Review: 75429 AT-AT Driver Helmet
Posted by CapnRex101,
75429 AT-AT Driver Helmet marks the welcome return of the Helmet Collection, after its brief hiatus last year. I assumed the series had ended altogether, but there was certainly potential for more and the AT-AT Driver is a perfect example, given its distinctive colours.
Of course, the model initially seems familiar, as various equivalent Imperial helmets have been produced before. However, there are major differences between this helmet and earlier sets, especially in their construction because this one is unlike any produced before.
Summary
75429 AT-AT Driver Helmet, 730 pieces.
£69.99 / $69.99 / €79.99 | 9.6p/9.6c/11.0c per piece.

75429 AT-AT Driver Helmet marks a definite step up for the Helmet Collection
- Impressive shaping
- Many authentic details
- Unique building experience
- Quite a few stickers
- Overpriced in Europe

The Completed Model
AT-AT drivers are among the many Star Wars characters to appear quite briefly onscreen, but remain popular thanks to their eye-catching armour. The bulky helmet in particular seems well suited to the drivers' role aboard enormous AT-ATs and means this model is slightly larger than most in the Helmet Collection, although it is still to scale with the others.
The colour of AT-AT drivers' uniforms has been discussed for many years. Their helmets and armour look white onscreen and in the photo typically used for merchandise, including on the back of this set's box. However, the photo is extremely over-exposed and their actual colour is pale grey, so light bluish grey was the best choice here. Also, this colour helpfully differs from other Imperial helmets in this series.
In addition, whereas other helmets have been assembled around cores of bricks with studs on several sides, this one is constructed with panels. The core instead comprises a Technic beam with clips and Technic connection points to secure exterior sections at varying angles. The face, for instance, is attached separately to the lenses, forehead and chin.
Similarly, the panels beside the faceplate are mounted at an angle using Technic elements, so the curved respirator housings on either side look more accurate than on 75276 Stormtrooper Helmet or 75349 Captain Rex Helmet. However, certain techniques return from previous sets, such as the use of layered plates to sculpt curves on top.
Although the gap down the centre is not ideal, I think the helmet looks fantastic from the front. The curvature around the eyes is accurate and the mechanical details just above look superb, recreating parts of a clock mechanism that were attached to the original helmet. The stickered red and dark grey squares on the forehead also show impressive attention to detail.
However, my favourite feature is actually the mouth, where the designer has cleverly used the aforementioned gap to include a red stripe in the middle, albeit only visible from certain angles. Once again, that matches the helmets worn by AT-AT drivers onscreen, as do the asymmetrical red and grey nozzles on the chin.
The printed Imperial logos also look excellent, reminiscent of 75274 TIE Fighter Pilot Helmet, which is appropriate because the pilots' helmets were repainted to serve as AT-AT drivers for The Empire Strikes Back. Moreover, the black stripe between the Imperial symbols looks fairly accurate, but the stickers are not ideal and the pointed tip of the stripe should be red.
On the subject of red details, the 1x1 round plate on the left side of the helmet shows careful attention to the source material. The black tubes hanging beside the lenses look accurate too, while the general shape is effective from all angles, including boxy audio sensors and rounded ridges above.
Three more stickers are applied on the back, forming red stripes to match the drivers aboard General Veers' walker. The grey canisters look good and these are connected to hoses in the film, which are omitted here. 75274 TIE Fighter Pilot Helmet managed to include similar hoses, but these would need to be considerably longer, so I understanding leaving them off.
Overall
While I have enjoyed the Helmet Collection so far, the prospect of 75429 AT-AT Driver Helmet did not particularly excite me, partly because I expected the model to be very similar to 75274 TIE Fighter Pilot Helmet. However, the design has been completely overhauled to capture the helmet's shape with remarkable accuracy, using some unusual building techniques.
In fact, my only problems with this helmet are the need for so many stickers and the European prices. $69.99 seems reasonable for the US, but £69.99 or €79.99 is too expensive, relative to other sets in the series. Nonetheless, this is a surprisingly impressive addition to the range and potentially my favourite helmet yet, thanks primarily to its improved curved features.

Isn't that layered plate technique called a Lowell sphere? Or is that something else?
Also I just realized how rubbish the Stormtrooper helmet looks...
I was under the impression a certain large ninjago set would be revealed today, perhaps not. Solid design on the helmet, I dislike the open studs on the black parts flanking the eyes. Feels like they need a tile or 2.
I thought when I first saw this it looked the most impressive of the helmets and seeing alongside the other two just confirms that view.
I like that this one has less studded surfaces than others in the helmet collection. It has a good variety of textures and shapes.
I like it. I want a couple. Will look great next to the other troopers!
And really happy the collection of helmets didn't end.
It's kind of crazy how much of an improvement this is over the previous TIE and Stormtrooper helmets. They really nailed it here. Tempted to do it in black as an improvement to the TIE pilot helmet
$70 is way too much for these sets. $60 I can see, $50 sounds pretty reasonable, but $70?!
It's a cool model, but it doesn't change my opinion of the Helmet Series even slightly.
If by 'Impressive shaping' and 'authentic details' you mean 'Massively inaccurate'....
Seriously, the helmet series are not very well designed or built, and its literally only the 'Star Wars' effect of fans of the series blindly buying merchandise that has made them sell so well.
I'd say they're overpriced everywhere, not just Europe.

Just checked and the price I wuld have to pay in Sweden if I'm bying direckly from Lego is 99 USD (1099 SEK)

No, I mean what I said. You have to take the medium into consideration and on that basis, this is a superb design. There are inaccuracies in the shape inherent to LEGO building, but that can be said for basically any display set like this one.
Nice review. That new building technique for the set's skeleton is interesting.
While I think that the AT-AT Driver needed to be included in this series eventually, I wonder whether it should have waited until a couple of other more iconic helmets had been done. Cool set, anyway.

I think it was because this set was going to be made a few years ago but was canceled so this was the first one they wanted to do to bring back the helmet line

Not necessarily. A Lowell sphere does use layers of plates, but it specifically results in a sphere comprised of six identical panels. There are other ways to build spheres with layered plates besides a Lowell sphere.

I did take into account the medium. Theres plenty of MOC's out there (which are easily googleable) built to the same scale that are far more accurate. This one has the ear sections simultaneously too low and too high. The mouth too high and the respirator attachments flared outwards when there are parts that aforementioned MOCs have used that would have corrected that.
If you honestly believe this is an accurate build given the medium, after viewing the more accurate mocs, I do not mean this as an insult, but I'd suggest booking yourself for an eye test.

This helmet has been near universally lauded for its design (and pined for its cost). Perhaps Cap and the rest of us die hard Star Wars find a more reasonable balance between LEGO and touching grass?

Friendly suggestion: if you don't mean it as an insult, don't phrase it as one...
But anyway, I'm not into the helmet series at all and think they are rather silly, but this one seems to be well received. And I think I can see why, it is less of a helmet shaped blob.

The 'die hard Star Wars Fans' need to admit that they'll blindly buy anything if its got Star Wars slapped on it, so yes, they do need to get out more.

And a 'friendly suggestion' for you too is that you can't simultaneously attack someone and try to defend something when you yourself then go on to say that something 'it's silly' and a 'shaped blob', which is agreeing with what the person you are attacking has said.

Ah, okay. Didn't know that.
I never noticed the red point at the bottom right until now

I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree as I think most of us “die hard Star Wars” fans are pretty critical and selective. I hope your day improves.

I'm sorry you feel 'attacked', but that seems a bit dramatic considering what I wrote. And me not liking the helmet sets is not agreeing with you. I don't care if the eyes are too wide, the ears too big or the colours a shade off.
And I'm fine with anybody thinking this is really cool without questioning their eyesight.
@yellowcastle said: And yet your own words were admitting that you 'need to touch grass'...
@Klontjes: So saying that something is inaccurate and 'the eyes are too wide', is not agreeing with someone else saying that 'the set is inaccurate'? I think the definition of agreeing with someone must be completely different in the Netherlands... as is the definition of not attacking someone when you've gone on and insulted them multiple times.
Except for the gap in the middle, it’s very well done.
I may be in the minority who often prefer stickers than printed parts…because I don’t put the stickers. I buy sets in good part for the parts, and the printed ones are less useful.
I would only buy speed champions who look nice without stickers.
If I buy this helmet, I would maybe put the stickers.

The two mocs I can find are https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-178676/603bricks/at-at-driver-helmet/details and https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-100255/Breaaad/at-at-pilot-helmet-collection/details and while they're valiant attempts for mocs, I can't see a single aspect of them that is more accurate than the set here. I'm not sure what this set did to your cornflakes, but lots of folks seem to think the accuracy is solid and I can't find the improvements in the mocs you've mentioned.
(Late add: one moc has the mouth higher and one has it lower. Seems like a big swing to say "mocs = accurate")

OK, I will address those issues you mentioned, beginning with the audio sensors. Their position is pretty much perfect, as they should line up below the level of the lenses and tilt outwards towards the top, which the model captures. Technically, they should also extend a little below the respirator housings around the 'jaw' of the helmet and it actually looks like they do from the front because of how those curved sections are constructed and the studs on the 2x4 slopes. Nevertheless, maybe an extra 2x4 plate could have been added on each side to lower those slopes a bit further.
The mouth is indeed very slightly too high, as the distance to the visor structure above should be marginally greater than the distance to the chin. However, the ratio of that difference is probably about 5:4, so I am not sure how the designer could have captured that at this scale. Perhaps the mouth could be offset by half a stud, but even that would not be perfect and it would likely look quite messy.
By the respirator attachments, I assume you mean the tubes hanging beside the lenses. I tried to find out what those actually are while working on the review, without success. Anyway, they hang loosely against the helmet on the original costume, so they do bulge outwards slightly rather than hanging straight down as they do on the LEGO model. However, attaching them rigidly instead of allowing them to hang loosely was probably necessary because those details could otherwise be dislodged or knocked off easily.
I have found three MOCs online and one does recreate how those hoses hang down quite well, although the technique does not look like something you would find in an official set to me. Otherwise, all three have issues of their own and seem inferior to the official model, with due respect to their creators.
I am happy to have these discussions and there is always room for disagreement, but I really do know what I am talking about where Star Wars is concerned.
wow the price is already pretty high, that euro one is pretty hard to swallow
I don't really get all the praise either....to me what stands out about the real helmet is how smooth it looks, especially the chin. And that's completely absent here.
Could it have been done better? That's the big question, shapes like that will always be difficult to replicate with Lego pieces. But I feel the Storm Trooper mask, while far from perfect, did a better attempt.
And as for the black triangle, the gap kinda ruins it. If only they could print around the edge....
Incredible model. Easily takes the top spot for most accurate helmet and best looking one too.
Doubt this reach Lego, more plants in U.S. before (tarrifs?) happen. Example Mexico, 25% possibly
@ Brickset Staff - could you guys maybe include a picture of any new molds in every set review? would be great addition IMO.

"I am happy to have these discussions and there is always room for disagreement, but I really do know what I am talking about where Star Wars is concerned."
No, when I'm talking about respirator attachments, I'm talking about the circular structures on the chin. Which, if you check official schematics, are listed as filters connected into the helmets built in respirator.
Well while I think that your assessments are way off, and since we seem to be actually talking about different things; In the interest of group harmony I say we'll agree to disagree and leave it there.
Funny, I looked at the reference image and thought - that strange thingy on the eyebrows looks like the old minifig stop sign part, but it wasn't used (probably too large).
“given its distinctive colours.” Indeed grey, black and a splash of red! Still, thanks for the great review Capn Rex. Shame the price in euros is way too much
The mocs out there aren’t anymore accurate than this one. Some parts/sections are, while other areas off.
Guarantee you, the price point set is what the designer built to.
With the Mocs, some used more pieces and not as stable, sturdy a build.

There are no official schematics of the AT-AT driver helmet that I am aware of because there is only the one over-exposed reference photo of the full costume, hence the confusion about its colour. In any case, I am not sure what you mean about them being flared outwards. Those circular features are angled downwards slightly on the model, as they should be.
Of course, we can disagree about compromises and design decisions, but where accuracy is concerned, I am looking at photos of the original prop and things like the mouth position or audio sensors that you mentioned are essentially correct, or as close as can realistically be at this scale: http://www.starwarshelmets.com/original%20atat%20helmet.htm
I would be interested to see these MOCs that you think are better than the official design.
@CapnRex101 said:
"There are no official schematics of the AT-AT driver helmet I am aware of..."
You don't know you know about the Riddell plans then? They were a company that used the actual screen worn props to create plans for a series of replicas. They were later taken over by Master Replicas and unfortunately the Riddell replicas were cancelled, but the official schematics for all the helmets still exist and again, are easily googleable.
As for the 'flared out', can you seriously not see the inward curve of the actual prop and how the lego set has utterly failed to recreate that?
Also you keep referencing 'only one overexposed photo' as being wrong... yet the Star Wars Character Encyclopedia: Updated and Expanded edition states clearly "Pilots wore an all-white insulated jumpsuit along with white boots and driving gauntlets." So even from official sources, its saying it should be a different colour. Also, with all the various action figures that have been made by various companies even before Disney took over... why has no-one ever corrected the fact their armor as being depicted as white if its wrong?
Also again, it seems quite clear we're massively differing as to what we both deem as being accurate. So when you've already done your own search for mocs and judged them all as inferior while giving zero reasons as to why, and you seem to be purposefully missinterpriting me in an attempt at bellitlement, its rather pointless wasting any more of my time with it.
As said previous, in the interest of group harmony, I'm ending it here.

If you've never been to New Elementary (https://www.newelementary.com/), you'd love it there.
@GrizBe So you haven't linked to any mocs, and you're citing a DK book as a source.
It looks good but to me it looks a bit squashed compared to the reference image. The IRL one seems to be a bit longer. The curve around the respiratorat the bottom seems to be a bit understated too but I understand that something like that would be a nightmare to include.
Still cool for what it is.

Firstly, I would question your interest in 'group harmony' given the tone of your comments, but never mind.
I am familiar with those schematics, which are notoriously bad, but I have never seen one of the AT-AT Driver and cannot find that online. There are plans for the TIE Fighter Pilot helmet though, which is obviously very similar to the AT-AT Driver helmet.
I now realise what you are referring to about the armour around the circular features on the chin, which does indeed curve inwards towards the pointy nozzles. Again though, I am not sure what alternative the designer had to using the Technic turbine elements. Recreating their curvature exactly would require a specialised piece.
With regard to the colour, AT-AT Driver helmets are grey. I provided a link to photos of the original prop in a previous comment and their colour is not disputed. However, I fully understand why this remains a topic of conversation because the aforementioned over-exposed photo was basically the only source available to manufacturers, book publishers and therefore fans for many years, hence everyone believed the uniforms were white. Eventually, they realised their mistake and some more recent merchandise has been the correct colour, though not all, presumably because Lucasfilm does not pay much attention to these details.
As for the book you mentioned, there are two possibilities there. It could simply be a mistake on the part of the author and something overlooked by Lucasfilm, not unlike the many mistakes we see in LEGO books. Alternatively, those character encyclopedias and visual dictionaries are often republished with additions and amendments many times over, so that particular passage could predate the realisation that AT-AT Driver uniforms are grey. Much of the content in DK Star Wars books published even now comes from the 1990s and that could be one such case.
Lastly, you never asked me to criticise those MOCs and I am not inclined to do so publicly, but other commenters already have and I agree with them.
Thank you for another great review. I have been enjoying your Star Wars reviews for many years and have always found them to be enjoyable and insightful. Thanks again.
I am super excited to build this.
Since when is the UK part of Europe?
That dress is definitely white with hints of the most amazing gold.
I like the dress, and will buy it at 20% off... and another to keep sealed when it reaches 30% off. I got a collection reputation to protect.

In fact, the uniforms were blue because the art department mistakenly washed them with Max Rebo’s snout during original Dantooine filming that never made the theatrical cut.

The more I look, the more I’m impressed. I think this is the best looking helmet to date, and probably a day-one buy (it comes out on my birthday, after all).
might be my first LSW helmet. looks good.
A photo of a 1/6 scale action figure is an... interesting... choice for a reference photo.
@560heliport said:
"A photo of a 1/6 scale action figure is an... interesting... choice for a reference photo. "
I did search for a better one, but decided on this. As discussed in earlier comments here and on the announcement article, there is only one promotional image of the AT-AT Driver and that is extremely over-exposed, so gives the wrong impression of colour and loses a lot of small details. The drivers are never shown in focus from the front in The Empire Strikes Back and that is their only live action appearance, so screenshots were not an option either. I did consider using the design from Star Wars Rebels, but that helmet is distorted to match the style of Stormtroopers in the series.
Otherwise, I could have used photos of the original prop, but that is now in quite a poor state of repair and photos of it are not great. That only leaves images of other products depicting the AT-AT Driver and the Hot Toys figure seemed like the best option, both because it is very accurate and it goes some way to capturing the helmet's proper colour, which cannot be said for most products.

Which MOCS specifically? Otherwise your (already unhinged) opinions lose all value
You have to be specific, if you want to succeed at top-tier internet condescension.

Well, Pangaea started to break apart during the early Jurassic Epoch. So that was some 200 million years ago - or 1993, depending on who you're asking. I guess that means that the UK has been part of Europe for at least 32 years, up to two million years.
Just because we're no longer part of the same union, doesn't mean we're not still housemates. We just pretend to ignore each other, while still continuing to steal each other's food from the fridge.

You're definitely getting the worst end of that bargain. No one in their right mind would want English food.

I don't know. I have to be fair here, the Dutch aren't the greatest roommates. Have you heard our music? Don't you wish you hadn't?"
I've spent my time in Amsterdam clubs. Don't know if anything I heard was local.
I also remember going into a 'coffee shop' or two. For some reason, I don't remember exiting. Maybe, I'm still there...
Great model, given that I didn't remember seeing AT-AT drivers much in any of the 9 movies. A little overprices, but an accurate and good-looking model nothenless.
That amount of huge stickers kills it for me. I would have liked to add it to my collection but not all stickered up like that. Either do it right or don't do it.
Nice review CapnRex101! Sorry to see you get sucked in by someone like that.
