Posting a picture on this forum is quite simple. If getting a photo from your PC, post it on a site like tinypic.com, imgur etc. You need to get the link that usually ends in ".jpg" or ".png" etc. Then paste it here betweenPicture of the bust on Sideshow Freaks page 3. Also on Statue Forum. I have tried and tired to figure out how to a picture
Better, not in my opinion? The neck piece is wrong and the lenses don't fit into the eye socket? They're bulbous and have gaps in the corners. I'll stick with the sideshow bust.This SDS looks better:

It is just a helmet and armor pieces on a mannequin bust. There is no neck seal or other details.Better, not in my opinion? The neck piece is wrong and the lenses don't fit into the eye socket? They're bulbous and have gaps in the corners. I'll stick with the sideshow bust.
The Sideshow Clone bust, ,which was made from CGI files is much better than the Stormtrooper. SDS has its own issues, but is indeed more accurate. For licensed you can also go with Anovos. I get the idea of some people liking idealized stuff, but the old symmetrical Master Replicas Collector's Edition / EFX Precision Cast helmet looks better than the Sideshow bust. But if you like the inaccurate Sideshow bust, more power to you.Better, not in my opinion? The neck piece is wrong and the lenses don't fit into the eye socket?

I think from just a filming perspective, it wouldn't look quite "right" for current generation to see rough and tumble TKs' we're familiar with in the OT. It's like how after they rolled out HD on TV/live broadcasts for the very first time (I remember), people realized that they had to be more "careful" about their appearance prior to going on camera, cause boy, it could be bad.Some people will go with licensed no matter what. Idealized is what they like, no wonder Anovos receives angry messages from customers about their asymmetrical Stormie helmets on forums, Facebook page and by email, from people who have no clue how the screen used helmets looked like. I guess this is another reason why for RO Disney made perfectly symmetrical helmets.
That is what I said all along on many forums including Rebelscum, the Freaks board, RPF, Statue Forum etc.: at this time and age an asymmetrical helmet with warts and dings wouldn't cut it in the high-def, 3D, 4k etc. cinematics, so it is ok what Diseny did for Rogue One.I think from just a filming perspective, it wouldn't look quite "right" for current generation to see rough and tumble TKs' we're familiar with in the OT.

From a purely fan perspective, I can appreciate what they did for R1 to make it more "real world." I'm not as much of a die-hard TK enthusiast but the R1 version, to me, is representative of how they would more or less "really look like." The perception I have when thinking about it is figure the events of star wars being real, but the OT films are just "historical recreations" with costumes, whereas watching R1 is what it all really looked like (aesthetically speaking)
It's kinda whacky, but that's how I perceive the differences in appearance
Unfortunately, that's the reality of Sideshow, it seems. I can't tell you how many Snowtrooper items out there are horribly inaccurate, even mini-busts. Hell, I never bought the gentle giants snowtrooper bust when I had an opportunity because the eyes are wrong.That is what I said all along on many forums including Rebelscum, the Freaks board, RPF, Statue Forum etc.: at this time and age an asymmetrical helmet with warts and dings wouldn't cut it in the high-def, 3D, 4k etc. cinematics, so it is ok what Diseny did for Rogue One.
The problem is this bust doesn't resemble the Rogue One Stormtrooper either, it's just a bad looking symmetrical helmet, the classic inaccurate "artistic interpretation" by Sideshow
Well, there you go. These pieces are just for the people who have a lot of money that don't care about accuracy, don't know any better or just don't care at all.Sideshow has no restrictions regarding accuracy, but they prefer not to care.
