Hello, I hope this is in the right forum, that being said I am sitting with a really ,really hot hot vinyl AntMan mask on my head . It arrived very warped and I got tired of waiting on Xcoser to get back to me so any typos are because I'm sucking in toxic fumes as I scald the top of my head and tips of my ears , so on to the show. I just received my Rubies Star Wars Episode VII Stormtrooper helmet from Amazon. Well let's say I'm not really impressed,it is full warping, a third graders idea of a paint job not to mention it looks nothing like what was pictured. There is no lens in the eyes, just a dark fabric mesh. There are three holes drilled into the "mouth" reminiscent of those early 70's Halloween costumes. This turned out to be a horrible purchase and when I tried to return it the costume company (not Amazon) told me I had to pay return shipping as well as a restock fee, but I digress. Life has handed me a lemon and I will attempt to make sweet sweet lemonade to sip on a hot summer like day, at least until the snow hits Ohio.
My plan in the next few days is to fill in the gap between the front and back of the helmet, make and insert hard smoked lenses, granted they will be flat but that is fine for now. I plan on dirtying it up and then adding the "blood" that Fin got on his mask.Wish me luck Pics to follow in the next couple of days.
