Contact Sideshow they will give you a replacement for that.
It amazes me that things like this slip through their quality control

hola, confirmo que mi darth vader también está bizco del ojo izquierdo,
esto es indignante. ¿que debemos hacer? , colgar al chino del control de calidad, quitar el ojo izquierdo al control de calidad de SS? :mad

Hi, I confirm that my darth vader is also squint the left eye,
this is outrageous. What should we do? , Hang the Chinese quality control, remove the left eye to quality control of SS?

Anyone happen to know exactly what the portrait is made of?
I can't tell...feels like a very light hollow resin...

 

[galactiboy]

I'm not sure, guess its probably just hollow polystone.

Feels somewhat similar the Jabba throne.

Still no word on mine so i've emailed them again, they must have loads of these coming back to be taking this long to reply.

I think the head is made of PVC or ABS. Polystone is much heavier. But only SS could offer us the real answer.

 

[risingstar]

Is the head made of some type of plastic?

I'm quite sure it is.

"..it is as I have foreseen...."

(but seriously good luck with the conversion)

 

[Globelicker]

I'm quite sure it is.

Frankly at this price tag, it would be hard to swallow if the head is really made of plastic (ABS or something).

I really hope Sideshow will clarify this point in the future.

The helmet is definatley plastic. Much like Iron Man 1:2 was made of Wafer.

Are you sure ? I doubt the helmet is entirely made of plastic since I didn't hear something related in the previous reviews from those who actually received it and had it between their hands, besides I remember some mentioned helmet was quite heavy which quite doesn't sound like if it was plastic.

And furthermore, I don't see why Master Replicas was able to pull out 1:1 scale helmets fully made of fiberglass and Sideshow couldn't do the same.

The head problem is different cause some of the reviewers told the head was surprisingly light, this is why some are doubting it is actually made of resin even if it was hollow. I really hope Sideshow didn't cut the corners as much as it appears.

 

[risingstar]

I would be surprised if the head and helmet were made of plastic, not at this price tag.

You have to understand that polystone is also plastic

 

[ComputerFly]

The head feels almost like a lightweight PVC product. The only thing that adds any weight to it at all is the black pieces around the neck, which are probably polystone.

The helmet feels like fiberglass and sounds like fiberglass when tapped. While it is pretty heavy, I think it's hollow cast.

You have to understand that polystone is also plastic

Actually I searched on the web a clear definition of the word polystone and it seems that it's far from being easy and comprehensive, some will say it's a compound made of resin and plastic, others resin and minerals, etc .. It appears it can depend on the use you will have with the final product made of this thing.

Though, I found an interesting link which can clarify some points about the different materials used for general collectibles:
