For now I'll leave it blank. I'll still get three more of the Commando helmets so I could make myself the Delta Squad (I was really inspired by the one made by minifigmaker.com). :wink:

Great Review. :wink:

I hope arealight makes more helmet variations. (Like Commander Jet's helmet)
Keep up the great work!

Thanks. But I think Colt's 'Phase 1.5' Helmet is almost the same as a Phase II helmet (That's why I used him as the example for the helmet to illustrate the very small difference between them.)

First off, Great thanks to Kiel made such a magnificent review for me. And thank you guys kind comments.

Well, Regarding of printed helmets. Yup, we are planing to make it. But I am afraid that I can't tell more detail about it right now, cause we got some problem of printing and need to solve. But I'd let out that we focus on EP3 commanders this time and maybe some of Female Mandos I thought.

No problem arealight. :classic:

I can't wait to see the printed versions of the helmets. Considering the print quality of your Twi'lek products, I know the helmet printing will also be pretty good. And female Mandos? It would be interesting to see what these female Mandos are. I haven't heard about them before, except maybe for the regular female Mandalorian citizens like Satine.

Female Mandos supposedly are indistinguishable due to their armor, but fans like to adjust their, uh, figure non-canonically. :laugh:

I think they would try to print at least one of each helmet but it would be quite difficult as it probably won't be as easy as his torso printing which is a flat surface.
Though he did print the Twi Leks very well and even detailed the (Leku?) tentacle things as well.
How many variations are there of these Commando's because I was imagining only one print design but I didn't know there are more than one?
Bacara and Neyo would be one print design and the Clone Commander Helmet could have many different ones like Bly and Thire.

Primarily there's the white armor and black armor, but the white has other accent colors like green and orange.

Well, Clone Commandos can be as generic as these ones, or as be as flamboyant in custom prints as the Delta Squad. I think it's safe to assume that only the helmet visor will be printed and the complex prints like those of the Delta Squad is a far possibility.

Yes, and I recommended Delta Squad that Kiel mention.

Thanks for trust our ability. We did test some bit for trying and it seems not bad so far. Sorry that there is no certain news for you guys. But I would rather like to let the picture saying. Please wait for me.

Actually, My most enjoy is watching many great customs by your own. Like I'm very enjoy with Kiel's works. So let's go customs!

So we'll be expecting Delta Squadron prints for the Clone Commando Helmets? That would be sweet, four different custom helmet prints. :cry_happy:

Now I might just have to wait for these printed ones instead of buying another batch and customizing them myself.

It's nice to see some new colors, but red and blue seems to be too colorful for my taste. I still like the conventional white clones with some customized prints. Unless the CW series comes up with an all-blue/all-red clone troopers. :grin:
