Again this is how it came from Efx. All 250 must not line up right since all pieces for this helmet come from a mold.
So I guessing during quality control at Efx while putting the helmet together my tabs must have broken off unnoticed. The second issue is the face mask has a tusk that has come out, not broken.
Looks like the glue for that tusk has become undone. The last issue is the lining on the inside of the helmet is coming up in certain spots.
This is typical with glue losing its hold through time. The helmet when received will have some areas in the mask that will need to be dusted. I do not want to dust these hard to reach areas through fear of scratching.
Note first picture the lid is not lined up right. I assure you it lines up, just not to easy with the magnets plus I already boxed the helmet.
