Star Wars Replica Shadow Stormtrooper Helmet

More Star Wars geekery for you. This Replica helmet from Master Replicas isn't actually available, but the auction here is for a pre-sale order. Only 500 are being made.



Stormtroopers are usually in a white livery. The reason for the black as seller Scrapbookingbutterfly explains is that:

For much of the Galactic Civil War, a mysterious agent of the evil Sith Lord Emperor Palpatine, code-named “Blackhole,” carefully gathered intelligence data for the Galactic Empire. Blackhole had an impressive arsenal of weapons available to him, including a Star Destroyer, the signature vessel of the Imperial Starfleet. The Stormtroopers under Blackhole’s command were known as Shadow Stormtroopers. Their armor was cast in black stygian-triprismatic polymer which had increased sensor-stealth capabilities, allowing them to move about the galaxy undetected.


With a starting bid of $649.00 you would be forgiven for thinking that the helmet really is made of black stygian-triprismatic polymer, but it's probably made of plastic. It is wearable though, with a padded lining. Pretty cool, but at that price only for serious SW geeks. [link]

Sunshine Space Suit Prop

ever wanted to own a piece of movie history. well now you can.
this really cool suit is made to protect Captain Kaneda of the Icarus II from the freezing temperatures of space.

Seller Propstore_auction is selling a few items from the movie. The designers were influenced by many things including samurai armour and even Kenny from South Park! Warning:This is a movie prop only. Don't use it on your spacewalks. :)
If you want toget a new suit bid here.

If you can't afford the large suit (or don't have space in your wardrobe) you could always bid on this little hand painted maquette. it is so cute, and one of a limited edition of 40.
