Master Replicas Shock Trooper Helmets

August 22, 2008

Any true Star Wars collector will recognize that this Shock Trooper helmet is a must have for any collection. Anyone can have a regular Stormtrooper helmet but the Shock trooper helmet is something for the true fan to enjoy. The Shock Troopers made their debut in the climax to the Star Wars saga - Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.

The Shock Troopers were the personal bodyguards of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and they can be distinguished by the fearsome, bold red stripes across their helmets. This unique armor design clearly identified them as the upper crust of the Clone forces.

One of the finest examples of a Shock trooper helmet that we have found is the Master Replicas Shock Trooper helmet that they recreated directly from digital files supplied by Lucasfilm Ltd. Some of the features and highlights of the MR Shocktrooper helmet are:

Rugged fiberglass construction
High Quality gloss paint finish
Each helmet is wearable with a fully lined and padded interior with a see-through, tinted plastic lens
Comes with a custom display stand, metal plaque and certificate of authenticity
Limited to 750 pieces.

If you aren't familiar with Master Replicas, they are the leader in Movie prop replicas and make a very fine recreation of some of your favorite movie props.

Begin collecting them today and look for more exciting releases still to come.

Shock Trooper Background

As the Clone Wars race inexorably toward their tumultuous conclusion, Jedi Knights fighting alongside battalions of Clone troopers are spread throughout the galaxy engaging the droid armies of General Grievous and the Separatists.

The Clone troopers sport a variety of insignia that ranges from the generic white trooper to special unit divisions similar to the Special Forces you are familiar with today. Supreme Chancellor Palpatine has his own regiment - the fearsome Shock Troops. Bold red stripes across their helmets, clearly identify them as the ultimate strata in the Republic's cloned forces.

To create the Clone trooper helmet replica, Master Replicas was provided with the original ILM digital character files. From these they generated a 3D model to use as a master pattern to create accurate molds from which they produce these helmets in high quality fiberglass. Since they used original computer renders, you can be assured that our Clone trooper helmet is an exact replica, accurately repeating the multitude of subtle shapes and curves that make up this incredible piece of armor that bridges the gap between the Clone trooper forces of the prequels and the Stormtroopers of the classic trilogy.
