It would be interesting to see the vent area of the wooden mold. Something must have happened to the last two vents on the mold that was used to make the first prop store helmets vents to be the way they are. I don't think anyone is saying that helmet is not accurate or screen used are they?
Was the wooden mold used to make all the helmets, or was that a master that another mold was made from? Where is the original face mold anyway?
If the original mold has not had any repair work done on the vents, then for me, it's the first prop store helmet that is the strange one. How can a damaged looking "double" vent turn back into two single vents?
The RS original only has 7 vents, but it's possible more vents could have been added to the mold AFTER some helmets had already been made. You can't look at the original mold and say it never had fewer vents.

This is my first purchase from EFX and while I knew they had something of a reputation for delays, I was willing to give them the benefit of a doubt. While the delays have now gone beyond the realm of absurdity even for me, what bothers me the most is the lack of updates and communication. They say they update us when they have something to report, but if there have been no developments worth updating us about in 6 months, there is certainly a serious problem here. Personally, I now think they had no intent to have these helmets ready by Sept/Oct 2014. I just don't see how they could've been so off on their delivery projections. I think the supposed "preorders" were nothing more than seed money to start development and they were in reality nowhere close to being ready. These helmets were clearly not as far along as we were led to believe.
Actually it'll be super easy for me... To NOT
im firmly in the fed up camp. I'm debating trying to get a refund for my scout. I half doubt they'll even be willing to refund me.
they need new management or manufacturers. Whatever the problems are... They need fixed.
I'll preorder a fix...

I would struggle to pull the trigger on anything eFX just now with all the delays.
However if they were offering a Stormtrooper guaranteeing it was being vacuum formed in plastic (Hero helmet as well vac formed) from all original screen pieces I would find it hard not to buy it.
Which I realise sounds crazy as I have other troopers in my collection that are very good and I know how eFX do business.
I hear ya. I would still give up a body part to get a RMQ Vader Helmet and Luke Reveal Saber back, despite the super cheapo lenses one the Vader.
lol:lol
