Do Not Buy The Rubie's Helmet!

Okay so, i go to the mall to go look at gamestop to find some Halo figurines and stuff. They are all sold out, so i went upstairs to an FYE store. And then my eye caught the master chief helmet. i decided if i dont get my pep helmet finished for halo-ween, i can use that helmet. so i got it. It was $40 so i was thinking it was like Adam's. rock hard, all that stuff. Well, i thought WRONG! I open it up only to find that the cheap helmet is connected in two pieces by velcro. And then theres this HUGE line where you put it together. It is stupid. Its really flimsy plastic. Basically the same plastic the used to cover it.

Pics: It may look kinda nice, but trust me, its not!

Anyways, Rubies is junk. dont get it.

Rubies, I am dissapointed.
 
im going to just work on my real helmet...to Adam: the dissapointment is that id expect bungie to hire someone decent to make the costumes is all. maybe you!
 
fixing that seam and painting would help a lot. Hard to really tell from the pics but the chin looks wrong. It can definitely be improved.

Not me, but basically they are making a BETTER more expensive version. Thing is, it's all about the benjamins baby. People will buy this for halloween, and $ will be made.

Thats actually pretty good for a Rubie's helmet.
Maybe they figured that theres looked like a chipmunk.
I see great improvement.
People could use these as a cheap replacement.
But do what Adam said, seems like a pretty damn good base to me.

So you got this at FYE for how much?
Doesn't look that bad (you can use cheap things to use as a base and save time..), looks workable. Styrene and Bondo can probably get you far on that...

How's the visor?

If you don't want it, I'll take it.

Yeah, we'll get Adam , Spase , Link, BlueRealm, Belakor, Sean, and the whole elite section to form a company and appeal to Bungie.

That covers nearly every Halo prop that's needed, perms, weps, armor and all.

Unless you want to be an elite or something, then you're out of luck.

What did you expect from a mass-produced Halloween costume? Very rarely do you see something actually worth buying sadly :(

Though it does look like crap. I would much prefer crappy tinted plastic then a little slot for a visor, and the two halves look like they went to two different helmets.

Here's an Idea, try selling it to some Halo n00b you know that you've meet in real life. The response would probably be like this: OMG! IZ TTLY TAKE IT FROMZ YOU! ROFL IZ THE 1337EST EVER! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. The easiest way to get that helmet off your hands :lol: .
 
I though the helmet was one piece... But nothing bad but a westerfield is in 3 pieces. You could easily make this look like a nice helmet with some work. Think of it as the pep helm already made... all you have to do is bondo and fiber glass the inside insert a new visor maybey and repaint...
