They seem to be of polystone, but can't see it.
What do you think?

Second, i think they look pretty good.

Third, do i want them. Don't think so already have the 1:1 of MR.

Not sure what material's been used to fabricate these, but the paint looks a little heavily applied.
Though that could be an effect of the display lights.

The Boba helmet looks to have a real visor, so perhaps they are made from plastic/ABS.

What the difference with the beautifful MR scaled helmet line ?

I mean those GG helmet was already made by MR, so what the + value ?

I prefer the MR look like by far!

Ok, so I'm confused. Are these made by Gentle Giant or Matster Replica? I like the MR scaled helmets. Is GG going to come out with their own line of these?

These are Gentle Gaint's line of 1:2 scale Helmets.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

These I may consider down the line although I'm not liking the paint on the Clone visors..perhaps it's just on the protos.

Thumbs up Go New Helmets from Gentle Giant

Come one, you know these will be the same as the Master Replica one, just like Riddell sold the molds to MR when they took over the line. I'm sure the visors will be replace with clear tinted ones. The paint jobs will be cleaned up as well. I really like the MR line of .45 scale helmets. These should be a nice complement. They need to add to the line before I will pick these up, if they are the same. See the Riddell Tie Fighter Pilot Helmet

They could make a Cmd Cody Helmet, and even a AT AT Helmet. Heck since we are on dreaming up the new helmets. GG needs to make all the different clones. Not just in paint, but in style.

Just to double check...the Riddell / MR scaled helmets were .45 scale, correct?
