PatrickW1074[501st] Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) Hi guysI just purchased an injection molded helmet (TFA) and I was wondering if this is a durable method as far as strength of the helmet or did I just blow my cash?Thanks in advancePatrick Edited September 12, 2015 by PatrickW1074 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Wait - are these different from the TFA helmets that were bought at C7, or the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayday73 Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 I got one too but I may cancel if they don't let me buy the armor, when asking the question if I can get just the armor at a later date they are just saying we will let you know, I don't need this if I can only get the armor with another premium helmet down the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Wait - are these different from the TFA helmets that were bought at C7, or the same?They are. The offer they have now on publicly available tfa helmets are injection molded. Ā Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickW1074[501st] Posted September 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 I think I'm just going to stick it out and see what it looks like when I get it. My only concern is the durability of the product. I think ANOVOS has proven themselves by producing some pretty cool things. So hopefully this will be one of them.

Locitus[Admin] Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 The MRCE (aka eFX collectors edition) helmet was also injection moulded and it was rock solid. Not accurate at all for any movie, but very durable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickW1074[501st] Posted September 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 That's encouraging. Thanks for the input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandatrooper[TK] Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Injection molded means liquid plastic is forced into a metal mold which supports both sides of an object. Most production items are injection molded. Most of the time it's urethane or it can be abs (phones, appliances etc). I worked on items mass produced in factories using injection moulding. It will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
