As a fan and a bit of a helmet snob. From best to worst:
Yellow - Very good, no complaints. 5/5
Pink - Good 4.5/5
Red - Salvageable. Fix the visor so it’s not so rounded. Should be pointed at the top section. Shouldn’t look like a toe-nail! Also, they painted the surround silver where the teeth are, should be white. 4/5
Blue - Terrible. Visor area all wrong. Mouth section too big. Missing white line above visor. 2.5/5
Black - Terrible. Silver horns too big. Mouth section too big. Shouldn’t have little ears on top like the yellow, they should stick out to the side and very subtle and blend into diagonals on the sides as they’re supposed to be the ears of a mammoth. 2/5.
Green - Worst of all. A solid 0/5. Everything about this is wrong. I can almost guarantee they’ve modelled the helmet from pictures of a Eric0101’s fan sculpt, which in itself is a modified Red Ranger helmet.
All this before we get to the overly muscular look.
All in all. Just not acceptable really for a $1000+ diorama. Hero-cast versions of the helmets are available for $100 each so there’s no excuse to get these details so, so wrong. I mean; they build a replica Ford Explorer for their Jurassic Park diorama. I hate to be “that guy” but if this had been $300 I might have talked myself into it. Bearing in mind the below S.H Figuarts were around $30 each
