I'm jazzed for this one. Hopefully they'll show it at Comic-Con. I'll find out what I can about when I'm there and post it here.

[candyrocket786]

God I hope the price is within reason. I really want this!!!! :banghead:

[P1X4R]

i hope they make a rocket pack too! um, Jennifer Connelly. oh baby!! she was great in Career Opportunities also. :)

[Ghost]

Wow I didn't know about this, as I don't really stick with MR, but a 1:1 helmet of the Rocketeer would rock! I've always wanted to find a jacket like his. Always been a big fan of the aviator threads of back in the day.

[Boerboel]

um, Jennifer Connelly. oh baby!! she was great in Career Opportunities also. :)
Ding,ding,ding....we have a winner.She was hot in those movies and is still hot.

[Azog]

I'll be after the statue that's coming out, for sure. The helmet? Dunno.

[MiamiLoco]

I hope they make a 1:1 replica of Jennifer Connely :P

[Twoguns-Crowley]

I'm wanting this one. I have planning on getting a kit and having it painted up but this will do nicely. Oh yeah!

actually, i knew about this one. it looks great but i think i'll wait/hope for an MR version. i just feel if i'm not 100% satisfied then i'm SOL because these are custom made.

btw, i believe MR is producing a rocketeer statue by this guy.

cool guy. i spoke to him over the phone. he's got some really cool 1:1 sculpts!

[Gruson]

um, Jennifer Connelly. oh baby!! she was great in Career Opportunities also. :)

I agree...she used to be so hot. I liked her so much better when she had those great breasts. WHY did she reduce those puppies??!?!?!?!?!?

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Yes, Howard is a great guy. I also know him and hooked him up with some DVDs...

[Sniper]

wow nice, but too much........

[Tommy Allison]

Kent Melton did the sculpt of the original helmet for the movie. He did it, and was uncredited because he wasn't affiliated with the propmaster's guild or something.

[P1X4R]

that name sounds familiar. i think he was mentioned on these boards before. did he sculpt a few "The Incredibles" maquettes?

[wizard-comics]

would be cooler if it came with the jet pack......real working jet pack that is

[P1X4R]

yup, i looked at some of our Incredibles maquettes and sure enough it was him! i can't wait for the helmet! i've got mine pre-ordered.

[BFLV]

Awesome Rocketeer helmet, Ed! I ordered one and it's currently in transit. Can't wait!!!

[tripoli]

Its better but...
The finish and attention to the detailing on the weld are much better but the sides ae still squeezed in. From a front view, you should be able to see the side panelling. While MR did better, they did not address one of the chief complaints onthe helmet concerning the dimensions. A great deisplay piece but unfortunately it looks to be about all it can be.

[Alex655321]

That looks great:buttrock:
Thanks for the pics P1X4R:thumbs2:

[P1X4R]

dualedge over at the RPF kindly pointed this out regarding the "squeezed" look.

Will do? But don't you think your pics are enough?

[P1X4R]

i just want to see if there's a difference. i bought mine direct from MR so i would think it's from the latest "batch". it'd be interesting to see if yours had the wider look.

[BFLV]

mine got from the first release ! it was perfect dans i have a real details like a trash in the helmet :buttrock:

[StatueCollector]

:buttrock: :buttrock: after seeing these pics, yes, its a wannahave for me, I will ask my local store to get it for me

[cap70]

Nice pics folks, looks great! But how MR, a "replica" company that is suposed to "research" about it's products didn't notice that it was supposed to be a little wider?

[kaza5555]

Along with the Sideshow Cap Dio, this showed up at my door today.

[P1X4R]

looks good Fred! nice finish on it. looks like the "squeeze" issue wasn't addressed but it's still a really nice helmet.

[kaza5555]

I never noticed the issue regarding the sides, but at first glance, it's definitely a Rocketeer helmet. Love the weathered finish and quality of this product, so I'm one happy customer. I waited a year and a half for this. It's finally in my hands.

Kent Melton did the Rocketeer statue as well as a number of disney classic statues.
