However, you can see they used two shades of white, plus the prior helmet&#8217;s &#8220;weathered&#8221; areas aren&#8217;t smooth like the original &#8220;Prototype&#8221; helmet. This was expected and in a Q&#038;A Hasbro said they did this to save on costs.<\/p>\n<p>We also compare Hasbro&#8217;s earlier Black Series Boba Fett helmet with this new one and you can see the interior pads also change color a little bit.<\/p>\n<p>You can also see one production issue: the Aurebesh text is written backwards. It translates to&#8221;Target in Range&#8221; on the rangefinder, but it&#8217;s read from the front, not from the inside like viewing it while wearing. Minor, but it&#8217;s also not very usable through the helmet anyway.<\/p>\n<p>This helmet showed up earlier than expected. Hasbro&#8217;s own website says it&#8217;s coming in September. Other retailers say late July, too. But this came up through a normal retailer so maybe everyone is getting it earlier than originally planned.<\/p>\n<p>For more info, and how to pick up this item:<\/p>\n<div class=\"medium-border\" style=\"margin-bottom:1rem;\"><div style=\"display:flex;
