FROM GINO: Here's a couple things I can share.
Yes, please disregard everything you see on that awful first prototype shown at nycc. It was just a first test shot from the tooling in it's very early stages.
We do have intentions on also releasing a brush painted version just like the legend.
The side tubes are separate pieces which are attached. There are undercut limitations to injection molding so because of this there was no other way.
That being said, it does not stand out like a sore thumb and is hidden quite well.
The dome is also made in two halves with the center stripe covering the seam. But again, you can really only tell if you are looking for it.
This helmet was never meant to compete with the accuracy of the legend/limited helmets. That being said they look incredibly like them and from a few feet away you would be hard pressed to notice the difference. I would have never believed that we could have achieved something that looked this good in an injected molded helmet.
I am anxious to show more pics but I'm waiting for the green light to do so.
Also because this is injection molded, production on these will be really fast and should be ready to ship in april/may.
Unlike the biker which has been a production nightmare. That is still moving forward as well and is our only outstanding SW project to date (meaning the only product we have taken money for).
And FYI, if you've been patiently waiting (when I say patiently I mean 2 freakin years!) for your eFX Biker Scout helmet to arrive, eFX are sending those who pre-ordered or paid in full a FREE ANH PCR Vader Helmet as an apology to it's customers.
Wow, that's almost like Anovos with waiting for the pre order to come through.
I might have to get one of these, I would think it should be easy to modify for trooping.
Doomsday and Armageddon got together and had a baby and man is it ugly.

Hey Fredstar,
If you have too many Darth Vader helmets in your collection and you want to sell your PCR one, I'll happily buy it from you just in case your not interested in it.
I'm giving up on any chance with having an Anovos helmet, plus they are getting stupid with the pricing from everywhere for what it is.
The new EFX could be the answer here.

I'll let ya know once I get it and I compare it to my Legend Helmet.
If you need it for trooping/costume then I could part ways with it.

Hey that would be great if at all possible, if not and you like it, i'll have to order one it's all good.
This would be my main trooping helmet once mods are done to it.
