mantisfists Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) I have one of these. I love it. It's heavy and loud as hell, but when I was on the supermoto it wasn't so bad. I took the plastic shielding out and wore some dirt goggles instead. The bike and the helmet together provided endless giggles. If I could get a whole riding suit that looked like a Macross flight suit, I'd be all in. Kind of like these guys.....

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! I didn't mind having the number on mine but would MUCH rather have these. Don't feel like rebuying either. F'ers, lol!

My Hikaru and Roy don't have the numbers. My Max does. I wonder if they will sell me just the stickers........I just sent a message. If I can get them I'll get you a set.

505thAirborne Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 When only an Official YAMATO made DYRL helmet will do, Roy Focker no less. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Macross-Roy-Focker-Helmet-1-1-Scale-The-Super-Dimensions-Fortress-YAMATO/254777283651?hash=item3b51e8d443:g:kXwAAOSw~rpfql3Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But holy smokes the money. I'd have to have a Hikaru too. Not going to happen. I'll stick with the knock offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, years ago when the KO's first came out some complained that they didn't look as accurate... then they saw the Yamato price tag. The Knock Offs work out just fine.

sqidd Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share Posted December 25, 2020 I had a company called Pit Viper make me a "custom" (they're in his line but small batches) SDFM Hikaru atmosphere open face and a Roy open face to go with my DYRL stuff. The Hikaru was delivered first. What a complete pile of doodie! The helmet is the wrong scale, the paint work was horrible and the surface wasn't even smooth. I hated to do it but I used PayPal to help me return it and canceled the Roy. A real shame, I wanted them to go with my DYRL stuff. They were only $360. I would have gladly paid more for better helmets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogueload Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 And the red is too dark on that custom helmet. Helmet looks like hot trash. Glad you got your $$ back @sqidd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Focker Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 The owner of Pit Viper has major health issues. I think a bad heart. Doctor told him to stop working before he drops dead but continues until he can find a buyer for the business. I think he also said his vision is bad too. He also made a post explaining how he figured out the dimensions for the Macross helmet. Based on inaccurate data even for Robotech. That helmet design was discontinued after the last batch for being too difficult to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
