EFX Mandalorian Helmet Season 2

Eck… the more I hear this the more I think it won’t fit me
I don't have an unusually large head or nose and unfortunately this just doesn't fit how I'd like. I'll be returning the EFX to SS and most likely snag a Denuo Novo. It's more idealized which I prefer over screen lineage.

You don’t happen to know the measurement of your head do you?
 
Well my new to me helmet is going under the knife. As I got it you can see the mandibles were not in line. I have ripped the interior out literally, removed the visor and now have a stabilizer in place with the mandibles in a better position. I am either going to simply put a new visor and liner in or go full blown restoration. I haven’t decided yet.
As a whole… I actually really like the helmet. It just isn’t as good as it should be.

A thin layer of fiberglass from the inside now would hold it in shape forever.The best is to tape the front in shape from the outside and work inside. (y)
 
Excuse my ignorance.. but a fiberglass helmet would be thinner then resin right?

It SHOULD be, but wherever and by whoever these were cast they made them extremely thick with the gel coat. I would actually argue these are heavier than most resin helmets I own. I have an epoxy Vader helmet that is almost twice the size as these guys and is literally lighter than them. They are not done well, at all.
 
It just makes putting it on easier if it’s thinner for me, idk think I have fat cheeks.. maybe I do? But I do seem to have a large squish, which makes helmets hit or miss for me..
 
I got mine and it has a number of issues. The mold must have not been seated in the mother properly. There are a few warps on mine. The paint is so/so. The biggest disappointment is the the left and right cheeks are misaligned and it’s really noticeable. Everyone that sees the helmet noticed that immediately.
I have sent in my request for exchange email but no response from EFX.
 
im wondering why all the quality control issues?
I had a very similar issue with my Anovos last year. That one I’m stuck with. I hope EFX will respond letting me exchange.
At least it wasn’t just my luck. In a perverse way it’s comforting to know the problem is common.
A very sad state of affairs.
