Even being account-bound and usable by any class, I think they are too expensive. If they were $3-5 I would be a little more tempted. As is, I think the price is a little too steep.
Yes
No
Maybe

They may be cool, but nothing beats my Bloodvine Lens.
I've seen people wearing them in-game. The frost one is kinda neat how it changes from skull face back to your normal face. But even if I were compelled to buy one, I wouldn't. Paying one month of sub time on 1 transmog helmet just doesn't sit well with me.
No plans to buy any of those current 3 at this time at least. They're cool in a way, but none of them really fits my troll rogue. Might buy one later though, depending on new designs if there will be any.
I voted "Maybe".
Definetly not.
Steam summer sale is on bitches, get your priorities straight.
I had planned to buy the Eternal winter helm until I saw the prices and the fact that the skull doesn't stay around for long...
I really wanted the Rag horns for my druid... But $15 is absolutely outrageous for a piece of gear I only see if I open my character panel.
To me, helms are the most inconsequential piece of gear - other people see your helm but don't care, and the person who does care, which is yourself, doesn't see it when you're playing normally anyway. To that effect, a helm isn't as important as the other pieces that you see all the time, like shoulders.
If they offered me a full set with animated helm and shoulders, I'd pay $15 for it if I liked it.
If they offered me helms that properly conform to a race's face - chubbier panda skull, wolf skull for worgen, cow skull for tauren, tusked skull for troll, etc. - instead of lazy helms with the same clipping and polygon issues that in-game helms have, I might pay real money for them, but no more than $10.
As is, these helms are really no specialer than any in-game shiny helm, and in fact the dark hood one is downright ugly, the skull one has so many clipping issues, and the horns... I lament, because I do really like the horns. But none of them are worth more than $5, and regardless whether it's cosmetic or vanity or not, I think Blizzard is being exceptionally greedy asking the cost of a month of gameplay for helms they slapped together with all the same clipping issues everyone hates when it comes to transmog. They could at least have made them fit each individual race better, they probably would have enticed more people with that feature and made up the cost of doing it.
I have never purchased anything out of the Blizzard store on general principle and these are no exception. The price of them is also ridiculous.
Anyway, I never show my helm on any character.
Had no interest, after seeing how the items haven't even been custom worked to fit on every race correctly, I've got zero interest in buying them, even for gold.
They would have to do a whole lot more to give me a reason to justify dropping $15 on something they likely created in a couple of days but even then, it's not really going to be a unique item if it's going to be as popular, if not more, than their mounts which sort of undermines the value of such an item if you want to stand out from the rest.
Those who buy in to it are enabling them to pull off such bullshit price-gouging on top of their subscription model.
A soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon.
15 bucks for a helm is too much, for that price I would expect an entire set for transmog no just a helm
That's pretty much it for me. None of them really strike my fancy too much with any of the Xmog sets I've developed for my 11 characters. Add to that the cost when I don't find any particularly compelling, yeah, not planning on buying any.
That being said, I am perfectly fine with their presence on the Store, because I have the willpower to say "No Thanks" when I don't see something worth purchasing, but am fine if others like it, unlike all of the nerd raging drama queens posting on MMO.
Nope, not me. I just don't like how any of them look, and they are a tad too pricy (i might think differently about the price, if there was one I really liked). I've purchased a few pets, so I really have no problem throwing money around.
Maybe if I had other items to make a set with, at this time, no. Plus I've read about how they don't fit well, etc on some races. Not for me.
