Hi everyone,
I figured out what's been bugging me about the shape of the "Samurai" helmet on the 1:4 Sideshow Vader. Most of you already know that I strongly believe the helmet is 8-10% undersized. HOWEVER, the biggest problem with it is the actual shapes / contours. Rather than trying to explain it in words, I'll let these pics do the talking.
If this helmet was scanned, how could these VERY innacurate shapes have got into the sculpt? I know that Sideshow Andy mentioned that Lucasfilm asked for many changes to be made but why would they ask for such innacurate shapes to be incorporated into this? Lucasfilm completely baffles me. It's sad to see how good it COULD have looked if the correct shape had been left in the helmet.
