Join the Grand Army of the Republic
Preparing for your first mission as a Clone Trooper is quick and easy. Before you assemble the helmet, adjust the straps on the insert to fit your child, then snap it into place. We had to try several times before the two back pieces and the front of the helmet snapped together neatly. Once we got the three pieces aligned correctly, they attached securely, producing a sleek, sturdy helmet. The three “AA” batteries that power audio features come already installed.
Featuring realistic details, including a tinted visor, a crest on top, and clone-inspired colors, this durable, plastic helmet has three buttons on the right side that prompt five different sayings from the Clone Wars TV show. A button that issues radio static keeps communication interesting, and commands like “Cover Me!” and “All units fire at will!” add a quick adrenaline rush to any battle. Plus, there’s a voice-modulator microphone so kids (and adults) can issue their own statements in a cool clone voice.
Experience Intergalactic Role Playing
Whether part of a Halloween custom, an everyday role-playing game, or a display in the ultimate collector’s bedroom, this Clone Trooper helmet brings home all the excitement of Star Wars. We were floored by the accuracy and durability of its construction. Plus the tinted visor was much easier to see through than we expected, as long as the helmet was sized correctly.
The size and weight that make this helmet so realistic and durable did cause us to worry about how easy it would be for smaller children to wear. It’s true that the straps inside adjust to fit small heads, but that doesn’t prevent the size of the helmet itself from being awkward. Similarly, the microphone is adjustable, but it can still be stuck too far away from a small child’s mouth. This means that the helmet has to be lifted by hand to speak through the microphone.
When it’s positioned close enough to the wearer’s face, the microphone does a good job amplifying statements and commands, as well as providing the static you’d expect from a clone. It’s ability to truly modify and deepen a voice is less reliable, although this doesn’t really detract from the fun. Overall, it’s hard to beat a toy that encourages active, imaginative play the way this helmet does. Even adults who are loyal to the original trilogy are likely to enjoy slipping the Clone Trooper helmet on and taking part in the struggles of the Republic.

4 Stars Heavy! Voice changer not great; still a fun toy for ages 5 - 8
We purchased this helmet as a Christmas gift for our sons, ages 5 and 8. The voice changer did not work. We exchanged it without any difficulties and this second one works better. However, as other reviewers commented, it is not a high quality voice changer. We have another voice changer that works much better. Also, the helmet is very heavy and awkward to walk around in. Be aware of that if you intend to purchase this as a Halloween costume. All of that being said, it is a fun toy. They love to play with it.
4 Stars Grandson loved it
Bought this for our 9 year old Grandson, a Star Wars fan and he loves it.
1 Stars save your money
My grandson had been begging for this for Easter. It was a big disappointment. Too heavy, can’t walk with it on. As far as the “voice changer” goes, that’s a joke. It’s just a static button that you use when you talk. It doesn’t change your voice! I feel strongly that this is a false advertising issue. Huge, huge disappointment.
4 Stars Wish I had one as a kid…
I have to say, this is a cool helmet. The built in voice commands are great and the voice changer is nifty too. I love that it has an adjustable feature inside so as your child grows, you can adjust it to fit…it is not the generic “once size fits all.”
On the downside, this was not the easiest thing to assemble and the microphone inside is a little low.
If you have a child who likes Clone Wars, this is a great buy. I know my boy will get hours of play out of this.
3 Stars Pretty good fun but a little disappointing
I bought this for my 9 year old son and he thinks it’s pretty cool. A little bit fiddly with the way things snap together (and don’t line up properly) and I agree with another review that it doesn’t seem to change the voice much but overall my son enjoys it - mainly for the look. Hey, if the voice changer actually worked he wouldn’t be able to find the thing, I’d be using it for conference calls. I think it’s worth the money I paid for it and would purchase it again.
