Indeed. I got Empire today, and I noticed what has  been said about the padding in the helmet, particularly in that shot. You can't see it all that clearly in that scanned photo.

EDIT- 1 check later... I was wrong actually you can see the padding in both. Just look closely at the left side (facing us.).

The padding is quite clear though but don't know how thick it is throughout the helm:

A better shot of Judge... Lex.  Nice Eagle pad!  Yes, not huge - but it is there and it is different from the left shoulder pad, so - conceptually faithful, realistically implemented.  Helmets look large because, essentially, they are doing double duty as motorcycle helmet. Which was always the idea, check Judge Fargo's old proto Judge gear which is even more explicit with the concept.

Maybe Empire should've asked who was working on the design of the helmet a good month and a half before pre-production..

I have been a bit concerned about how you could see out of one of those helmets so I thought I would try an experiment to see how much those helmet cross pieces restrict your vision.

I got a couple of packets of rizlas and pressed them at right angles between my eyes and the result?

Mildly annoying but surprising little effect at blocking out vision so the verdict is that the helmet design is fine! 

I have too much time on my hands I think.
