I've disputed them in the past, but it seems that whoever repeats it the most wins which really sucks because it doesn't make things true. Problem is people (especially newer people) tend to believe what they read.
I'll just say that for the record, I disagree with 90% of what is being said in this discussion. If someone is interested in hearing what I have to say about vader helmets, they can speak directly with me.
GINO,
Speaking of repeating and repeating until it becomes "truth"....
For the longest time you've been taking swipes at the TM as being not so authentic, etc. compared with the VP, despite how close things are to the Hi-Def screenshots, and then trumpeting how the VP was superior. Even though the TM is a MASK AND DOME set, you denounced it simply because JRX did some slight restoration work. A mask and dome set that is a snapshot of the original ANH versus a ROTJ mask with much of the original detail sanded down, and yet you can still say the ROTJ mask is superior in accuracy. I've wondered why....
While the VP has been proven to be smaller and of a ROTJ source, you had blasted my thread with your "ROTJ = ESB" misinformation campaign and then went further to say that "size doesn't matter; compare the features intstead" to keep AnsonJames and Sithlord from drawing attention to very important size differences. I've wondered why....
If now the source of your supposedly-more-accurate-than-everyone-else's ANH is basically this ROTJ helmet you've claimed to be of "golden provenance" and "better than the TM", then I have to ask you why you feel repeating misinformation until it becomes truth is right when when you seek to improve the prestige of something in your collection through harming that of others. I've wondered why....
And you had wanted to buy two TMs from vadermania, but couldn't.
Your ANH appears to be so golden in provenance that it is actually nothing more than a ROTJ source that's farther away to the original ANH than the TM.
More power to Anson James if all he has to do is place a GH dome on his VP and achieving the same look as GINO's.
