Here it is on SS ANH Vader just the metal dome with the SS head sculptView attachment 301992

Can you post a pic of the complete Hasbro BS helmet on the Sideshow body? And maybe a side-by-side with any of the 1/6 Vader helmets - HT or SSC?

I wonder if the rebel commando helmet would fit on a DX07 Luke head (without the hairpiece)?

The RO design seems slightly different to the ROTJ Commando helmet, also my guess is you'd have to cut down either the inner helmet or part of the hairless sculpt.

I haven't figured out how to get the BS helmet off of the display stand neck thing without destroying it yet. I'll probably not do that because I like the helmet on the stand it's a cool little desk ornament. But I think I do prefer the metal helmet on the SS figure. Here's more of the metal helmet Ill try to get some side by sides later vader's tough to photograph : (

Just rock the plastic stand back and forth. It's kinda Hooked on up in the head area
It's easy to put it back on the stand then too. Just kinda hooks back in. As far as the look, ur better off with the original SS mask with a plastic 12" hasbro dome. Just looks better. For me personally the black die cast helmet looks a little smaller and the nose plug looks really enlarged on the mask especially compared to SSC and HT ones

I was thinking more the SSC Hoth Luke head once you've removed it from the Hoth hat.

 

[Deathstalker]

Yep bigger pics but u get the idea. Just turn ur head.. 1st pics is SSC mask and Vader helmet the 2nd is the die cast helmet.

You need tac with either helmet to keep it secure and the plastic one needs the interior ridges shaved down and the die cast one need the screw and plastic fitting on the inside of the helmet taken out.

Thanks for the pics, Death - looks really good, though slightly undersized. It's a nice sculpt by Hasbro.

 

[SkullDuggery]

I agree it's a nice sculpt it looks great sitting on my desk. Better from some angles than others

 

[Darth Fok]

I've got the Vader helmet and a spare SS shoulder armor. Any ideas on how I could display these two? I need a stand that would support both pieces.

I bought the Hasbro Black Titanium Deathtrooper and Commando Helmet set.
I don't own any of the Hasbro Black 1:6 helmets so the other helmets pictured here are all Hot Toys.

As you can assume, the paint on the Black Helmets is a bit poor. The rear and top of the Deathtrooper helmet is metal; the sides, front, and ranger finder are hard plastic. The whole top of the Commando helmet is metal including the cloth portion. the sides, back, and brim are hard plastic. The Rebel Commando helmet does come with a soft plastic chin strap that's not pictured, I found it in the box after I took pictures.
The stands do come off, the Commando helmet comes off easy, the Deathtrooper helmet requires a bit of side to side force to pop it off. If you want to place a head into the Commando helmet, you'll have to do a lot of modification to the head you want to use such as cutting away the ears and hair/back of the head.
I also own the three figure set of Sideshow Rebel Commando troopers but I don't have the helmets available at the moment to take comparison pics.
Here's pics, the Imperial Stormtrooper helmet is from the HT Luke Skywalker in Stormtrooper disguise and the First Order Stormtrooper helmet is from the HT Riot Control Stormtrooper.

Nice write up and pics. Thanks!

No problem it actually looks more like ESB or ROTJ Vader mask with the bigger under chin vent and the lack of a widows peak on the helmet but the red lenses give it that new hope vibe guess its a hybrid or maybe a RO Vader?View attachment 301446

Does the dome come off the black series Vader? If so, how?
