Who is Don Post(DP)?
Don Post were the official licensed provider of Star wars mask and helmets right from 1977 up to 2000. They produced a nice range of helmets and to some extent tried to appeal to all ends of the market, from the casual fan wanting a $30-$50 helmet, right up to the Deluxe range costing > $1000 as well as the excellent lifesizes. Don Post himself worked within the film industry for many years and his staff had some involvement in some of the masks and helmets in the original trilogy. They finally lost the license following disastrous sales figures from their “Phantom Menace” range. This was not really their fault as the film was pretty much devoid of any decent new characters they could base their designs on. For more info check out the Don Post icon.
