Title: Master Replicas & eFX
Post by: jkno on November 29, 2009, 04:17:48 AM

High end Star Wars collecting means you need to know about Master Replicas (MR) and eFX too. We don't have MR anymore, eFX took its place, there are other new companies like Quantum Mechanix who are going into Star Trek and other lines.

MR made a lot of cool prop replicas, scaled replicas, sabers, blasters, studio scale and helmets and eFX made some too. Anyone here has items from these companies?

All I have at the moment is a Vader FX saber,  I like it and wouldn't mind more,  I have been debating with myself on if I should head down the full size helmet road. I really like those, The ships and props I would love to get but I don't see it in my near future

I also have the Vader FX sabers, they are quite cool. I have only a few MR items: AT-AT SE, Stormtrooper blaster, Emperor's Cane & Clasp and Stormtrooper CE helmet and eFX Stormtrooper LE helmet, plus a few MR scaled helmets and replicas.

I just ordered a MR scaled stormtrooper helmet, I paid $35 for it, is it worth it? I hope so, it looks good and the youytube videos of it look good...

It is a great helmet. It is not wonky but idealized which is not a problem in this case and the details are superb. Just look at the interior details present there, no 1:1 helmet has those. You should try getting others as well, like Boba, some clones and of course Darth Vader. When talking about Vader mini-helmet you should preferably get the Riddell version in this case since MR had the whole thing glued up - and Riddell Vader can be opened exactly like the Vader helmet you see at the end of ROTJ
