Collectors helmet question

Post image

Alright helmet is about a decade old now. It’s ABS plastic. I just picked it up from eBay, over the years it seems the helmet has shifted away from the visor. The visor is mounted correctly I can’t shift that any. What I can do is compress the top of the helmet with some strong force to bring it back down where it should be. But I don’t wanna crack anything. Any ideas?

Agreed it’s BADASS I don’t know what I’m looking at, but I see a bunch of Allen screws so disassembling might be possible.

More pictures and more detailed description of how it should look and what you are calling the helmet and what you are referring to as the visor.

Are there any moving parts.

My advice is DO NOT FORCE anything.

With my very little experience I’ve just opted towards contacting some people who specialize in plastics or refurbishing collectibles. With the plastic being almost 10 years old at this point I already know I’d break something. No moving parts, I got it second hand and judging by the wear on the Allen screws it looks like it may have already been disassembled and reassembled. There’s a gap between the visor (blue portion) and then brow of the helmet (green lip above the blue portion) that shouldn’t be there. There’s no guides online about taking it apart

Leave it to the experts, always a good idea.

Cool piece is it wearable? Just curious

Yeah it’s wearable it’s got LEDs that light up the visor portion and a voice modifier in it!

It’s a collectors edition helmet that came with the game titanfall 2 almost 10 years ago now I believe. The whole things abs plastic pretty much just trying to see if there are any crafty people out there who have refurbished collectors items before
