For $1000 that helmet had better be fully functional as armor, along with having a HUD connected to Bluetooth and eye-tracking button selection.
@DanakarEndeel2 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I noticed that the EFX doesn't have any interior detailing at all. So it's apparently just a fibreglass shell that can only be displayed but never actually worn. If I buy a helmet I want to put it on my head. Just like if I bought a lightsaber hilt I want to put electronics in it and swing it around (I have a Qui-Gon Jinn replica saber and a custom one for my own Jedi character "Danakar Endeel") So forking over $1000 for a nonfunctional prop with fake 'lineage' prop versus a $100 one; I'm going for the $100 one as the EFX just feels incredibly overpriced and only banking on it being a recast from a screen-used helmet. Now if they were actually made from the original mould I'd agree that there's lineage but this one was apparently a mould from a screen-used helmet. But that's just my opinion. 😉

@@DanakarEndeel there’s a huge difference between a prop and a toy lol. Hasbro are toys not really for collecting. The props are screen accurate as well as material being used for them. Closest thing that it gets to actually owning the screen used ones.

@@anthonyrhodes2141 Well, if you want to waste it on a prop with fake lineage then you are more than welcome to do so as I'm not going to tell you how to spend your money. 😉 I'd rather spend my money on 10 Black Series helmets of $100 each so I have a nice collection to look at while you have your $1000 EFX *recast* with fake lineage. 😜

I have both the Mando and Boba Fett black series helmets and both are just awesome for their price. Did a very light coffee weathering on both to give them some dirt in the seams and break the "fresh out of the factory" look of the mando helmet and honestly, I really think they look about as good as any replica I've ever seen, plus they have an actual cool interior... Definitively the best bang for your buck. Plus coffee weathering is reversible if ever have to sell them.

I’m so surprised that for literally $1,000 EFX did so little to a helmet. I get the draw to have a “screen used helmet casted replica” but at that point it seems like a pissing contest. There is no comparison because the black series is just a better buy. I have 5 Hasbro black series lightsabers that are licensed and graced by Hasbro that look like garbage compared to 3rd party hilts. The other hilts do look more like they’re supposed to. But sometimes the better option/choice is the cheaper one. If you have it, by all means go for it, it just seems silly because visually and functionally, there’s no debate.

Definitiv der Hasbro Helm! Fairerweise muss man sagen, dass der EFX Helm gebaut wurde, als es noch keine echte Konkurrenz gab - und dafür war er gut. Aber das Design des Hasbro Helms überzeugt auf ganzer Linie und sollte jemand noch die Wettereffekte nacharbeiten, dann übertrumpft er den EFX bei weitem. Den Part auf der Rückseite kann ich nicht beurteilen; ich habe zwar die Serie gesehen, kann mich aber an dieses Detail nicht erinnern. Klasse Video - das wird einer Menge Leute einen Haufen Geld sparen ^^
