Sadly every part of this helmet is wrong. Sorry Hasbro... :thumbsdown
It's like they can't use an original helmet for this toy and have to resculpt a different new one for license reasons...

I can't believe you think that has lineage to it. This is where it came from. I'm 100% sure.

Hey you can't write that.
Your taking away everyone's right to complain about everything Star Wars.
But yes, I agree with you.
Definitely looks like concept drawings.

Lol. Not with that sculpt.
What sculpt? They haven't shown it yet.

He is referring to the original concept images. If that is what we get then its a deal breaker for me and not worth what they will charge. That sculpt is so far off and so not as well done as the other Black Series helmets.
But well have to wait and see what a production helmet looks like.
Everyone keeps calling these concept paintings or artwork. If these are coming this spring, these are renders or photos of the preproduction prototype, if not the final. They’ve got to be getting tooling finalized. This is what we’re getting, aside from minor tweaks to greeblies and specs.

If this is what we really are getting then Hasbro has shot the baby while blinded by the end goal product. How can they do so well up until now? Im really convincing my self that is not what we are getting.
Well, let me put it this way.
Based on the sculpt or “concept images” here’s the lot of things that would need to change to be approved as a basic approval in the Legion
1. Neck brace, gone.
2.helmet, resized and rescaled
3. lenses replaced
4. Chin vent reworked
5. Mouth reworked
6. Cheeks reworked
7. Teeth reworked
8. Neck elongated and reshaped
9. Flash guard and mouth guards added
Now that’s just what I can tell from these images. Who knows about the tusks, cheek tubes or other details. For me this is more work than modifying a rubies and a modded rubies hasn’t been approved in a very long time.
Why bring this up now? Cuz if you really care about approval get on someone’s waiting list today and you’ll have an approvable helmet hopefully by the time these ship. If you care about cost a DU is like what, $400?
Shortcuts aren’t the way to put together Vader.
Great art is always in demand.
Crap is always in stock.

Maybe, but who knows when this was created? Just because we are just seeing this now, doesn't mean it was created recently. But, I'm still baffled as to why the art is so "off". We will just have to wait and see.
Has there been artist's renderings for all of these SW black series helmets? If so, maybe look back to see the accuracy of those vs. the final.

For whatever reason, Vader's helmet is the hardest thing to get close to looking accurate for all toy companies.
I actually went through the trouble of modeling in Blender a Vader helmet to 3d print so I could have a more accurate one for my Jakks Big Fig Vader.
Mine isn't perfect, but I definitely think it's better than it was.

All of the pictures are 3D renderings, not photos. I REALLY hope the manufacturing shakes out something better. I have screen accurate Vaders for the legion, but I want a Rubies Supreme set with this helmet as a knock around collector item and Halloween costume.

The final Star Lord helmet looks better than the initial renders, I'm sure this will too. I don't expect high accuracy though, just something I can actually mess around with without fear of dropping it and damaging it.
Fresh from Facebook! Hopefully this is the real deal:
