I think RS Scout will still remain the best.
When I got the photos yesterday didn't realize they used the cheap acrylic stand from the PCR helmets, thought the base was from those but the rod was a full circular rod, but instead we got this
LE's are made out of Fiberglass, and Legends out of ABS. Supposedly
Yes this stands are looking very cheap.But you can buy cast of the good old ones on ebay.
Something looks wrong to me when I look on the pics of the helmet..the snout greeblie looks very soft casted also.
left EFX..right my RS..look at the small details on the lower section of the snout.

Seems some EFX helmets did have a logo on them, see the weird chrome version:

And if this is the stand we are getting with the Scout then, well, I think I'll use a custom one.

Looks like the angle of the visor is much steeper on the eFX. But that could be lens distortion from the camera being so close. The face looks thin too.

I had totally forgotten that these EFX clean versions were made out of fiberglass.
As its took all these years to produce the fiberglass one, i don't believe we will ever receive the ABS version and i wouldn't be surprised if EFX already know that we will never receive them.

I'm with Keith on this one .
They are too,hard to build to be commercially viable, especially if you are relying on Chinese craftsmen to construct them to a time schedule.

Not right at all. Those chinese craftsmen did a not so bad job on the first batch of build Anovos ST helmets. I got a lot of much worse done stuff from the US.

No - nothing
As jkno and others have said, it’s not as accurate as the RS (which I’m really glad I already have). I’ve not personally handled the lone wolf but that also looks better than the EFX too. As soon as they announced the Limited would be fiberglass four years ago it was clear it was never going to be "THE" most accurate. Then they announced the Legend in ABS but clearly realised too late it was a bigger task than they could easily undertake - so kept delaying hoping problems would resolve themselves.
Very disappointing.

I think it was never the plan to build the Legend version the same way like the Originals.They will only use the ORIGINAL material.That is ABS plastic.So I think the legend will have the same feeling like the PCR Vaderhelmets.So I think this version could look a lot better in shape as this wonky fiberglass version.

Well, that was underwhelming. At least EFX got a new logo design, so there's that
