Preparing for your first mission as a Clone Trooper is quick and easy. Before you assemble the helmet, adjust the straps on the insert to fit your child, then snap it into place. We had to try several times before the two back pieces and the front of the helmet snapped together neatly. Once we got the three pieces aligned correctly, they attached securely, producing a sleek, sturdy helmet. The three "AA" batteries that power audio features come already installed. Featuring realistic details, including a tinted visor, a crest on top, and clone-inspired colors, this durable, plastic helmet has three buttons on the right side that prompt five different sayings from the Clone Wars TV show. A button that issues radio static keeps communication interesting, and commands like "Cover Me!" and "All units fire at will!" add a quick adrenaline rush to any battle. Plus, there's a voice-modulator microphone so kids (and adults) can issue their own statements in a cool clone voice. Experience Intergalactic Role Playing
Whether part of a Halloween custom, an everyday role-playing game, or a display in the ultimate collector's bedroom, this Clone Trooper helmet brings home all the excitement of Star Wars. We were floored by the accuracy and durability of its construction. Plus the tinted visor was much easier to see through than we expected, as long as the helmet was sized correctly. The size and weight that make this helmet so realistic and durable did cause us to worry about how easy it would be for smaller children to wear. It's true that the straps inside adjust to fit small heads, but that doesn't prevent the size of the helmet itself from being awkward. Similarly, the microphone is adjustable, but it can still be stuck too far away from a small child's mouth. This means that the helmet has to be lifted by hand to speak through the microphone. When it's positioned close enough to the wearer's face, the microphone does a good job amplifying statements and commands, as well as providing the static you'd expect from a clone. It's ability to truly modify and deepen a voice is less reliable, although this doesn't really detract from the fun. Overall, it's hard to beat a toy that encourages active, imaginative play the way this helmet does. Even adults who are loyal to the original trilogy are likely to enjoy slipping the Clone Trooper helmet on and taking part in the struggles of the Republic. What's in the Box

Ann Augustine (Valencia, PA, US)
Satisfied with the intake of breath when the Birthday guests wanted to try it on one by one. A year later, it has been the center of a great Halloween Costume, the inspiration for purchasing laser tag guns and launched a 2nd generation Star Wars Fan. The helmet holds a place of honor in the room of my 10 year old grandson who now has viewed all the original Star War videos. It took Daddy a few minutes to put it together, but it has held up perfectly.

I bought this helmet for my nephew and he loved it. It is so cool how it changes the child's voice....very star wars like. I definitely reccommend this product for other kids. They will have lots of fun playing with it.
 Cheap, but fun January 20, 2010
J. Braden (SE Kansas)
Very cheaply made. It doesn't stay together very well, and it is very uncomfortable. The voice changer is useless as i couldn't get it to work very well. All that said it is still fun to play with.
A neighborhood favorite January 18, 2010
J. L. Francis (Sacramento, CA)
This helmet is owned by my son as well as every other boy under 7 on our street. Great because they all get together and play Star Wars in the neighborhood. While it is not very easy to put tegether and has the potential to break apart at the seams, it seems to hold up pretty well. We will probably eventually get every helmet we see. :o)
A kid's review of the Clone Helmet December 28, 2009
This is a good toy. I had a little trouble getting the straps right, but it worked out okay. Also, the voice changer practically doesn't work but it echoes a little. It's a little oversized, and not TOO realistic. Overall, it's a little heavy, but it's a good toy for an 11 and under kid.
