Good summnation there Cylon Knight.

I too noticed the blue tinge to the mouth grill. I am not sure how accurate this is, but I like it.

Was it styrene or something else?

Did it come with any electronics?
Size is 1/1, but as for material? I couldn't hold it as it was locked in a showcase. I even had a hard time asking the workers there for any info on it. I didn't see any electronics for it. Sorry. It was a MAD HOUSE there and I was in my cylon suit.

Here are some picts from Comic Con.

Thanks for the answers Harry. I am surprised you could see much at all in your own cylon helmet!

Actually had to take off my helmet as tooooo many people kept asking me for pictures. Couldn't spend any time inquirering about the EFX bucket. As for the blue tint on the mouth piece, I believe it was my flash going off as I didn't see any electronics in it.

Nice!

THX for the pics.

I see anything but a smooth chromed surface though. Cellulite!

Yes it was great to see another prop maker producing this item, but they will have to apply some sandpaper to the master before they make any more.

Yeah, it looks like they did a quick primer job with thick paint.

Is it just me or does it all look sloppy?

Dunno what they're gonna charge for those, but it'll be high for this quality.

Let's hope these are proto's. Should have done a better job.

The eye socket section isn't cut away the correct way, and the chrome finish has a lot of fish eye action, or orange peel. What ever you want to call it, it is bad.

Any idea on where they got their master from?

I haven't research it, but ,y guess is they worked from a copy, and made their own mods

Well, if it's licensed they could have had access to better masters.

Strange.

They are in charge of finding, or recreating their own source, unless the studio is willing to let it be farmed out shirt term. The master originals molds have been destroyed almost 16 years ago.

Okay?!?

Didn't know that. Molds destroyed? Why oh why?

Someone can make a great business preventing props or prop molds from being destroyed.

They didn't use CORA's helmet then...
