there was nothing wrong with the OP's review. He openly admitted to not knowing about accuracy. His review was in regards to expectations. Go to and https://www.anovos.com/collections/...-lt-oxixo-imperial-tie-pilot-helmet-accessory and tell me were it says:
Exact filming production standards
Will be wonky
Flimsy to the touch
Not made to be lopsided but once put in the non accurate liner, it were throw it out of whack
What is does say is: Helmet is created from visual reference of the original prop
Which means they had some pictures. Well guess what. We fans have had pictures of these props for 40 years and still finding new details.
They never promised or indicated the materials they utilized are exact. They could have used a better quality ABS so that it would not be flimsy and not be distorted once the NON-ACCURATE liner/adjustment system is put in place.
An Anovos customer should be able to go to the website, see the images, read the description and have a decent expectation of what they want. I hate to tell you all this but not everyone who wants to buy a helmet is coming to RPF or even interested in props and costumes as a hobby AND THEY DO NOT NEED TO BE ONE. Most people just want an item of what they perceive on screen, not a history lesson and THAT SHOULD BE THE CASE.
So what are you saying: Anovos could post Clone armor for sale and they could actually deliver a green spandex suit with ping pong balls attached?
No company would deliberately say their product will be wonky and flimsy.....I know I wouldn't if I had the same company. They could have used better wordage to convey all that. But there has been a TON of information out there over the years the that explain how the originals where made....and if you or the average Joe Shmo had a vague idea on how they were made the Anovos description as is would be enough to indicate what you would receive. I knew right away what the final product would be like since I was not ignorant and was in the know about the original Star Wars props.
Research is an important factor when buying high dollar items. I never go blind into buying something that expensive with out a little bit of asking around. It would only set you up for disappointment when you thought it was one thing when in fact it was something else. There is always more to things in life then what meets the eye or wallet in this case.
