the beloved franchise full metal alchemistleft a mark on its fans, this is mainly due to its history and characters that earned an important place among the fans, which is why it became one of those anime series that stands the test of time.
Since, despite the fact that its anime and manga ended a while ago, the franchise is still one of the best that has ever come from Japan, as the Elric Brothers they are legend in their own right, and now, an official replica of Alphonse’s iconic helmet is about to hit the market.
This update comes from castemAs the brand has announced plans to make an Alphonse helmet, this replica will weigh over 24lbs, and if you’re looking to do an authentic Alphonse cosplay, this helmet will take your look to the next level, though for its weight you might consider have it better in your collection.
Now, manufacturing-wise, Castem first had to design the part using 3D modeling, and since the look of the helmet was finally approved after a series of designs testing began, so once Fullmetal Alchemist fans they buy the piece, it’s made to order and it starts with a stainless steel base that is melted at 1700 degrees centigrade.
Then, pouring it into a mold and cooling it down before assembly, polishing and casing can take place, meaning this order can take up to three months from purchase to final destination…and its cost. it’s not very cheap.
Castem, sells the helmet for more than $1,200 USD (approximately $24592.92 MXN), it is clear that this collectible is not cheap, but it is definitely authentic and quite an appetizing collectible for Fullmetal Alchemist fans, since Alphonse would approve of the piece without No doubt about it, but for now, let’s hope the Elric brothers don’t have to strap Alphonse down with any more armor, at least not anytime soon.
