EFX Helmet Pics at Celebration 9

[hvacdon]

Here's some cropped shots of the EFX prototype helmet on display at their booth. When I talked to the rep, he was a new guy so he could say when it would be in production....

Thanks hvacdon. I guess you gotta add your own white paint smudge.

Excellent pics, Don!

I'm no expert, and probably won't ever be, but I think they could have done a better job on the paint. I realize it's a prototype and the
production model could easily be different, but I would think the prototype would normally be the "The Crown Jewel" especially if you were going to display it for everyone to see for the first time !! I might be going down the wrong road on this, I've been known to be wrong once before, maybe more if you talk to the wife ??

Thanks Eric !!

Thanks, for the pics, Don!

Looks like it’s already up for preorder at Bait. I guess it’s a decent price and I hope the production version is better. Guess I’ll see since I went ahead and bit the bullet. Just a heads up, preordering at bait you have to pay up front. Fingers crossed I get it this decade.

Hey Will,

I'm really interested in how the finished helmet looks! If digital pictures are still being used by the time you receive it, hopefully you can post some pics !! The guy I talked with was being evasive on any time frame comments, makes you wonder ?

 

[ConvergenceProp]

Whatever silver they’re using looks way to dark compared to the other colors

 

[Misfit2]

I give it a solid 4 out of 10

 

[hvacdon]

Yeah, somewhere around there....I guess they're not to interested in making it look to good for the price they want for it !

The paintwork was always going to be debatable. It's the size and shape that interests me.

Hey, Don. I’ll be sure to put it under good lighting and get some quality pictures. That’s a bit shady they don’t have a time frame. They’ve been working an ESB Fett helmet for about seven years, I’m surprised we’re seeing anything at all.

It's VERY light weight. (injection molded plastic). The die cast ears felt the heaviest part of the helmet.

The one at Celebration Chicago was from the factory, not Dom's painted prototype anymore. According to the owner, Bryan Ono, it's shipping in June/July. An interview BFFC contributor James Clarke did from the floor:

Do you know which places are offering preorders? Or if they have this news on the website?

According to Bryan Ono, BAIT is the exclusive retailer in the United States to start. Amerang has the international exclusive, also for now. I see it's on Zavvi as well but they've marked it up in price from the $379 MSRP.

Update on the efx site now says August.
There are some interesting shots of the injection molding process, too.
