DP Deluxe Biker / Scout
Trooper |
| The this is a real rarity! Don
Post brought out the later additions to the "Deluxe" range just at the
wrong time, when interest in the movies had dipped to a real low point
before Episode I. Only 25 of the Deluxe Scout helmets were ever made due
to lack of interest so they're quite rare. |
|
|
| Its current owner, Brian lives in Encino, CA which is only about 8 miles or so from where Don Post Studios was located.
He therefore took the opportunity to pay them a visit following a phone
call and found an employee who was willing to part with it! |

|
 |
| Brian suggests that as there's
only 25 of them out there (and GL supposedly has #1), maybe you guys
should get together and form your own club!! |

 |
| Thanks to Neil for sending me
these pics and to Brian for letting us all see this ultra-rare helmet
from Don Post, one of jus 25 ever made. This one is marked Number 2! |

 |
| Below a great comparison from
Andrea comparing the DP Deluxe with the Altmann's. |

Don Post Biker - Standard
Helmet
Don Post also produced a range of Cheap masks and Helmets, which
typically retailed for around $50-$60, and some of them like the Biker
Scout and Imperial Guards were extremely good |
|
|
|
| The DP Scout Trooper, as with all
Don Post Star Wars helmets is no longer made. If you want one you can
try ebay
for one. When Rubies took over the license they produced the same cheap
vinyl helmet - but unfortunately not the fiberglass Deluxe. |
