Some manufacturers do produce different shell sizes for their helmets - I think AGV do a couple of different sizes and I've heard that some brands have up to 4 or even 5 different shell sizes - so a helmet with a small fit interior will have an aesthetically pleasing and in proportion small size exterior - you would have to do some research to find out which brand produces several shell sizes.
https://billyscrashhelmets.co.uk/about-crash-helmets-shell-sizes/
I actually had the 'bobble head' experience with a Roof Daytona helmet which had a very big 'one size fits all' exterior shell size - I'm just under six foot and average build - but I was convinced the helmet looked totally out of proportion to the rest of me and that I looked like the comical 'bobble head' you mentioned - my feelings were confirmed when I was stopped up at some traffic lights and a woman in a car stopped at the lights opposite me started laughing hysterically and pointing me out to her friends sat in the car next to her.
Because I had realised prior to this incident (from looking in mirrors and riding past shop windows - because I am a narcissist) that the helmet looked out of proportion and kind of silly, I knew that she was laughing at my ridiculous, out of proportion to the rest of me, Roof Daytona bobble head.
So yeah - I can say from personal experience that shell size, bobble headedness and getting laughed at 'is a thing'.
Alternatively - who gives a sh*t what other people think? Us bobble heads are people too.
On the other hand my Roof Daytona is now sitting in the cupboard collecting dust - I wear a nicely proportioned AGV these days. |

Having an excessively large shell size amplifies the neck-torquing effect in a crash in a liner manner.
Airoh make some lids with very low profiles and small shells.
Arai have 6 shell sizes. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
