Seems like a lot of the feedback on FISD is positive. Like the Kylo version it will more than likely require some modification.

I was 14 years old again when I saw it at the Toys R Us "Rogue One" midnight toy release. I troop as a TIE Pilot, and can't afford multiple sets of SW Armor. This is perfect for someone that wants a full size helmet but doesn't want to pay $150.00 or more for a vac-formed helmet kit. It sure beats heck out of my vintage Don Post Vader helmet! How it will be received by the 501st costuming community remains to be seen - it's nicer than the screen used helmets in several areas, but that's the very problem in a nutshell. I'd hate to have to Bondo over those pretty helmet vents just so they can be replaced by decal stripes. Stay tuned to see what happens. I'm "TIE 'til I die" so I'm just fine with it!

My thought on it...it's a Rogue One helmet that Hasbro makes. I don't think it would be passable for OT-style armor. Unless you have Rogue One armor (which I don't think is being made yet) it won't work.

It does, however, look nice for a display piece in your home or for a 501st table display. It is a good price but overall I personally don't think it's ready to pair with our armor kits just yet. That's my two cents on it
