Clone Trooper Helmet Prop Replica
The clone trooper helmet as it appears in Attack of the Clones is a detailed 1:1 replica helmet courtesy of eFX! Genetically engineered on the storm drenched world of Kamino, the first generations of clone trooper were grown from genetic material taken from the skilled bounty hunter, Jango Fett. Identical in form, physical prowess, stamina and mental capacity, each clone trooper was fully encased in hard white armor, their identical faces concealed behind a t-shaped visor.
The discovery of their secret existence came as the Confederacy of Independent Systems was gearing for war, and as such the clone army was desperately needed to protect the sanctity and stability of the Republic. The Supreme Chancellor was granted emergency powers, and as his first act, he activated the clone troopers as the grand army of the Republic. Far superior to the battle droid armies of the era, clone troopers formed the backbone of the Republic's military initiative against the Separatist forces, so much so that the wars they fought in came to be named after them.
The eFX Clone Trooper helmet has been recreated directly from digital files supplied by the Lucasfilm archives and features -Worldwide Edition: 1,000 Fiberglass Construction, See through visor, Fully Padded interior LED reflector on back of the 'Mohawk'; requires two AAA batteries (not included), Numbered Plaque, eFX Display Stand, Certificate of Authenticity.
