Power Ranger Helmets - Aniki or Kamen Rider?

[HappenstanceUK]

Hey everyone.

I'm looking to get myself a nice quality Power Rangers helmet (thinking either white or gold ranger at the moment) and was wondering if anyone had any experience with either Aniki or Kamen Rider's work? From watching a load of Youtube videos I've noticed quite a few people mention how "snug" the Aniki helmets are but I've not really been able to find any information on how big the Kamen Rider ones are. I've got a largish head so want to make sure these would actually fit before I spend any money on them. I've seen how Aniki extends his helmets and I didn't like the look of it so would rather avoid that.

Go Aniki. There may be a wait, it may cost more but it's gonna be worth it. I have a Kamen Rider Green Ranger helmet and when I opened up my package the Hammer had a paint chip. There were areas where the paint wasn't done super neat. Like some of the black that's used for all the outlining of the teeth crossing onto areas it's not supposed to. Also lots of paint runs although I think it may be the clear coat that ran. All in all from 5-10 feet away it looks awesome. Up close you can see all the mistakes and problems. It's almost like it was rushed. I bought the helmet for David Jason Frank to sign at Comicon and since I did it last minute o couldn't afford the wait for an Aniki because I didn't want to get it late so I went Kamen Rider. I've seen lots of positive reviews on YouTube and pics that look nice but on your hands it's different. They even sent me pics of the helmet before they shipped and it looked awesome but once I had it.....well you get the picture. So I had JDF sign the visor so I can order and Aniki and just swap out the visors.

One thing to know about these helmets are the origin of the cast. screen or hero casts will be made for smaller heads. the screen being the smallest and the stunt being a tad bigger and less detailed. fan sculpts can come in vast ranges so I recommend asking what the inner circumference of the helmet your interested in is. If your looking for white I Wildranger5 has a screen white ranger mold. and his work by far is leaps and bounds better then aniki. aniki is awesome dont get me wrong but be ready to wait a good chunk of time. rangerboard is a great place to find all the different vendors and tons of reviews
