Here is an overlay of a custom model i made based on the boba fett helmet using measurements from an EFX. Note that i made this model to more closely resemble the 1313 concept art, thinner center visor and more taper on the sides. but its pretty close to the original. (I also just realized i...

Not sure if this has been pointed out anywhere else, but I just overlayed the straight on shot of the new helmet and the original ESB helmet, and it literally looks like they scanned the original and stretched it from top to bottom by about 10%. That’s why the eye gap is wider top to bottom, the...

I actually did get a response but I don’t know what he is trying to say… I asked if there’s anything that can be done. Hey Michael I have forwarded these pictures to the factory. You are the only that has this issue. Where did you have this displayed? Since it has not been 1-1/2 years...

not the way to do business

i will try emailing them daily. its pretty annoying how bad they are. my fett helmet has a wiggle in the range finder and i cant figure out why, they absolutely wouldn't help with that either.

It does go back easily, but its wavy, it looks like its warped from being curled out. its not really bad but its noticable. not something i want on a collectible i paid $700 for

there is lots of warping in the ear even when i press it back in with my fingers

This is why I really wish EFX would email me back. The whole thing makes me nervous. I mean I regularly fix and paint things , but I don’t want to mess this up

never heard of e6000 but ill see if i can find some

agree

Nope I’m going to have to look for some

That’s a good thought. I never use tape with glue. I think it’s going to need to be epoxied and clamped. It really wants to lift. I really wish EFX would get back to me.

welp, i tried it, its not strong enough...

That is a good idea, i didn't think of that. Thank you

Has anyone else's EFX mando helmet had this happen? It really bugs me because I haven't touched it in months, its not near a source of heat and suddenly I see the ear is peeling off. It is flexible and goes right back into place if you hold it but it needs glue to stay. Im afraid to glue it...
