Has anyone else seen this yet??

So I was farting around on FB tonight and someone posted a picture of the new EPVII stormie helmet prop that someone was selling (didn't the pic barely surface like a week ago?). Anyway, I was stunned to see it already being offered, so I went to their Etsy store that was linked only to find out that it belonged to our 'friends' at SFP. Not sure how they were able to come up with one so fast. Can't really say it looks all that great, but I digress. So I started poking around to see what other stuff they had and found a GM helmet they were offering (I wasn't able to find any armor, so I'm guessing that they haven't started making it yet). It's the first time I've ever seen it.

Thoughts?

I haven't seen it before. Thanks for sharing. Regarding the shape and details, the helmet doesn't look very accurate. Heatshock or yours are way more accurate. I have my doubts about the cowl too, being the faceplate that short. I had that problem too and had to extend the faceplate down to provide a smooth and rounded surface for the cowl to rest to. I think this one may only look fine with a very heavy/thick fabric cowl, since a lighter one would probably show the faceplate cut, specially at the "nose".

What about this guys SFP?. I don't know them.

My thoughts exactly Tango. That short faceplate was a problem with the SGB from what I was told by people who owned it.

As for SFP, check out these few (of many) threads about them - From what I understand he is a known re-caster (among other things). If anything, I want people here to be educated about them and to purchase at their own risk. I've read countless stories of people receiving total garbage from them (in terms of costume parts)

I don't know if it's stickied/pinned anywhere, but we should probably do the same to protect our own members here.
