PLEASE take a pic. The inside of the PP3 is really no different than any of the other original helmets... the visor is held in with the screw and tab system and has white duct tape around the edges for additional support.

Is the liner glued in... Or velcro, or just kinda sit in there...?
EDIT-
Nevermind, just saw CD's post.

Thanks to Rebelscum's pics, I see the extra ledge Count Dookie is talking about... The original helmet, like all the other original helmets, look nothing like that. It appears to me that the mandibles were left extra thick (probably for the sake of durability), but that was a decision made by MR or the production team. It is NOT the way the original mandible are in the PP3.

I was thinking it was there to cover any gaps after the gluing of a visor. Everytime I glue a visor in, I get a little bit of a gap right there. The guys that bolt the visors in don't seem to have this problem. I assume they did glue the visor in, right? Or am I totally wrong? lol...
You do realize the original helmets contain gaps, right? Some more than others...

Yeah, I know... I try to close them up though for the sake of light passing through. I just thought that maybe they were thinking along the same lines.

The visor in MR helmet is actual held in by real tiny phillips head screws and then the interior liner covers everything up!

Then I have no clue, I guess. I'm just trying to reason with myself that its okay, so I don't have to grind it off... lol...

They held the clone helmet visors in the same way.

Even the MR UK exclusive stormtrooper helmets lenses are held in with small philips head screws

Okay, just set my new MR helmet down next to the DP 95 helmet I did for my son. I quicly realized that I am not going to be happy with the new MR helmet unless I add some more detail. I probably put too much detail on my son's helmet, but the MR is just a bit too clean for me - seems too deliberate in the weathering. Anyway, still have to finish Darth before I start this project so I will have to live with it for a bit.
I will see if I can bring a camera into my office next week and take a side by side shot.

That extra lip/ledge/thickness added in there you guys are talking about, almost looks like it was a deliberate "thickness" added so that they would have something to screw "into" when mounting the visor, without the screws popping through to the other side, this would also give the "added durability" that Art spoke of as a benefit. Just a thought anyway ...
Either way .. it has to go

Man, its probably just me, but I dont have the cohones to modify/ mess with a brand new MR anything...I just like to keep it as is, for its value really...

Yeah, I have paid more for armor and helmets that I have totally modified. I am the one who will be wearing it (or displaying it) and want to be happy with it. I don't really care about resale value, but do know that it is a concern for some.

i'm surprised that there haven't been any all new original sculpted fett helmets popping up on ebay with surprising similarities to this one.
