New Sgt Fang Helm Comparison Pics

TransMando

New Hunter
Hi everyone,

Just received one of the new Sgt Fangs. My girlfriend has one of the older ones so I thought everyone might like to see some comparison pictures. The helmets are not perfectly lined up because I took the pictures quickly. Just wanted to give a general idea of what they look like. Let me know what else you want to see.

The new Fang is on the left, the old one is one the right.

i can barely tell the differences except for the mold seamline from the old one.

reason enough to get one of these helmets. glad to hear the new mold is done
 
I agree, I would want one of the old ones.

it looks to me that the old helmet has a bit more flare to it

That flare is incorrect; it looks like either the helmet got warped when he recast the Mystery Helmet he won off E-Bay or the original E-bay helmet was already warped. I can't say for certain which—it's been awhile since he first presented the "pre-recast."
There is more info in this thread regarding the "flare" misconception: http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/showpost.php?p=329829&postcount=7
 
if you shoot at 50mm its will take the distortion out. Also it really depends on the lens u have. ANything below 40mm you will get barrel distortion.
 
Hey Everyone I have taken better comparison pictures with some details.

New Fang is on the left and the older Fang is on the right.

These pictures aren't perfect, I am not much of a photographer, but I hope the pics do the helmets a little bit more justice.

Peace.

Yikes! is that bulge at the base of the helmet as bad as it looks? Looks like the mold needs a repair, or a do-over.
