Who knows I might even ditch the skull completely. Just waiting for the EL Wire now, could do with a 1/4 scale stand as this guy is really heavy!!
I was wondering about the same thing (considering the wraiths don't show facial features unless seen while one's wearing the ring), but it would be a shame to give up on your skull helmet completely. That's why I thought repainting it a darker metallic color might do the trick and provide a nice backdrop to the outer helmet. Moreover, depending on how you make it, I suppose you might even end up with options as to how to display it -- with or without the skull part.

I would normally sympathize with such sentiment, but it didn't hit me this way. It is not a remake, different plot from anything we've seen, so I didn't mind. One might perhaps say that Max was being outshone by Furiosa (with some justification, although I don't think it was egregious), but that's another matter. Slight tangent: I saw something in the entertainment news about Mel's son becoming an actor; he looks very much like his dad, and he sounds exactly like him. I don't know about his acting abilities (yet), but if they wanted to make a Mel Max prequel, they should try casting him and avoid the
Solo silliness. Of course there's an equal chance they will cast someone like Alden Ehrenreich. But Hardy was perfectly fine, for another version of the story.
