I dunno....i think there is too much negativity toward this mask....i have mine set up in such a way that i'm extremely pleased with it. I know the shortcomings, and i think that each mask may vary due to it being cast in resin from a mold that, i believe, has no proper jacket....hence the warping in some masks.
Just like the dude here, i wish i had the dosh to splash out on more exclusive casts, hell, i'd give my eye teeth for Mark's ROTJ helmet on offer right now, but some of us are hard up.
I believe whole-heartedly that a new market for ANH lids will arise with the arrival of the EFX. So many people will recast it, and will probably charge much less than official vendors. I for one would be VERY tempted if the cast was a good one simply due to my financial situation.....
(That'll get Defstartroopers goat up...)
If any of you good people wish to alleviate the suffering of us poor Fang owners, then i, for one, would gladly accept any loose casts you have hanging around the place taking up room!
in appreciation of such largesse, i could post pics and comparisons with my previously acceptable Fang Hybrid....(i'm not kidding!!!!)
