The helmets are scaled down and are not full size, although each helmet is intricately designed and detailed nevertheless. Each completed helmet measures around 7 to 8.5 inches tall, including the stand (about the size of a softball to a pineapple). The smaller size makes the helmets easy to display on a shelf. Why are the helmets recommended for age 18+? The torso and legs were then replaced in 75339 Death Star Trash Compactor Diorama, where Luke and Han appear in their Stormtrooper disguises. I am not entirely convinced this change was necessary and it is not ideal for army building, although the new armour looks good. The shading on the breastplate is better and the power cells are now accurately printed above the right knee, rather than below.

I REALLY want to like these Star Wars mechs, I'm a strong defender of their place in the Lego product catalog, but I can't help but wince at the downward trend of these sets, raising prices and oversimplifying things that didn't need to be simplified. I guess decent thumbs are the latest casualty. Let’s explore everything you need to know about the LEGO Star Wars Helmets including a complete list of all of the helmets. LEGO sometimes chooses to change a ubiquitous minifigure, typically overhauling the design completely between sets. The classic Stormtrooper has instead been updated in stages. The dual-moulded helmet was introduced in 2019 and captures wonderful detail, although replacing the original piece proved very contentious when the change was made. If you like superheros too, LEGO has also released similar Marvel and DC masks and helmet build-to-display models. How big is each helmet? The completed model features a flip-down rangefinder (i.e. targeting device on the helmet antenna). The flip-down rangefinder is a rare find in the helmet series–most of the helmets don’t have any moving parts. IMAGE CREDIT LEGO 2. LEGO Star Wars Stormtrooper Helmet 75276

Among the most infamous “minor” characters in the Original Trilogy, bounty hunter Boba Fett has garnered a loyal following and now has his very own Disney+ series! A small gray section in the upper left part of the helmet represents the signature Boba Fett helmet dent.

LEGO recommends the series for builders ages 18+ due, in part, to the complexity of the build and also due to LEGO’s anticipation of who will be most interested in the set.

Summary

The set was provided for review by LEGO. All opinions expressed are those of the author. Minifigure Also, the legs could have featured asymmetrical knee armour, as another allusion to traditional Stormtrooper garb. The textured detail across the legs is splendid though, mirroring the mech's arms. The feet look nice too, particularly considering the simplicity of Stormtrooper's footwear in the movies, which provide little inspiration for the mech. Admittedly though, the torso armour would probably inhibit inward movement regardless of the static arms. I dislike that the Stormtrooper minifigure is relatively exposed from either side, but the shape of the chest is effective and the printed Imperial emblem looks superb, decorating a white 2x2 tile. Plus, you know, the Empire was spread out over a vast area of the galaxy, whereas the OT only really showed us stormtroopers on a handful of planets/moons, ships, and the two Death Stars. A good number of them didn’t talk either, so it’s entirely plausible some of them could have been female. And let’s not forget that the Empire was around for a number of decades.

Interesting use of a female head for a Stormtrooper . . . I can't think of any SW canon examples of a female Stormtrooper. . . but I could be wrong." Recreate Princess Leia’s disguise in Return of the Jedi! Leia enters Jabba’s Palace dressed as the helmeted bounty hunter, Boushh, under the cover story of collecting a bounty on Chewbacca. Meanwhile, she unfreezes Han Solo from carbonite. Before she can rescue him, though, Jabba discovers her and takes both of them into custody. The buildable Boussh helmet captures the distinctive brown and tan color scheme and detailing of the vision-plus scanner and tooth-like speech scrambler in the lower part of the helmet. This is the third bounty hunter helmet in the series, following The Mandalorian and Boba Fett buildable helmets. 10. LEGO Star Wars Commander Cody Helmet 75350

As of March 2023, the LEGO Star Wars Helmet Collection encompasses 11 different helmet designs. LEGO released a wave of three helmets in 2023: LEGO Captain Rex Helmet 75349 and LEGO Commander Cody Helmet 75350 and LEGO Princess Leia (Boushh) Helmet 75351. The LEGO Star Wars Helmet Collection is a series of build-to-display models targeting adult LEGO builders and Star Wars collectors alike. Each set in the collection recreates the likeness of an iconic Star Wars helmet. LEGO launched the Star Wars helmet sub-theme in 2020 and has released 2-3 new helmets each year. The company discontinues sets over time.
