An employee poses with a Stormtrooper helmet from the 2017 film Star Wars: The last Jedi, on display at the IMAX ahead of being auctioned in London, Sept. 6, 2018.
The prototype helmets were manufactured by Andrew Ainsworth, based on initial designs made by Nick Pemberton. The current bid stands at $29,000, but that is expected to rise to as much as $60,000 by the time bidding closes. A 1976 prototype Imperial Stormtrooper’s helmet that was one of the initial pre-production designs by manufacturer Andrew Ainsworth for the first ‘Star Wars’ film is expected to fetch $70,000 at a Sotheby's auction in London."Nick did the initial clay to get a feel for a direction, and I sculpted the real thing in my bespoke method of metal powder and resin, which allowed the sculpt to also be the vacuum forming mold," Ainsworth told the auction house.
