I'm Lee by the way, this is my first post, first of many i'm thinking! I live in the UK and my friends call me 'pink ranger boy' (hence the name) because of my mad obsession with Kimberly! lol
anyway, back to what i need your help with. I'm thinking about buying that helmet on ebay but i was wondering if that's a good price for it? Is there any other place i can get it cheaper?

I'd say, don't get it.
Unless you absolutely must have a pink ranger helmet.

Rougue's helmets tend to, well lets say, not be the best at all.
And if you look at the pictures, the design seems a little off and crooked.

No one else, as far as i know, currently does an MMPR pink, so if you really want it, go for it.

His helmets are usually too big. As for cheaper? You can't get much cheaper than that for a helmet. Also considering he's pretty much the ONLY person selling the Pink Ranger helmets, he's about the only choice right now.

I know, i have searched EVERYWHERE online and that's the only MMPR pink helmet i've came across! i did notice that the mouth was a little crooked but i figured if it was up on display nobody would really notice =S

If you're willing to pay a lot more, then wait. But if money is an issue, I'd say go for it. If you plan on getting an accurate one, even in Kit form, it will run you more than Rogue's completed helmet.

Another avenue of research is Yahoo Japan. There are no doubt tutorials and info on the web if you dont know much about this.
You'll pay more than you spend on a car, or a years food, but the result you can get on there is worth it if your really obsessed-

(this is not a current auction, this was like a year ago now)

Imagine that on a mannequin! hell of a display piece!

The eBay item, the visor doesn't line up properly. Rip off.

WOW! I want that one. Thank you very much for your help, i'm glad now i turned to the RB for help instead of just buying that one on ebay.
Money is not an issue when it comes to the pink MMPR! i would sell my car straight up for that costume!

lol, perhaps but that suit I just posted, is the only one I have ever seen for sale and it was over a year ago, memory serving that perticular suit was running for about £1500 or something insane. Its so very rare to see full MMPR suits on YJ and they will cost a lot, my advice is just to check regularly cos when and if one like that above does ever come up, chances are itll be one in a million in luck!

That helmet is a childs size helmet. I thought about buying it, but I asked him if it was an adults becuase it sayd child cosplay on it, and he replied no. So blah. I say no.

Well actually, Ive been looking at this helmet for a while. Granted he does not make the best helmets, but when you read the fine print, it says it was made for 12-16 year olds. Makes me wonder that if his helmets for "adults" are big on their own, how would one made by him for younger people look like on someone?
I suggest someone buy this and check it out XD

I've got nothing to contribute here, but I wanted to say that I appreciate that everybody was helpful to this guy, and didn't just play "flame the noob". It's been known to happen.

Keep it up everyone! :023:

No lol its the material underhood that goes over the head under the helmet, and makes the visible white neck of the suit.
