Gives me hope. I preordered in October, still no email from eFx though. Fingers crossed.

How do you do that? Do you need to remove the heavy factory tape first before you put in the fiberglass?
I think it looks great.It has all paint details like they showed on the expo.Its cheap plastic yes...but I put 2 thin layers of black fiberglass in mine and have a great Bobahelmet for a good price.

Yes, photos are appearing from collectors in HK who have received them. Looks like the paint apps are excellent although I'm still very interested to see how Hasbro's compares as they are a much larger company and probably have access to some top level factories out there who could surpass the efx factory paintjobs. We'll see. Great that they're actually shipping now. Looks like my BAIT order for this and my RS Propmasters order for the Scout Trooper helmet will end up arriving at similar times. Cool!
I must look whats better from the space inside when I have one in hand.But normally nothing can ever move in this helmet when the fiberglass is hard.
When the visor is bad I will also remove it for a better quality one.

I ordered a few and will be fiberglassing as soon as I receive my orders from bait. I’ll make a thread showing the process so others can get a step by step guide. Hopefully the resin doesn’t eat the plastic lol

Just curious why folks are looking to fiberglass these? Are the helmets wobbly?

Eh seems kind of unnecessary IMO. Even if you're planning to troop with it for 501st or just for fun, a plastic helmet beats out a fiberglass helmet in terms of durability. My Montross helmet is all cold cast fiberglass, heavy and I cannot even think about what would happen if I dropped it by accident. My ABS Snowtrooper helmet(s) on the other hand have dropped, and simply bounced around like nothing even happened.
The EFX PCR Vader is really very thin plastic.It looks great...but feels very cheap.

I actually like my special edition PCR Vader compared to most of the fiberglass vaders I've owned.
I had the MR Fett and once I heard about the pinched visor on these boards, I couldn't unsee it and I sold it. I am really digging this one...hard to find a reason to complain. My only wish is that the inside didn't look so unfinished, but I can remedy that.

Yes, seems like an blank canvas to create your own custom interior. Looking forward to seeing what you do with yours.
