The helmet sizing thing, up til a couple months ago, was an "eyeball" method. Once we obtained some measurements from the movie actors we were able to nail now some more ocncrete numbers. Although they are not 100% there are better than prvious methods. A 2:1 ratio is aproximately what's desired, with can move up or down a tad from person to person but generally stays in that region.
It's not likely to be addressed in the CRL's more than already, which is covered under statements about proper sizing, fit and proportions and the overall quality clause.

Understood on the CRL question, and thank you for the follow ups, Good formula you have established Thanks again
Edrahil:
Was wondering how the WOF helmet measured up. Looking to make a scratch built off of that template (http://mercs.firespray.net/downloadables/tutorials/library/BF%20Helmet%20Templates%20A4.pdf)
Would it be appropriate for a 20~" shouldered person?
Hondo Karr:
The WOF templates are for a 1:1 Boba Fett scale helmet. So, the end result should be just about 11.5" wide. Optimum for someone 22-24/26 inches wide at the shoulder. Going to be a bit wide on someone who is 20" wide at the shoulder. Believe it or not, that 2-3" inches in the difference between just right and Mando by Funko.
If you downsized the templates a bit... maybe 5-10% (i dont have a calcualtor in front of me) so your end result build is 9.5-10" wide, youd be spot on.
Dresdon Acacin:
If one is like....19-20" at the shoulders, perhaps adding shoulder plates that jut out the sides a bit more would solve this I would asume. Adding a pauldron could have the same effect as well maybe...but at 19.5" shoulders and a couple more years growing I think a 1:1 will not be a problem for me
Edrahil:
Same question for Skips Pepakura template (found on:http://mercs.firespray.net/forum/index.php?action=ezportal;sa=page;p=1). Is that also for the 1:1?
