Both pieces are very well done. Because it occurs to me that the parts aren't perfectly compatible with each other. The way that it is engineered there is a gap at the back between the armor and the bottom of the helmet that I personally find objectionable. Collectors who are seeking to collect all the various variations of the helmet will likely appreciate just getting that portion at a cheaper price than the complete bust. The helmet could be displayed on its own very nicely (with a self-made display stand), or you could make your own lower bust with armor that could be positioned in a better manner than the full Sideshow bust combined.
The lower bust itself would be more compatable with a separate helmet that is open in the back and would therefore allow it to tilt back as it ideally should. A self made support will be needed to be made to accomplish this, but easily done.
A perfect option for someone who has an existing helmet and wants to improve their display. I'm pricing the helmet as a display item that is cheaper than an unfinished kit.
This should appeal to many collectors looking for a finished piece. Last pics show how the pieces would look together. I will use whichever piece doesn't sell with my own parts to make a display that is fully compatible.
