infairness to hasbro black series, that one is pretty good and based on rogue one sculpt. price is right and looks great on a display stand. yeah the voice changer is a mess but display wise, it's great.

This bust i think is expensive at 950$. and i'm worried that this may get same treatment with the recent Full plastic/PVC fiasco.
Might as well get a full kit at anovos.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Geez if this is $950 I hate to see how much the Boba Fett bust will cost

The armor will be fiber glass and the base will be heavy resin/polystone.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

The MR CE/EFX PCR plastic helmet, with its own symmetrical and seam problems, looks more accurate than this thing. You could get a custom bust, and the torso armor, shoulder bells and helmet from RS Prop Masters and have a heck of a display piece.

Since I can't find the Master Replicas Stormtrooper Limited Edition Helmet with the stand for a decent price I'll just get this one.

Why would anyone guy this at that price. Ten sconds on RPF and you can find a more accurate version at more than half the price.

Ridiculous.

Agreed. But for some seems to be easier this way. They lack the patience and interest to make a simple search regarding the equivalent unlicensed props. They are also attracted by the "licensed" label and edition number, thinking this will bring more money later if ever thinking of selling the product.

Some custom/fan made props can also have an edition number, they can also go up in value just like licensed stuff, and most of the times unlicensed is more accurate than licensed. And if someone doesn't want something wonky with screen used type warts and dings, they can also choose the more idealized stuff.

I am not sure how any star wars fan could be anything but disappointed with this...and I'm not talking about the price.
