    For those of us who've paid in, any news on when the amber face covers will start shipping?

    With apologies for the delay, my second batch of visors is now completed and will ship out later today.
    The following people should check their mailboxes in a week or so:

    1. Wayne Lee
    2. Josh McKillips
    3. Josh McKillips
    4. Erick Mercado
    5. Jamey McRandall
    6. Greg Cheng

    Greg only requested one, but I'm sending him both a G1-style deep amber visor and an IDW-style clear yellow one, thanks to his outstanding generosity.
    Thanks guys, and enjoy your Genesis upgrades! :thumb

    I'd like to add myself to the list of upcoming buyers. I can pay immediately. Question I have though is where can I get the alternate head.

    Guess I'd better get started on a third batch! :redface2:

    The visor fits between the head and the chin guard.
    See where it's pinched at the bottom?

    [​IMG]

    Fit the upper edge of the visor into the grooves along the edges of the forehead first, and then squeeze the lower edge between the base of the chin and the removable chin guard piece.
    You might need a little glue in the hole where the chin guard pegs into the base of the helmet; my chin guard was pretty loose.

    Just thought I'd share what I did with mine, still need an original Genesis head to finish and put the amber canopy on this.
