TAG RESULTS FOR: helmet

This week in cheap Stormtrooper costume ideas, we examine Jason’s Stormtrooper trash bin helmet, an idea he was forced to employ after a student of  his promised to lend him a costume for a school event, yet failed to deliver. In a blind panic, Jason grabbed the closest object within arm’s reach and improvised. Here is what you’ll need according to Jason: “One white bin, electrical tape, black paper, double sided sticky tape, sheer determination.” The result is charmingly impressive,... Continue reading

Let me tell you the fun I would have with this thing if I lived anywhere near a desert. I’d set up shop behind a sand dune on a frequently ridden ATV trail and just wait for the perfect moment to pop-up from my hidden spot, lift my gaderffii above my head and let out my best sand person roar. While I’ve seen literally thousands of Darth Vader and Stormtrooper themed helmets, and even plenty of Yoda-themed headgear, I’m confident... Continue reading

I’m not quite sure where the merging of Alice in Wonderland and Star Wars became an idea that seemed worth trying, but I’m glad it happened. The Cheshire Cat Stormtrooper Helmet makes your typical imperial trooper seem creepily happy and just a tad too furry. I doubt these helmets would ever pass Darth Vader’s stringent uniform protocol, but a trooper can dream. Link [via]

No doubt about it, the Star Wars universe just wouldn’t be the same without the shiny white uniforms of the Stormtroopers, but maybe the boss Stormtrooper man could wear a steampunk-themed helmet. You know, just to differentiate himself from the crowd. Though this might defeat the purpose. I think the anonymity of Stormtroopers added to the fascist overtone of the Empire. Almost akin to the Nazis and their Aryan army. Allusions to history aside, this Steampunk Stormtrooper Helmet is undeniably cool. Just unabashedly... Continue reading

Making motorcycle helmets? This looks... Continue reading

The next time you take off on your bicycle, be sure to wear some proper safety gear. Since helmets tend to look pretty lame, save for motorcycle helmets, get one that at least brings a little spice to the table. That’s why it’s a damn shame The Brain Box by Death Spray Custom is a one-of-a-kind work of genius. Disappointed? Me too. Link

Kelemer and Marks gathered close to 100 of the hottest underground and pop surrealist painters, artists , and designers to participate. Each artist was given a 1:1 scale authentic prop replica of the actual... Continue reading

I’ve always wanted my own viking helmet just so I can reenact my favorite parts of Beowulf, but steel is uncomfortable and it’s getting cold outside. That’s why a better alternative to a steel viking helmet is this wool helm made by Cynthia Rae of Candypop Creations. It’s $7 bucks and that turkey drumstick (which goes so well with the hat) is sold separately. Link [via]
