The problem is that if it's suppose to be ANH version, it's suppose to look gritty and not as pristine, which your received helmet appears as such. The display version posted earlier has a significantly more accurate paint scheme and actually looks more how it's suppose to, and looks much more authentic
To say one is "spoiling the fun" is rather incorrect. If people are looking for an affordable ANH helmet to collect or use otherwise, and EFX, known for their "prop replicas" put one out, then why would one not think it would be a relatively faithful representation of the ANH version helmet? If we wanted clean and shiny, they'd better go with ESB or ROTJ even, not ANH. It's not like people are getting these from Rubies after all
Just because one prefers something to be all new and shiny doesn't make it alright to tell others looking for the correct details, i.e., accurate paintjob, in a replica helmet that they're spoiling for anyone, it means that they're expecting a better standard of accuracy that is not shown in the final product VS the displayed one
