Here are all the bits n bobs that I had to get from Tokyu Hands. You can see the green film - a much thicker film which doesn't crumple up when my glasses rub against it - 147 yen.
Then there's the metal mesh which I will use under the frown - 997 yen.
You can see the electrical tape needed to redo the frown 99 yen...
Also got a chin strap to hold the helmet in place so that it doesn't fall off when raiding a Blockade Runner...
Anyway, despite the blemishes which can be easily(ish) fixed, the Battle Spec is something I'm relatively pleased with. Its made by the original maker, its light weight and the maker shipped it on the day I ordered!
The AFX on the other hand is heavy (very), large (very) and doesn't look movie accurate.
I only wished that I ordered my armor and helmet from Shepperton Design Studios in the first place - yes they do armor too! And as you can see from the pictures in that link - they use the original moulds for the armor as well. Now I just need to find an excuse for my wife to purchase their armor too... How about: "The doctor told me I only have 30 days to live but if I get some of that Shepperton armor, I will be cured..."
