Hi! Long time lurker, first time poster. I received my Viper helmet today and I'm very impressed with it. It feels like an actual piece of military equipment and not a prop at all. Its a bit of a tight fit, but it does fit on my large head. The only problem I had was that the plaque that was supposed to have two signatures on it only had Richard Hatch's and not Dirk Benedict's. I got it through RedFordFilms, so they are going to look into it.

ha ha, In the world of coin collecting that would make it MORE valuable (flaws in production)
Just ordered mine last week. I think I read somewhere the next batch is shipping in April/May.
I'll admit a nitpick I have with this helm is that the covers for the lights are clear and not frosted like the original ones. Why did they make it so great then not do those correctly?

I wish that were true, but... It says
"Save an extra 20% on all IN stock Items"
wait a sec....it says on their site...ships in 1-2 days.
maybe they have an allotment of them already?
you'd get it cheaper and now......already put my deposit down at eFX...damn.

me neither. I've heard they don't communicate until it's ready and you pay the remaining balance.

Darn! Decided to pull the trigger on one of these from Redford with the 20% off but, alas, I was too slow and are no longer in stock!

I finally got around to taking a few pics of mine. I'm not going to brag about my photography skills. The plaque is a little blurry, but you can see the missing signature. If you're a BSG fan, I highly recommend this item. I've got a Kropserkel Cylon helmet that is hopefully shipping in a couple of weeks. This ought to look good paired up with it.

Agggh, these gorgeous unboxing shots have seduced me, just ordered one. AND I've been looking at glossy black mannequin heads, very Egyptian looking, quite fitting. I'm so easily influenced.
QUESTION: looking at the original hero prop in the "profiles in history" auction listing, the gold crest seems to have had a brown wash "antique" effect that I really like. Is there a non-destructive way to add this effect that can be wiped off later, so as not to permenantly alter the replica?

You won't regret your purchase. Its an awesome piece.
Just my opinion, but I wouldn't add anything to the crest. It looks great the way it is.

Its 12" wide at its widest point and around 11.5" high. These are the measurements of the outside of the helmet, which is what I assume you wanted.
