New trailer gem

The opening of the new trailer has an old style A wing helmet with what looks like a blast shield:) Finally get to see the back of a screen used helmet!
I added bunch of screen shots in my imgur album:

Since Rey's not a Pilot...I guess it's her version of a training helmet...much like Luke's X-Wing blast shield one in the Falcon.

It's a little bit different than the Original Trilogy helmet so I doubt that it's from Return of the Jedi (and I doubt that they'd toss an original prop onto the ground like that). It's got that new padding inside, for one, and it's missing the wedge greeblie on the back. The other greeblies seem to have been simplified, too. But it's still pretty neat to see. I'm curious to see what else there might be in the movie. Smile

So the Hot Toys version of Rey has the helmet...

Interesting enough, it's actually not an A-wing pilot helmet after all. It's very similar but it's not one, the front/sides are a different shape. Though it's possible that the pointed ends were just added to the helmet as separate pieces (for some reason, maybe to block off more of the view when the blast shield is down)... It kind of looks like that on the figure but it's hard to tell for certain. It also has some extra slots cut into it above the round silver greeblie.

Man it is pretty close though. I wonder if since they are tweaking the Y wing fighter, they are doing the A wing too and this helmet is the newest version with this blast shield.

I fully expect them to do that to theY wing helmet also, if they show the pilots at all.

I got the TROS visual dictionary in today. I posted pics to my imgur album. But it says it is a repurposed A wing Helmet.
