EFX Scout helmet arrived. Like I said before I wasn't expecting too much difference from what I've seen from collector's pics already.
The helmet is quite heavy, shiny and looks solid, coming with a nice COA, but is not as accurate as it could have been. The jaw flair and the big visor gap are the most prominent issues with this replica. My visor closes quite ok looking from sides, but looking from top it the gap is wider on one side than the other.
The visor itself has some accuracy problems as well. The snout is not that sharp, but was expecting to be softer so it is ok. The stand looks cheap, but seems reasonably steady and solid, still is definitely inferior to other EFX stands. Price is quite high for what you get in the end, especially for international collectors who weren't bribed by EFX with a free Vader helmet.
The overall appearance is ok, less accurate than RS Prop Masters and maybe even LoneWolf, and looks better than Altmanns, the other licensed high end Scout helmet. An ok replica, but inferior to previous EFX LE helmet replicas. It is not the worst Scout helmet out there, but definitely not the best.
Comparison EFX vs LoneWolf (LW) vs RS Prop Masters Scout Trooper Helmets:

That gap. Wow.
Come on, No one has an opinion on Anovos vs. RS helmets? I thought this was the internets!

Got my Hasbro BS Vader today. It's not as small as of expected after seeing lots of photos from others, the mask itself is bigger than the EFX PCR (although the neck is much shorter), the dome is a little smaller buy not by much and is pretty close to the Rubies Supreme dome size.
The eyes look too big in the photos, but in real life they're not far off the EFX size, the deep black eye rims make them look bigger than they actually are. They are nothing like the mess that Rubies made of the Supreme eyes.
Overall I'm really happy with it. Need more space though, I've got 2 helmets per shelf in my Pax now along with blasters, lightsabers, Marmit and Sideshow figures. And should have a Chef Scout helmet in a couple of weeks and a matching blaster to fit in ..

There is no comparison with RS. In the end I'm glad I have the RS. Will keep the EFX too, in the future I might sell it, there are always collectors of licensed replicas
These were delivered this week.

eFX really hit that PCR helmet out of the park. I sold my "apology helmet" to my cousin, technically getting my deposit I paid for the Legend back. But it is a beautiful piece. Congrats, & good luck on your build

At this rate, I think they need to send us another apology helmet.

They are perfect for mannequins because of the light weight. You really have to get up close and have one of the fiberglass ones next to it to spot the inaccuracies.
eFx should keep turning their pcr helmets out. No reason these shouldn't be in stock everywhere including local comic book shops, etc.

Yes the PCR Vader by eFX is very nice.

I'd like an ESB Vader if they made one.

That's awesome!
I'm not familiar with this one. Can you open the wings and display it on a stand?

You sure can! Cockpit and engines light up as well. Cockpit also rotates just like the studio scale model.
