Good work, but so very heavy compared to the EFX

Something to note, the ear pieces do not seem to be made from stainless steel.
Upon closer inspection the ones on my helmet are actually rusting.

There are some comparison photos on the Facebook "Star Wars Helmet Collectors" group.Would be funny to see the EFX next to a Hasbro BS one!
I’ll include that in my video but I can already tell you the Hasbro is significantly larger.Would be funny to see the EFX next to a Hasbro BS one!
And while not to the same standards of a higher end prop replica, I still think Hasbro did a great job with the weathering, especially at their price point.

Thanks but I have no facebook so I cannot see the pictures.

Well, it seems they don't have any more replacements available.
I've been dealing with the retailer I bought it from for over a month. EFX finally told them that there are no replacement units left and EFX said they don't see anything wrong with mine. That's an interesting response because Larry at EFX told me 6 weeks ago that mine did appear to be an affected unit, based on the very same set of photos. I even sent them comparison photos to show how other people's helmets looked in better condition.
I'm trying to see if Spec Fiction can do a partial refund so I can justify having it repainted. I'm not very keen on having to turn an $800 helmet into a $1100+ helmet. They offered repairing it themselves per their policy, but I have no way of knowing how that would turn out.

Not that it's any consolation, but I ended up paying well over $1100 for the EFX helmet as it is (hooray importfees...), so having to pay to get it repainted might not be the worst thing if the helmet size is good. Another thing would be if the helmet size is too large or too small you could always opt to commission one of the many talented makers to make you one. Someone is bound to update their helmet 3d files soon with the EFX having a vastly different shape then their current 3d print files.

I've ended up returning mine after corresponding with the retailer for 3 months without being to replace or partially refund it.
Oh well. Maybe I'll find one cheap on ebay in the future and it'll be worth repainting it then. I have had no luck in selling my other Bo helmet. So I can't justify a repaint without either a partial refund or recouping the cost of my first helmet.
Something else I didn't notice until much later - the edge where the white on the forehead meets the blue is rather uneven, at least on mine. It's very noticeable on this side.

When I was stenciling mine, I found that a lot of the screen used helmets had nothing consistent with the white part
Every the owl eyes were sometimes all over the place
If yours had paint defects from being wrapped in plastic I would be upset, but that white line wouldn’t bother me too much
Again this is just me
Sorry you had such a struggle with it
