To me, the only thing that makes the EG unhelmeted head look bigger is the hair and the neck is maybe 1-2mm longer. The eyes, nose and chin appear to line up just fine.
I dont' think there's any doubt that the newer helmet head is smaller than the older ones. What I'm saying is the older heads were too big based on what I see in hand with the figures/heads I have and even in the photo below. I have no problem going the custom route if I need to but I just don't feel that way on this one. Even almost got Jaxon's EG helmeted sculpt but decided against it. I personally feel Unreal's lacks detail (especially in the paint and doesn't = the $400 price tag) and the nose is way too bulbus. We could probably keep beating this dead horse to no end
but good thing is, we have options so everyone can have the look they prefer.
