I realize it is frustrating and I actually pushed to have the helmet removable myself but after considering all the variables I think we made the right decision.
When you make something larger there are a lot of new things to consider. One issue is the weight of the helmet at this size. It is much heavier than a smaller statue helmet and this also effects the way it sits on the head unless it is glued on somehow or held in place. Unlike the light weight of a small statue helmet which can simply float around without scratching anything.
This is one of those examples where you just can't please everyone and honestly most people are not upset about the helmet not being removable. We were actually trying to avoid complaints about paint being scratched by attaching the helmet and I think if it was removable we would have all kinds of problems.
Arahom also told me that he had to make the hair and head a bit smaller in so the helmet did not look oversized. The walls of this larger helmet are thinner and form fitting.
Not all decisions are as simple as people think. We want to make as amazing statues as we can guys but we also have to consider all the pros and cons. I hope this makes some sense!
