Review on ๐ŸŽญ Marvel Legends Avengers Electronic Helmet by Jared Winebrenner

Revainrating 2 out of 5

For sale this helmet would be amazing!

Let's start with the good stuff. First of all it looks fantastic, the magnetic bezel feels nice, I would have preferred it to just slide out, but after some use it doesn't matter and it's really nice to be able to open or close it. Glowing eyes are cool, if rather impractical. At first I felt it wasn't as durable as expected or semi thin, but after putting it on it was better than my first reactions. Ideal for shelf displays. For the bad guys. This review is based on a $150 purchase of this item, just to be clear. For the price I can't give it more than 3 stars, although I have to give it 5 stars for its coolness. But my first complaint is that no matter how I adjusted it I couldn't get this helmet to fit securely German my head (I have a smaller head although it's supposed to be a 'toy' so you could expect some kids to wear it). At $150, I expect a better headband than a seemingly super cheap (note the picture) and uncomfortable headband. I've used cheaper welding helmets and face shields with better seat belts. If it came up I could lift it, maybe to a star, but it's like it's just sitting on your head and swaying. As for the visibility of the eyes, everything is fine. Dim light lets you ride in feathery environments or outdoors (when it gets dark, say goodbye to any light for visibility). Even without light, due to the way the lens is made with light, your view is kind of blocked, almost like there's water on the lens, giving a slight blur. It's definitely possible to walk around without tripping, but it's not the clearest. Also, unless you tilt your head significantly, you can only see ahead from your chest. Unsurprisingly, the top metal plate on the helmet, used to hold the bezel open, will easily scratch the paint if the magnet rubs against it, even with light maintenance, but that's to be expected (see image). Overall I liked the helmet but for the price I find it hard to justify if you plan on wearing it for fun every now and then. Maybe it's just my head size and others haven't had this issue, but it was disappointing in that area. As a fun note, I wear this when I bring kids tricks or treats and it's been a hit with kids and adults alike.
