This looks like a relatively poorly hand-painted prototype to me. The brush marks are pretty bad. I assume that Hasbro just didn't think about hiring one of TDH's skilled painting-masters for this prototype. I'm certain that the factory ones will look a LOT different. We'll see whether the factory paintjob will look better or worse in Spring of 2020. Let's just hope that they used the ESB Hero helmet itself as their paint template and not.. This.
It does look hand painted. Although some of the areas look like decals or stickers. The whole killstripe run appears to be a decal, as well as the black arch on the RF ear.
I guess only time will tell how the production piece will look.
Well it’s (the PCR) slightly different then an FPH2. But similar enough size wise. Compared to a GMH it’s larger. It’s a plastic helmet like the hasbro and the target helmet.
Thanks for posting these. I'm glad to see there's been some progress. As always, I'm more interested in the shape than the paint job but at least it looks like they're making a decent stab at this.
Well it’s almost the end of August. No updates from EFX on a revised shipping date. No surprise from there history lol. What are your thoughts? Think that some first shipments have made the August release or are they getting pushed out to the year 2145 ?
So now it’s coming from Hong Kong to efx in California then to bait? I’m guessing. Although now it’s up on the efx site.. I have it ordered from bait. Lol I’m betting I won’t see it tel December..
