@shenphong Which brand is this one? The comparison with the shadow trooper actually is quite helpful!
Hi there, thats the Anovos tie pilot helmet.

Check our Lordzacharious or skygunbros on Facebook. I have a LZ TIE helmet I like a lot.
Yeah, they took the vac-formed helmet halves (the modded Navy APH-6B helmet) that just had the mohawk halves overlapped and glued together for the Rebel version... And added a wide spacer strip across the mohawk to widen the helmet enough to accommodate the Stormtrooper faceplate. The resulting helmet is even wider than a standard Stormtrooper helmet, as a result -- and that, at least, has the shoulder bells to help balance the look out. The pilots have the chest armor, but need something bulking up their silhouettes overall to not look like bobbleheads.
But since we mostly just saw them in the fighter cockpits, with scant context, it was deemed good enough.

Some prefer the cleaned up versions, others don't. It's good to have choices. I'm fine with cleaning up things that were a result of the limited time and budget.The anovos faceplate on the Tie has been made symmetrical, hence missing a lot of the character of the original lids. It is VERY idealised

As far as I'm aware there is no one offering TIE helmets with accurate hero face plates. They are all using reworked stunts. RS had access to a hero style face plate from the original LFL TIE they molded, but opted to use their stunt face instead - unless they changed it later.
The LZ TIE looks like a blatant copy of a Don Post TIE helmet. And the trooper next to it is clearly a copy of a MR/eFX helmet.
Sorry, this statement is just flat out wrong.
I own one and I can say definitively it's NOT symmetrical.
Sure looks a lot less wonky to me (Teeth, vocoder, cheek shape, even the eyes). Let's do the good old mirror check
here's an EVO3 helmet I picked up a few weeks ago, not sure how accurate (or not) it is:

while we are on this topic, can anyone recommend where I could acquire some bubble lens and the side disc for this helmet?
