In early 2014, artist Arik Ehle of '
Wild Westside' participated in a group show put on by Disney and Lucasfilm called 'Project Legion'. He customized a blank 6" vinyl Stormtrooper helmet and decided to put a spin on the traditional character and make him 'Rebellious'. Arik happened to have an extra mini New Era hat on hand, which he's used in previous sculptures, and when it fit almost perfectly... it gave him the inspiration for the whole piece. Recently, the official Star Wars Instagram posted a photo of his 'Rebellious' trooper sculpture and it had a great response (over 120,000 likes), so based on requests/interest he decided to do a super limited run of 5 nearly full sized custom vinyl helmets. Measuring (10"H x 11"W x 11"D) you can snag these up
HERE right now for $225 a pop... a steal, and an amazing addition to any Star Wars fans collection!
