hot toys rotj owners - how do you feel the production piece's helmet/armor weathering compares to the proto/promo pics from ht? pretty close?
People are saying it’s not accurate. It seems based on movie still the ESB bucket was much wider at the bottom. Other things too like the visor not the right shape.
It might be worth sending this picture along as well to remind Hot Toys that both triangle indents above the visor should both actually be triangles as opposed to one triangle and...well...a not fully formed triangle.

Here's one. Opposite angle, but still close enough.

Yes. Looks better, but still misses some of the so important flare. Though it does have some flare.
You should also be able spot the issues with the visor, the weird little not-triangle above the visor, and the shape of the dent isn't quite right either.
“They wanna see more Flair?! Here! C’mon! Woooooo!”

Pretty spot on actually. When I received the figure I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. I ordered the deluxe and planned on displaying the ESB look and selling my Sideshow one. Now I'm just going to keep it and have the HT displayed promo style..since HT isn't fixing the ESB helmet. The Sideshow version definitely has the more accurate shape.hot toys rotj owners - how do you feel the production piece's helmet/armor weathering compares to the proto/promo pics from ht? pretty close?
lol - if you heat up the helmet and try to bend it, it'll just crack apart. It's ABS plastic..so it has no give like PVC plastic.Was just thinking. Since the helmet, in the movie, rests on his neck (at least when he looks up a bit) - and I’m sure it won’t on the figure - Maybe heating the helmet up and bending the back (and maybe the front) inwards a bit would get the helmet to flare a bit more? Kind of like the flare was actually a mistake in the making of the actual helmet.
That pretty much answered my question then... dammit I want FLARE!!!lol - if you heat up the helmet and try to bend it, it'll just crack apart. It's ABS plastic..so it has no give like PVC plastic.
