RogueTrooper Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 This helmet is respectfully dedicated to the memory of Irvin Kershner 1923-2010. To help raise funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, eFX Inc. and the 501st TK Project will auction off one of the most unique Star Wars collectibles ever created in a special auction that will start December 14, 2010 and conclude on December 24, 2010. On its own, eFX's limited edition replica stormtrooper helmet from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, is a sought-after collectible, but the version eFX will auction to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation features 17 signatures from the talented cast and crew of the original Star Wars Trilogy, making it one of the most rare Star Wars collectibles ever offered to fans. The helmet has traveled more than 25,000 miles- from Southern California to Skywalker Ranch to New York, London and many places in between to be signed. This helmet was originally part of the 501st TK Project where Star Wars celebrities painted stormtrooper helmets and were auctioned off at Star Wars Celebration V, held in Orlando in August, 2010. The auction will be held in conjunction with the 501st Legion, an organization created by Star Wars fans that helps raise awareness of local charity need and efforts and the Make-A-Wish Foundation that grants the wished of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. This incredible collectible includes a display stand, Certificate of Authenticity and the actual black pen that was used by all of the signers, except Anthony Daniels, and the gold pen that George Lucas used. Right now it is up to 24 bids at US $10,001.00.... link to the eBay 501st/eFx/Make-A-Wish Autographed Stormtrooper Helmet auction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
