My two sons are Star Wars fanatics. My 9 year old especially loves the clone troopers. The helmet is big (my head can fit it it) and the kids do look like bobbleheads as the other reviewer mentioned. The voice changer could be better but the other reviewer was too critical. The point is to sound like a clone trooper not like Darth Vader. So it doesn't do much to change the voice because after all, clone troopers are just cloned humans anyways. And there are the other buttons which sound out phrases from the Clone wars movie. My son thinks "it's perfect."

I was nervous getting it because of the reviews to be honest. I love reading them because it helps me decide of the price is worth the risk of maybe getting a crappy item.

I took the risk.

And am glad.

I have a small three year old and a 5 year old who are star wars NUTS. I figured if anything they would just get a kick out of it. I wasnt disappointed nor were my children.


Review:
It came in 4 pieces that you just fit together and snap into place. If you do not do it right then the helmet will come apart. If you have a bit of patience and fit it together as it should be... it'll stay. I did not have patience the first time and when my son put it on.. the back fell off.

MY BAD! Once I took the few minutes. It fit right and we were good to go!

The advertised voice changer... is really just a mic that projects your voice but to be honest.. for 20 bucks. (I got the flash sale one) Its still effin cool. It has buttons that plays the troopers voices and various saying though.. which was a big hit.

It is large.. but thats okay. The kids, as small as they are, can wear it just fine. And the strap set to the smallest setting - fit them *perfectly* and it will readjust to fit an adult (so the husband was happy)


One con: if you buy it for a child year old, do not expect it to fit so perfect that their mouths will be near the mic.

Our 8 yr old wanted to spend some Christmas money on this item. We were very happy to find it on Amazon for $25. We had looked at it in many other stores for anywhere from $30 - $50. I read him some reviews from here, particularly regarding the "voice changer" before purchasing, but he wanted it anyway.

He LOVES this toy. It does require snapping together, and was a little tricky, but not too bad. The "voice changer" does not. And the microphone does not reach his mouth, so he really does not use that part of the helmet. Nevertheless, he loves playing with it, and being a clone trooper. He is a little smaller than average, but has never complained that the helmet hurt him or was too heavy. Mostly he uses his own voice and commands. He wears it outside, playing imagination battle games. It has been dropped on hard floors several times, but has not broken.

Although this clearly is false advertising, regarding the voice-changing function (which doesn't), nevertheless, it was a good investment for Daniel.

I bought this from TRU ([...])for my 5-year-old son. First, he looked like a bobble-head when he put it on. I think a child would need to be about 10 before it could fit him. It is made to fit 5-adult. The inside head strap is adjustable, making it fit any head, but definetly not any body. My son couldn't walk without holding on to it. Even then it was wobbly and difficult and he couldn't see well. Second, it says it is a "voice changer". It should have read "voice amplifier" because it doesn't change the voice. It does the same thing as my son's toy cash register's microphone feature. I returned it and got him a rather snazzy Darth Vader costume instead.

I feel so bad for my son, who is almost nine. He bought this product with money he's been saving up, and it's a total disappointment. It is unfair that it says "voice changer" on the front, because it's just an amplifier. I see that there is a second clone trooper helmet being released next month. It actually has a voice changer with the radio crackles, etc. I am trying to get my son, who is crying in his room right now, to let me take the first one back and place an on-line order for the newer one so that we will be sure to get it before it sells out - and before Halloween, God willing! It really angers me when false advertising is used to get little kids to spend their money and disappoint them.

First off, this is a super cool item. My daughter and all her boy and girlfriends play with this all the time. That said, it is HUGE and even after adjusting the inside fittings, the eyes and mouthpiece are too far apart for a normal kid. She actually has to raise the whole head up about 2-3 inches for her mouth to be near the "voice" changer for her to talk into it. The buttons to hear the clone voices are fun but she gets annoyed she has to raise the head up just to hear her voice. Overall it is very sturdy but they should have made a size available for kids ages 5-10 years old - the other reviewer is right in that it seems to be made for teens/adults. My daughter is a very tall 7yr old and it is way too big for her. Still, she uses it all the time!

My 3 and a half year old grandson asked me if I would get him this helmet. He loves all the star wars movies and cartoons. He has all the star wars legos. As a supportive grandmother, I first read all of the reviews before buying. After making my decision to purchase this helmet, we waited patiently for the delivery. It arrived in 6 business days. We assembled the helmet without any problems. You need to read the directions and follow the pictures. We adjusted the helmet the smallest that we could so that he could wear it and be able to see through the eye area.
He didn't care that it was a little wobbly or slightly heavy. He loves pushing the buttons on the side of the helmet to hear the trooper giving orders and saying what's going on. The voice changer dosen't change your voice it only amplifies it. He dosen't like to use it.
I am happy with this helmet and my grandson loves it. Amazon was the best price that we found on the internet and in major stores, like Target and Wal-Mart. It has fallen on the floor more than a dozen times and it hasn't fallen apart yet. The secret is to make sure you snap it in place securely.
I would definately recommend this Helmet!

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.

My son enjoys this helmet but it isn't what we thought it would be. It states on the description it changes your voice but myself and my son didn't feel it does what it says. Basically you hold a button, the noise is static and you talk over it so it doesn't change your voice just adds a static sound. The helmet is quite heavy so even though it says you can adjust the size it still didn't fit his head too well. He did enjoy playing it for a little while but now it sits in the basement with the rest of the toys.

My 2 boys, 4 and 6, love these helmets in small doses. However, they are heavy and the head adjusting bands don't work well enough to keep them in place during standard play. The automatic sayings are the best part. The voice changer doesn't work unless you have your mouth right on top of the microphone - which doesn't make it to the kids' mouth well. Overall the kids love them when they play with them, the problem is since they don't stay on well they only get used for 5-10 minutes at a time.
