It's funny that people are comparing a relatively cheap, injection molded plastic helmet with a $1500 fiberglass helmet. $30 worth of time and paint could fix that paint swoosh.
Toys, action figures, props, helmets... Prototypes are almost always hand painted and the final product can vary from the advertised prototype or the pictures on the package.
I'm surprised this seems to be a new concept.
I felt like the factory did a great job on the fiberglass legend version so I expect the paint job to be about the same for the special edition.
The efx description of the product also says "hand painted". I may have overlooked it, but I don't see any disclaimer that the photos are a prototype and the actual product may vary. There doesn't seem to be much reason to use photos of anything but the actual product when the product wasn't available for sale until they actually had them.

Well, you are the Anovos cheerleader. They have ALSO not shown any actual product. Do you excuse their behavior as well?
Aside from the Nike Swoosh, the rest sure looks hand painted to me. Again, this is a $300 helmet. A lot of you have no idea how bad it was for Vader collectors for the longest time. I would have killed someone to have something like this 15 years ago when the damned DP Vader and DP CA were out in circulation. Let alone the Legend, which is a far leap better than anything else available, cleaned up or not.
