Star Wars Black Series Helmets: The 6 Best in 2023

Star Wars Black Series Helmets: The 6 Best in 2023

If you ask us, the Star Wars saga is one of, if not, the greatest movie franchises of all time. With 9 movies, multiple tv series, and multiple Disney plus series (including the best live-action series: The Mandalorian), there is an entire beloved galaxy to explore. The galaxy from a long long time ago far far away is known for its sense of galactic action and adventure that truly inspires us and makes us dream of what amazing worlds could be. Whether you always loved the Jedi, the Dark Side, or the rogue bounty hunters, Star Wars is both an incredible epic and incredibly relatable all at the same time. 

With such an amazing saga has come amazing merchandise. And some of the absolute best is the Black Series helmet series. These helmets are premium roleplaying items, taking you right into some of the most dramatic events of the Star Wars galaxy and the biggest battles. All of the helmets are made with exquisite features and realistic detail and many have adjustable straps so they will fit any head. And what’s great is that the detail and realism don’t affect the price as these helmets’ prices are very reasonable. 

But whether you choose to wear the helmet or keep it on a shelf, the Black Series helmets are perfect for any Star Wars fan. Here is a list of our favorites:

For The Jedi: The Black Series Luke Skywalker Battle Simulation Helmet

Price: $81.26 + Shipping

Since the Jedi are called “light-side force users,” it’s no surprise they have an affinity for the light and don’t hide behind helmets very often. Yet, every Star Wars fan knows the iconic scene in A New Hope when Luke Skywalker flies his X-Wing and takes out the Death Star via an exhaust port. Then, in The Empire Strikes Back, Luke wore the same helmet to fly around in The Battle of Hoth and now you can wear the same helmet and relive the moments. 

The Luke Skywalker Battle Simulation Helmet includes surround sound effects as well as lights in the visor to make you feel a part of the action. The helmet has realistic looks and can actually switch between simulating the battles of Yevin and the Battle of Hoth so you can choose your story. This helmet has an incredible 4.8 stars out of 5 on Amazon so you know it will make a great addition to any Star Wars fan collection. 

For The Sith Lord: The Black Series Darth Vader Premium Electronic Helmet (Obi-Wan Kenobi Series inspired design)

Price: 131.99 + Shipping

There is nothing more intimidating or menacing than when you see the sith lord Darth Vader in A New Hope for the first time (except perhaps when you see him at the end of Rogue One). Darth Vader is the quintessential villain, even ranking number 1 villain of all time on the IGN Top 100 villains list. Starting as Anakin Skywalker, he became the most feared sith Lord and everyone knows when he is breathing down their throat. 

While the helmet may lack a voice changer, it isn’t lacking much else. The helmet comes complete with a collar piece, a mask piece, and a hood piece that magnetically forms one amazing multi-piece Darth Vader Helmet. It has a 4.9 rating on Amazon and for good reason. With this full-scale Darth Vader helmet, you will be saying “Now I am the master.” 

For The Original Bounty Hunter: The Black Series Boba Fett Premium Electronic Helmet

Price: $131.99 + Shipping

There may be a debate about who our favorite bounty hunter is, but there is no debate about who the OG bounty hunter is. When he shows up for the first time in The Empire Strikes Back, everyone knew he was not to be messed with. He quickly became a fan favorite and for a good reason. And for those who thought he died in the Banta pit during the Revenge of the Sith, Disney Plus gave us the Book of Boba Fett, where we got to experience a whole new adventure detailing his life.

This helmet would be a great addition to any Star Wars fan’s collection. The helmet includes a viewfinder that drops down so you can lock in your rangefinder, which has flashing red and white lights. The rangefinder is definitely one of our favorite features, it makes you feel like one of the greatest bounty hunters in the galaxy! There is no doubt, the Boba Fett helmet is the premium roleplay helmet.

For The Mandalorian Fan: The Black Series The Mandalorian Premium Electronic Helmet & The Black Series Bo-Katan Kryze Premium Electronic Helmet

Price: $131.99 & $121.98 + Shipping

Probably the greatest part of Disney Plus has been The Mandalorian series. From Grogu to the black saber, there has been so much for Star Wars fans to enjoy. Thus, the Star Wars Black Helmet series has made not just one, but two helmets celebrating Mandalorians.

The first helmet is the one worn by Din Djarin, otherwise affectionately known as Mando. And the helmet is a pretty exact replica. In this helmet, you feel like you are wearing impenetrable beskar armor and get the fun of lights on the inside of the helmet as well as the outside. Specifically, on the side, you can use Mando’s tactical light, allowing you to fulfill every mission. The Mandalorian series has made this a truly iconic helmet for all Star Wars devotees.

The second helmet is from the fan-favorite Bo-Katan. The former queen of Mandalor is a fierce leader, an able fighter, and has one cool helmet. Her Black Series helmet includes wear and tear detail as well as the classic Mandalorian colors. Like Boba Fett’s helmet, Bo-Katan’s Black Series helmet comes with an impressive rangefinder and would be an impressive addition to any complete collection.

For The Stormtrooper: The Black Series Imperial Stormtrooper Electronic Voice Changer Helmet

Price: $269.55 + Shipping

The Empire wouldn’t be able to rule the galaxy without their soldiers; that is where the imperial stormtroopers come in. Despite their apparent lack of ability to shoot enemies (or dodge doors), they are still key players in the Star Wars movie series. If you don’t want to be a rebel, being a stormtrooper would be one of the best jobs available.

The Black Series Imperial Stormtrooper helmet, lets you feel like you’ve joined the imperial army. There are multiple stormtrooper helmets available, but a unique part of this helmet is that it has a working voice changer. Unfortunately, the voice changer doesn’t actually change the sound of your voice per se, it lets you speak through the helmet and adds some electricity to it. It should be noted that because of this and some weird fit, this helmet has the lower rating of all the Black series helmets (only 4.5 out of 5 stars). But it still has made lots of happy Star Wars fans and looks great on a shelf as part of your collection. 

For The Limited Edition Collector: Limited Exclusive Edition Star Wars The Black Series Galaxy's Edge Captain Cardinal Electronic Helmet

Price: $514.51 + Shipping

The final helmet on our list is the Galaxy’s Edge Captain Cardinal helmet. Galaxy Edge, or as some people call it Star Wars land, is the Star Wars land found within the Disney Parks and introduced Captain Cardinal for the first time. He is a captain in the imperial army and is unique in that he wears an all-red suit, including a red helmet.

Like most collectibles, the Black Series wouldn’t be complete without a unique, limited-edition, helmet. Like the Imperial Stormtrooper helmet, it includes a voice changer that works decently well and has a beautiful red color that really stands out. Overall, the helmet is definitely pricey, but if you want to collect them all, this is a helmet you need to get!

Star Wars is one of the greatest movie sagas ever and there is some great merchandise for it! But perhaps the absolute best is the Black Helmet Series and every helmet on this list would make the perfect addition to your Disney and Star Wars merchandise collection.
