Exclusive Studio Scale Star Corps Trooper Helmet Replica


The fourth in the stunning series of Master Replicas Clone Trooper helmets!
The Star Corps Trooper Helmet, identified by the signature yellow stripe running down the helmet's middle, has been produced in the most limited quantity of all the clone trooper helmet replicas by Master Replicas. Earlier versions had edition sizes of 750 worldwide. This Shop exclusive has been limited to only 600 worldwide, making it the rarest yet in the clone trooper prop replica army.
Fans will recall that the Star Corps Troopers, let by Commander Bly, aided Aayla Secura on the planet Felucia before killing the unsuspecting Jedi leader in cold blood at the behest of Darth Sidious. It is one of the most memorable scenes from Revenge of the Sith.
As with the previous editions, the Star Corps Trooper helmet comes with a custom display, numbered plaque, and certificate of authenticity. It is padded and wearable with lenses formed from a see-through, tinted, plastic sheet.
The exclusive Star Corps edition is likely to be pulled from the ranks quickly, so make sure to get yours today!

History:
Master Replicas surprised the collecting world with their announcement last year that they would be producing high-end replicas of various helmets and costumes from the Star Wars universe.
Their premiere pieces in this line are a trio of Clonetrooper helmets as seen in Episode III. First up is the "standard" white trooper helmet. Next, the helmets of the red-decorated "Shocktroopers", who serve as the Emperor's personal guard have been recreated in exact detail as a direct-only item through their website.
The third are the blue-striped helmets of the "Special Ops" troopers, who specifically accompany Anakin on his mission to the Jedi temple, have also been recreated by MR as a retailer exclusive. And finally, the newest helmet is the yellow-striped helmet of the Star Corps troops led by
Commander Bly on Felucia, produced exclusively for customers of StarWarsShop.com. Each helmet is constructed in durable fiberglas, and is fully padded and lined and features tinted, clear plastic lenses. The replicas were all reproduced directly from the original ILM CGI files and Lucasfilm reference photos. Each helmet includes a special display stand and numbered plaque.
