On rare occasion HT does in fact improve things -- like adding hair to ESB Yoda. It is possible that this helmet was improved previously but not in time for proto photos.
We'll all know soon enough.
I hope you're right. I doubt they would have been touting how great their severely incorrect new helmet was on Instagram and Facebook if they had already make a better helmet. Then again, who knows? Maybe they fast tracked the fixes on this one. As you said, we'll all know soon enough.
