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. What's in the Box

 Big Disappointment, Wait for Product being Released Oct. 16 September 6, 2008

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.
 definetly not for little kids August 18, 2008

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.
 Great for star wars fans August 22, 2008

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."
 Fun for kids but seems to be made for adults September 1, 2008

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!

Birthday gift for my 8 yr old grandson. Big hit, easy to assemble, adjustable to fit any sz head, voice activated by pressing button. Everyone had to try it on and be the Storm trooper. I would purchase for a gift on Amazon.com again most stores are sold out. Easy quick shipment and we live in Hawaii.
