| Thanks to Simon G for this great review of this Revenge
type Cyberman helmet. This guys got a real cool Dr Who helmet collection and
I'll be featuring more of this later in other sections of this site. |
|
|
| This is a fully licensed and official BBC Dr Who
collectable, produced by “This Planet Earth”, Simon purchased this
back in 2002 for approx £300 (US $550). Many with know This Planet Earth
(aka TPE) for their licensed full size Daleks. However, unlike their Daleks
it does not come with any form of certificate or markings on the helmet
itself to endorse its authenticity - unusual for a licensed
product. |
|
|
| The helmet was originally produced as the standard
silver “Revenge” variant, but Simon decided to have it re-sprayed in the
colouring of the cyber-leader. The helmet itself is cast in thick fiberglass
with a removable backplate which is held in place by a nut and bolt fixing.
Its good to see that having checked footage of the original BBC Helmets,
they have used the same fastening mechanism. |
|
|
| The helmets are not lined and are therefore not really made
for wearing without modification and a helmet liner fitted. From Simons
perspective he felt that the quality of the construction to be only
fairly good, and has seen nicer fan made helmets than these official
ones. |
|
|
| We're not sure as to the provenance of the moulds used to
create this helmet i.e. we cant confirm whether it was made from the
original moulds, or more likely cast off an original helmet. Thanks for the
review Simon! |
