Right - he is not doing them anymore to my knowledge, but an EFX repaint by Mr Mold Maker is as good as it gets for a Din Mando lid.
EFX Mandalorian Helmet Season 2

Heh I’m sorry to hear ya got stuck with it..
Dang I was unaware of this
He is a amazingly talented painter
I was incredibly lucky to get his paintjob on my SeanBradley resin cast. It is hands down my all-time favorite prop I own.
What makes it worse it's the same problems with the V2 with crooked scribes and paint issues being the same problems with the V1.
Not cool at all…

I have been drooling over Mr Mold Maker’s work and would love to see his take on what a season 2 helmet should look like.
When I get my replacement I hope he can be convinced, bribed, paid handsomely to refinish my S2.

Here is my comparison between the EFX S2 and the Anovos helmets. EFX on the left. Anovos on the right.

You can see that both companies seem to have trouble with the left side (If you are wearing the helmet.) cheek, or what ever the technical term is for it. Neither of my helmets line up correctly.
I dont even think the colour is that bad on the EFX, its the super glossy clearcoat. It washes out all the lines and detail, and lacks definition.

It’s difficult to tell in my photos I think. The clear coat on the Anovos is a lot thicker. The EFX is fairly thin. It seems they did a single thin wet coat layer on the EFX. The Anovos has a very thick coating. In some areas it was so thick that the clear coat formed drips.
Im not a painter. But can see the differences.

Even though I will basically destroy this thing with criticism as it's unacceptable that they used the screen used master and yet still softened some areas, trimmed some areas, etc... I will defend it just a little by saying that aspect is on the show's helmets as well, although Anovos did a much better job at replicating it. I believe the helmet itself is meant to be symmetrical, but once you trim it and start actually putting the visors into these guys, even if you try your best to get it perfect, it doesn't always line up perfectly symmetrical unfortunately. I can forgive the little bit of that on the anovos, it's not terrible, I can't forgive how bad and wide it is on the Efx.

The plaque for my efx Season 1 helmet is 4 1/2 inches x 1 3/4 inches.
Thanks buddy. Unfortunately I had to rip the liner out of mine to redo the visor. I am going to repaint it this spring and then figure out how I want to redo the liner.
