Does anyone know about this seller?

[captain avenger]

THis guy is selling unpainted, semi-accurate casts of clone trooper helmets on ebay. have any of you heard of/bought from him? the helmet is only $20 so i don't know about the quality, and i don't want to buy a recast. any advice? (Also: Mods, if this is the wrong section to post this in, feel free to move the thread) here's the link:Star Wars Clone Trooper EP3 Costumes Helmet Handmade | eBay

The whole helmet is so disproportioned it's not funny. Definitely a recast of something.

Ouch! It almost hurts to look at that. I know it's only 20 bucks, but it looks so....incorrect. It almost looks like a redo of the Kellogg's helmet.
However, if this guy can improve his accuracy to the actual prop....I'd probably buy from him, even at twice the price.

looks like the whole thing is vac formed or is that just me ??

That's what I thought when I saw it

yep 5 piece vac form by the looks of it which is probably why the detail isn't too crisp possibly a home made machine without enough suction

Pretty much anything out of China you want to avoid since most of the stuff is recast, especially when it comes to resin or vinyl models.
In most cases if it's cheap it's a copy.

It looks like they took a Phase 1 helmet from Habsro, and slapped a home made Phase 2 mouth piece.
