I'm a bit nervous about this detail on my helmet. You guys see the long horizontal line running right in the center of the right cheek, do you see this on your mask, could it be part of the sculpt?

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

I'm not a Vader expert but I'm kind of sure that is a part of the sculpt. It is supposed to look like the original helmet with ALL THE DENTS AND WARPS And it doesn't even has all those since even the Legend has a cleanup.

When you'll see a real Stormtrooper helmet with all its flaws then you know this is how Star Wars was made.

you probably have to throw the bucket from 4 high on the street a few times to get the original Darth Vader bucket

On topic, no worries MK i have seen more pics with the same marks so it must be on all Legends.
However i have seen some with flaws on top of the dome cause of the styrofoam.

Anyway if you are not satisfied with it i'd be happy to take it off you for let's say $ 600,00

I haven't seen such a detail on other Legends.

Is it in the casting or is it (just) paint?

supposedly the flaws did not get fixed in the Legend.

and no. there shouldn't be all sorts of flaws on the limited. they supposedly fixed all those on the limited to give it a more idealized clean look.

here is a link to their site...http://www.efxcollectibles.com/c-11-istar-warsi.aspx
