No issues...they are just really thin material. ..I'd just advise care when posing him.
No worries.
I'll be very interested to see how it turns out.
One of kind... TWO! Two-of-kind only!
So an update on the melted Vader helmet that arrived damage from eBay. Good and bad as it turns out. The seller offered to replace the helmet, which is good and it arrived in perfect shape today, which is also good, but the fact that he was able to do this with a rare custom item I find a little strange, so I’m thinking it may be a recast. The original helmet and stand I got from him came with a Creg certificate of authenticity so can’t say for sure.
I’ve seen some of the original ones, and I think the helmets had an ashy look to them that I thought might have been dust, but I think that was intentional now and for obvious reasons. The one I got is pretty much flat black.
So anyhow, I’m very happy it’s resolved and it looks great, though now a bit dubious about the item’s legitimacy. I’ll post some pics with Ren when I get a chance later this week.
Sounds fishy right enough.
I'd still love to see pics.
If I’m not mistaken, the melted Darth Vader helmet appeared in the first trailer for TFA. That was nearly a year out from the film, and at least six months before preorders went up for the Hot Toys figures. They could’ve made it happen. Kylo Ren probably would’ve sold better too. It’s an enticing piece, and it looks great in TonTon’s display there!
