The price of it shouldn't be the factor here, IMO.

They could use cheaper plastic or manufacturing technique, etc, but the sculpting of the helmet should be accurate to the movie regardless of how much they are going to sell it for.

The terrible look of this DV helmet seems to suggest that they think kids couldn't tell the difference, so it is ok to make a terrible version of it. That seems to be the justification.

Yet, this particular product seems to have a broad appeal to SW collectors in general more so than it would to kids. It is priced "cheap" for adult SW collectors but expensive for kids.

I have had mass produced cheap DV action figures that have far more movie accurate helmet than this 1:1 piece.

You can't see that element in the top photo of the model wearing it, which may be why I think it looks cooler here than it ever did in the film.
The generic, more realistic flight suit didn't help either.

Overall is was too plasticy looking in the movie.
i believe with the closeups you good see the thickness at some edges. And indeed the swooping point at the back.
