

Hey Danny, Great helmet layout. I wrote a bit much in your guest book section about my dillema with buying a helmet from shepperton or AFX. If you check out your guest book section, could you maybe give me a holler back? Thanks.
I'm kinda stumped at this point.
Thanks again

i'm reading all the stormtrooper posts. ^^;
during my research on the net, most people don't recommend the FX helmet, it's too big, heavy and ugly.
