Doesn't matter. They will sell an a-load regardless. :lol
Exactly,
Why don't the sculptors come here for advise from the masters ( not me) so they can get honest thoughts BEFORE producing it...hummm

Most people wouldn't care.
Well... most of the time they have to sculpt what they are told, regardless of accuracy. Also... the sculptors are likely within the hobby - or at least the sculpting/model kit hobby.Exactly,

Thats exactly right. So long as its "roughly" accurate the vast majority of people are entirely happy. Ahhh, ignorance is bliss!
Joking aside I can understand why people do get so angry. SSC's "goggle-eyed" 3PO lifesize was pretty-darn frustrating

That there is the troof. These things are NEVER up to the standards of our community. The people who collect these things never really care that this or that is off. "Hey, it's Boba Fett...cool", and that will be the end of that.That's for the casual collector with $$ to spare, not the serious collector.
I can understand this argument to a degree Jez but i can't help thinking that those majority of people who don't see the innacuracies would be equally happy with something closer to accurate.
I can understand the argument that the general public want something that looks decent and not something shoddily built like many original props but they could make some attempt to make a sturdy well built replica that at least cosmetically matches the original.
I agree with you 100%. Irrespective of its inaccuracies it also annoys the hell outta me that they painted the visor black and theyve made the helmet unwearable.
There's no way they could make the helmet wearable. It would then infringe on EFX's license.

I am just trying to imagine that in Philip Wise's collection, since he seems to collect virtually one of EVERYTHING from Star Wars... Compared to the life-size figure members of the Dented Helmet created for him, I would be embarrassed to display this piece....
I would agree that it's pretty bad, but also of note is that if anyone said as much for a forum member's work that'd be a bannin'. All too easy to pick on the corporate entity (*I don't work for Sideshow). I also can't pretend to know Sideshow's priorities. However, the list of individual efforts that are on par with this Sideshow bust is without end as if criticizing an individual is offensive but criticizing a manufactured product is somehow victimless. Show me something with a degree of accuracy from any website, and I'll show you a hundred more that are pure garbage that the owner is grinning from ear to ear to own. The happiness of the owner is the decision point, not any critique here. I'm happy for whomever this makes happy. Boba Fett is quite an inspirational character however you choose to enjoy it.
