Well, without a larger picture of the actual scan than what I found online it's difficult to tell, but the resolution looks fine enough on that scan for a perfect print. So what helmet did they scan, as that is NOT a hero helmet scan... and their story was always that they molded a stunt and scanned a hero helmet.
Thats exactly what I was told by MR, that they scaned the "lens-missing" Hero in the archive but that it just wasnt good enough to make the helmet. Maybe their issue was not resolution but the ability of their manufacturers in China to print it? really dont know but was surprisd when next i heard they had agreed to borrow Joiners Stunt so they could "Hero-ise" it.
Ive still got the 1st version they did, it was pretty shaky with a bump under the eye, the teeth were dreadful as were the ears. Over a couple of weeks I got them to alter a few things (like the ears and teeth, remove the bump) but since it was effectely a lump of fiberglass there was only so much we could do. However in the end it looked pretty good and sold in volumes (including a re run by EFX) so I was pretty happy with the final result.
Cheers
