Hopefully the production paintjob will be similar.
eFX - BO-KATAN KRYZE HELMET - LEGEND EDITION
- Thread starter j97e
- Start date
Why is it called a “Legend Edition”?

The helmet will be made as close as possible to how the original was made. In this case the helmet will be 3d printed because that is how the original was made. It will have an interior based on the actual helmet.
For those with more experience collecting helmets, do you expect EFX to ever sell a "Non Legend" fiberglass edition? I'm torn between this and the Denuo Novo edition. The EFX has a better paint job (on the prototype, at least), a movable range finder, and an absolutely gorgeous interior. But I simply don't trust 3D-printed objects at this scale to last more than 5-10 years. It's basically just plastic strings lightly welded together. I'd happily sacrifice some of the finer details in exchange for something that feels solid and durable.
I've had the Denuo Novo on preorder since the initial announcement. But I may end up going for this one once the first reviews start coming in. But I'd hate to do that, just to see a fiberglass EFX helmet appear later. I'd already be going from Black Series to Denuo Novo to EFX, which is pretty absurd.

It probably depends on how well the Legend Edition sells. I would be surprised if EFX makes another edition around the same price if the LE doesn't sell through the edition size quickly.

We will need to wait to see what the production made EFX and Denuo Novo helmets look like.
My guess is the Denuo Novo will have decals for the markings with weathering part of the decals and additional paint weathering added on top. The painted weathering will be fairly simple dabbing of paint to make the helmet look dirty and maybe simple chipping. The detailed weathering will be in the decals. I am basing this on how the Denuo Novo x-wing and Finn First Order helmets were weathered. I have not seen the helmets Denuo Novo has shown at conventions in person.
I believe the EFX shown has been a paint sample which could differ from the production made helmets. I can't think of any recent EFX helmets that is similar enough to the Bo helmet to speculate on how the markings and weathering will be done. The Armorer helmets don't have much detailed painting or markings.

The EFX Boba Fett's probably the closest thing to Bo in terms of weathering and details. I'm not sure what process they used for it though. I would imagine it would be similar process for both.

I would hope the Bo helmet would be better since the Fett was a PCR helmet at a lower price point.
Below is a comparison of the RS Prop Master lineage Fett (left) to the EFX PCR Fett (right). The weathering on the EFX is much more basic and too clean looking in the more solid color areas.

No I did not but I also understand as the original prop was 3D printed. This I believe will be a good one to have in your collection Howard with a WW edition of 500 and a finished interior. I ordered mine

Wicked appreciate the link, but I’m broke
For a massproduction helmet the EFX looks stunning next to the RS helmet.Its needs only some washes over the basic paintjob.

I agree the efx helmet is painted well for a PCR line helmet. It was much cheaper than the RS.
