Which characters should join the Helmet Collection?

Phase 2 Captain Rex, Phase 1 Clone Trooper, Death Trooper, Death Trooper, Tusken Raider.

Oh and Kylo Ren en Captain Phasma

Yoda!

Not really a fan of these, but if they're looking for new ideas, they could do a whole series of personalised Clone Trooper helmets (Rex, Cody, Wolffe etc) various different Mandalorian helmets (Mandalore, Bo-Katan, Armourer erc) and some more Imperial helmets (SNowtrooper, Shoretrooper, Death Star gunner)
Could also do a run of bounty hunters, like Boussh, Fennec and Jango Fett

Grievous, Rex, Cody, Death Trooper, generic Phase I or II clone trooper.

Tusken Raider, Sidon Ithano, Knights of Ren, Enfys Nest, Kylo Ren....this list could go silly long now

oh and Ubese Helmet

Captain Rex and Captain Fordo, Phase one or two. I'd also love something as colorful as Sabine's helmet, from any season

My go to might be the Shoretrooper. Trilla Suduri (second sister, Fallen Order) or purge troopers would also be very cool. Oh, and the Jedi Temple guards!

Of course, though, any Mandalorian or Clone helmet is more than welcome. I've seen many suggestions for Boushh or a Tusken Raider, and those seem cool, too.

And, not technically a helmet, but Embo's hat would be really nice.

Not a big Star Wars fan so don't have a wishlist for these. Instead I sort of googled around and put together a list of what I think LEGO is likely to release, based on the demographics they're going for:

Kylo Ren (obvious choice, popular character)
Imperial Red Guard (seems in line with their "villains sell" mentality)
Tusken Raider (if they can get it to not look too boxy or derpy)
Lando Calrissian (looks cool + nostalgia + popular character (I hope))
Boushh (memorable + nostalgia)
Clone Trooper (I don't know much about Star Wars between 1990 and 2015 so I don't know which version they would do, but these seem to be popular and a bonus is that you can do some recolors and sell the same product to the same people more than once with minimal redesign)
Jango Fett (palette swap existing sets and print money)

But ultimately I do think they will prioritize characters that, all other things being equal, can be palette swapped or minimally redesigned for new SKUs. That's what I would do if I had that kind of money machine.

Definitely snowtrooper, Jango Fett and Captain Phasma. And some red helmets will be nice - so imperial guard and sith trooper. And shore trooper to have another helmet in more interesting colour than black and white.

I love all these suggestions! When the poll comes out, it's going to be impossible to pick my favorite one! I wonder if the technology allows for a checkbox poll instead of radio button one?

C3po with lots of drum lacquered gold pieces!

Ideas:

ROTJ Y-Wing Helmet
Various Clone Helmets
Naboo Starfighter helmet
Naboo Royal Guard helmet
Cad Bane's hat
Fennec Shand helmet
Bo-Katan helmet
Grievous Kaleesh mask

Snowtrooper
Hoth Rebel trooper
AT-AT driver
AT-ST driver
Royal guard
Boussh
Endor Rebel Trooper
Shoretrooper
Kylo Ren
Fennec Shand
A-wing driver
B-wing driver
First Order trooper
Clone troopers

Clone Troopers have to be the future; there are so many designs they could go with. One not mentioned yet would be Commander Gree with his silver, dark green, and camo bringing a super unique and vibrant color scheme.

Jabba the Hutt :)

General Grievous!

Imperial Gunner has a very cool helmet, and that would be a challenge to do in Lego.
Clone Trooper, but I think they're aiming for a non-specific character, so any generic Trooper helmet would be OK.
Leia's Boushh helemt from RotJ

Some video games helmets please

Of course this is the same Lego group that suggested the Gunship didn't need to come with any minifigs and they just added some for fun (not the ones that fans wanted)... So the Dark Trooper continues the design philosophy... Only the BES.... whatever goes!

It's a pity Jedi Bob won't happen :(

Samus Aran...

I'd really like C-3PO, but it would be awkward... The real character would be like 'please kind human, where is my body? I do not like this!' Also, apparently, the Dark Trooper can be used as armor, so there's LEGO's out.

Seeing a Clone Commando helmet would be awesome

None. These helmets suck. I don't collect heads, I collect minifigs (and sets of course).

First one that popped into my head was Fennec, but I'd also absolutely love phase 1 and 2 clone troopers

For color, Imperial and/or Praetorian Guard.
On the subject of Rogue One stuff though - I don't think anyone mentioned Tank Trooper helmet yet. Always liked that one.

Snowtrooper, kylo ren

"I'd like to see the classic Castle helmets, the barred face one, the wide splayed one, the dragon masters with the dragon shape on top.

An afol after my own heart, I see.

I'd love to see a classic space helmet with, like a radio on a stand, but Ice Planet with a helmet and chainsaw model would slay me.

A very interesting statement.

I've thought about it a bit, and I think LEGO will stay with the original trilogy for the moment. The sets from the Sequel Trilogy are, in my opinion, unlikely, because most adult fans didn't like them. For the same reason, Bad Batch sets are also unlikely.

Snowtrooper, AT-AT / AT-ST driver, Imperial Gunner, Death trooper and Royal Guard are in my opinion the most likely of the Original Trilogy. And maybe Rebel Fleet Trooper.

It will be a while yet, but perhaps in 2024 we will see Prequel Trilogy helmets. The most likely in my opinion are Phase I Clone Trooper and Phase II Clone Trooper, probably the 501st legion, because it was popular. I suspect that Rex is impossible due to the rather complicated helmet ornaments. Cody is much more likely, especially because of the characteristic binoculars. Also, I'd love to see the Airborne Clone Trooper Helmet.

Besides all this, the Fennec Shand helmet is potentially likely, due to her appearances in The Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett.

I am waiting for more photos of the collection!

Leia's Danish pastries.
Luke's ROTJ Hair.
Llando's Bouffant.

A clone (maybe the hot topic known as Cody?).
C-3P0 would be cool to see.
Grievous' head could reimagined well into LEGO I guess.

I think it is about time that the prequels get some love

Clone troppers!!!!!!

To be fair, my wallet would prefer they do none of this. Same with all my display shelves, which have overflowed onto every level surface. I suppose if they do it, I'll settle for appreciating them and seeing what fun things people do with them.

Do a Breen Confederacy helmet. Sorry, I meant 'Boushh'.

Another vote for Boussh, Tusken Raider and Anakin's Podracer helmet.
Maybe a round of hoodies? Obi-Wan, Emperor, Jawa...

understoodthatreference.gif

If done well, I'd love to see:
Tusken Raider
Imperial Royal Guards
Leia's Boussh disguise helmet
A GIANT Rancor head

I’m gonna go with a really odd choice, and say the first helmet Luke wears in the OT. We never really get any explanation for why it happened to be on the Falcon in the first place, or why it was stored in what is basically the rec room, but it is arguably one of the most important helmets of the OT.

After that, give Jango some love, go weird with the Death Star Gunner helmet, and Anakin’s podrace helmet might make an interesting design.

But what I expect they’ll do is AT-AT Driver, AT-ST Driver/Veers, Royal Guard, Snowtrooper, and Death Star Trooper for the Imperials. For the Rebels, there’s other deco for the X-Wing/Y-Wing helmet, plus A-Wing, B-Wing, Rebel Fleet Troopers, and Echo Base Troopers. For other groups, there’s Cloud Car Pilots, Boushh, Lando’s skiff Guard disguise, and a few of the Cantina patrons and Jabba’s Palace denizens had helmets that might be interesting. For the PT, there’s Naboo pilot, a host of Clonetrooper helmets, and you could argue that Greivous has a helmet. Get into animation, and there are several other Mandalorian helmets they could go for.

Outside of SW, I’d buy Deadpool and Harley Quinn in a heartbeat. There are several alternate Batman coals and helmets they could do, like the TDKR or BvS armored helmets, a dark-blue cowl, or Batman Beyond. Firefly, Mr. Freeze, and Scarecrow could make interesting helmets. Black Mask probably wouldn’t. Flash is the only other original JL member who has anything resembling a helmet. Ranging further afield, you know Benny’s helmet would sell like crazy.

I think Boushh's helmet or a red Imperial Guard would look neat.

I know it won't happen, but I'd like to see some helmets from Star Wars Rebels. Specifically Sabine's helmet and Ezra's painted Scout Trooper helmet. The Imperial Cadet helmet might also be interesting. Kanan's mask or a temple guard helmet would be nice.

The obvious answer is Jyn Erso ala 75119

I would like a non star wars helmet. Id love to see a classic lego helmet, or a mountain bike or moto helmet would be super cool.

@Glacier_Phoenix:
When did Shoretroopers appear in the OT?

@Librarian1976:
Won’t happen. Even though the 1st Amendment protects works of parody, and Spaceballs absolutely qualifies, Brooks pre-agreed to forego merchandising the film to avoid any risk of being sued by Lucasfilm. Once agreed, they are now bound to those terms, and Disney could sue them if they fail to abide by them. Spaceballs is owned by MGM, which is currently in the process of being swallowed up by Amazon.

Original Trilogy: snowtrooper seem to be the most obvious trooper helmet left. I feel like it would've gone well with the Hoth wave they did this year but oh well. I also think a Royal Guard would work and would add a bit of vibrancy to the line, although its design might be a bit simple

Prequel Trilogy: obviously a phase 1 and 2 helmet. For the phase 2 helmet, since there's lots of plain white helmets already, it would be cool to have either a 501st version or a 212th version. Alongside that Commander Cody would be great, and I think it's more likely than a Captain Rex because he wasn't in any movies. The droids and Grievous would've been great but I guess that isn't happening.

Sequel Trilogy: Kylo Ren. I'd prefer the episode 7 version (coz I hate episode 9) but I could see them doing the latter in order to get some red in there. First Order Stormtrooper / Sith Trooper are a little less important because there's much more iconic storm/clone troopers to do, including Phamsa

I would love to see both phases of clone helmet, making them a named character would add some colour. As others have said, Shoretrooper would be nice, as would the Imperial Guard, both of which would add some nice colour.

On the less likely/more complicated end, I'd like to see a Rebel Fleet Trooper, although I can imagine the smoothness would be spoiled

Dengar's bandages. Nah just kidding. Id like to see the helmet Luke wore on the Falcon when Obi-Wan was training him. Death Squad Trooper, Rebel Fleet Trooper, Imperial Royal Guard, Endor Rebel Helmet or a Clone from Kashyyyk Would be awesome. If they did Droids Id like General Grievous. Also I can sorta see the Dark Trooper because they started out Human so maybe they were originally Helmets

Bee Hive Trooper Helmet!

Clone troopers obviously. Royal guards. Kylo Ren, Jango, Maul mando, probably some from the good guys as well, not just the villains. Not sure if droid heads would count. Probably not. But yeah shouldn't only limit to helmets. Maybe just add a head line...

Sith trooper or Elite Praetorian Guard helmet.
And it is of utmost importance they'd be only available at Comic-Con, since it is the most convenient way to obtain quirky IP-based sets and complete one's collection. Well, I might be wrong, but I want to trust the company's judgment on these matters.

4-LOM all the way

and IG-88

Zuckuss would be a bust not a helmet? Have his head on Jabba's trophy shelf?

Sandpeople and Jawa's. Tough as recreating fabric in lego

Any helmet that protects against seagulls will do.

Helmets I'd love to see (in no particular order)

Captain Rex
Commander Cody
Jango Fett
Clone Trooper (Phase I)
Clone Trooper (Phase II)
Royal Guard
Sabine Wren
Death Trooper
Shoretrooper
Snowtrooper
AT-AT Pilot
Wedge Antilles
Biggs Darklighter
Kylo Ren (non-reforged)
First Order Stormtrooper
First Order Flametrooper
Captain Phasma

AT-AT driver is the first thing that comes to mind. And this is a personal niche interest of mine, but if they continued releasing Rebel pilot helmets (Biggs, Wedge, Gold Leader, Red Leader), I would be down...I'd prefer that they rely solely on printing and avoid stickers whenever possible.

As others have mentioned, Boushh seems like a solid choice. And someone else mentioned ROTJ Y-Wing pilot helmets, which have potential. Possibly A-Wing/B-Wing pilot helmets as well. I'd say yes to a Snowtrooper, but that might be difficult to pull off at larger scales. The facemask is a lot of canvas/cloth But, if you do that, you pretty much have the basis for an AT-ST driver helmet as well. I would say Tusken Raider, but those bandages might be hard to pull off.

I'm more of an OT guy, but they could get some mileage out of an Assault Tank Commander/Transport Trooper helmet. Lots of clone variants to be done. Clone ARC-170 or V-Wing pilots. Rex and all the important captains. 501st. Shocktroops, etc. Jango and various other Mandalorians.

General Grievous, Phase II Clone Trooper, Royal Guard, Jango Fett or Count Dooku.

I would love to have a version of Sabine's helmet, Imperial Guard, and Leia's Boushh helmet!

Kylo Ren
Boushh
Lando's Tamtel Skreej helmet
Imperial Guard? (for colour)
Zorii Bliss?

The range could do with a colour injection purely from an aesthetic point of view.

As most have mentioned, I would like to see a phase 1 and phase 2 clone trooper. I'd also like Grievous, Kylo Ren, Imperial Guard, shore trooper, Boushh, and Jango Fett. Honestly just anything from the prequels would be nice.

"Lord buckethead"

Jawas! What's not to love about Jawas! Utini!

@Bycougars said:
"Captain Rex and Jango"
Janjo fett is a obvious choice and I hope it comes out

Janjo fett and jawas

Any clone trooper would be great. I like the suggestions of Boushh and Sabine Wren.

Genaral greavous is a good idea and also count dooku

Clone wars clone wars clone wars and clone wars! The line is cool but I have not bought a single one and don’t care to unless it’s clone wars

The comment about avoiding characters with real personality is odd. Do Carnage, Venom, Batman and Darth Vader somehow not fit the category they’re describing? C-3PO was the first that came to mind considering post-Dark Trooper options. I have Boba Fett, which I feel is one of the few that’s translated well to this format. (The battle-damaged look of Boba’s helmet and armor in the OT makes the studded texture work…Unlike basically every other helmet which would benefit from smooth tiling.) Luke’s X-Wing helmet looks pretty good as well…Just don’t find the over-emphasis on monochromatic subjects all that appealing.

@deathmoth said:
"The comment about avoiding characters with real personality is odd. Do Carnage, Venom, Batman and Darth Vader somehow not fit the category they’re describing? "

I would stick to Star Wars when making that point, but Darth Vader certainly seems a rather large exception to that "rule."

Ahhh, but it always depends on what the actual terms actually say. Furthermore, I know these things to be true,'nothing is forever ' and 'money will always find a way'. You are undoubtedly correct, nevertheless, but I would like that Dark Helmet. It makes me laugh just to think of it!

As far as SW goes, cannot really add anything to the great suggestions already. I have all the rest of them (including the 3 Marvel ones). You know I won't be able to stop buying, now. They really need to keep up the cool designs and stay away from easy passes like Batman (the only one I refused). Don't make empty hats!

Captain, would you please give us a couple more shots of the helmets from a shelf perspective or something not so top-down? It's hard to fully appreciate them from their crowns.

A Tusken raider head would be cool. Possible a Jawa head as well to have two Tatooine heads.

Clones or royal guard. I bet they tried to do c3po, at least a concept. They did that infinity gauntlet.

Royal Guard (for the color), Kylo Ren (because why not) and clones.

Death Trooper or Royal Guard

Jabba’s head and belly

Babu Frik helmet heeee heeeey. Or just a Pyke.

@merman said:
"The most obvious one missing is the Snowtrooper"

this

I'll say Boushh Leia, Tusken Raider, Royal Guard and Snowtrooper. I would agree that a Jawa would be neat as well.

If they do a Jango Fett helmet , I hope they realize what meme-making material they're HEAD-ing for.

;-)

Sabine Wren and/or Bo Katan Kryze would add some color

Boussh is a definite need.
I'd love a Rex helmet but with the design we'd get lame stickers.
Royal Guard in red (not blue) would certainly look great.
Kylo Ren's helmet before he bashed it in a tantrum.
Phase 1 clone.
Zorii Bliss
Fenic Shand

It's a ridiculous answer they give about not doing C-3PO.

AT-AT Pilot, making the new Hoth sets complete.

Personally I think C-3PO would be the best option, but I don't think they'd be able to do it justice with the proper shaping, let alone the drum lacquered parts. The Infinity Gauntlet at least allowed some dark tan and blended pretty well.

As for other SW universe actual helmets...Jango seems likely since everyone enjoys a Mandalorian.

I'd think Poe's helmet could work since they just did Luke's.

Kylo's makes huge sense considering he was a main antagonist.

But I agree, need something with a bit of color to stand out instead of more black or white options.

@Eno_Razzi:
I’ve been seeing a shirt design that features the Ep5 bounty hunters line up as their Kenner action figures, so when there was still the possibility of droid heads, that’s the first place my brain went...and then I saw Dengar on the left. Forgot about Bossk, too. I’m really not sure what we’d be able to get for Zuckuss, since I don’t really know how much, if any, of that is his actual head.

@StyleCounselor:
The thing is, there might not be a paper contract, but Hollywood does operate on handshake and verbal deals, and producers have successfully sued actors who told someone they’d be willing to take a particular role only to have a change of mind before putting it on paper. Regardless, the only official Spaceballs merchandise I’ve ever seen is copies of the movie and soundtrack. Ironically, considering the “merchandising” scene, any Spaceballs shirts or (yes, really) pandemic facemasks are unlicensed. I would love to see a Spaceballs LEGO theme, but I’m not even going to slow my breath down for that one.

@Veynom:
“Why not?” Darth Tantrum is reason enough to not do his helmet.

I love Legos deliberate omission of any Prequel helmets. They sure do hate that trilogy!

I kinda wanna see a pod racer helmet.

@Terrasher said:
"Jar Jar head on a pike."

Noooooooooo not Jar Jar!

I may be in the minority, but I think there are enough.

While Venom and Carnage might not be in the “Helmet Collection”, I think Marvel has enough marketing power to warrant inclusion. MCU helmets could include:

War Machine
Ant-Man
Spider-Man (probably tricky due to webs)
Star-Lord
Classic Cap with wings
Black Panther
Classic Thor with wings
Wasp
Hela (would love to see how they would do it)
Raimi Green Goblin
Ultron (I suppose this is a “droid”)
Zemo with purple mask glued on

General Grievous, Captain Rex, AT-AT pilot, Commander Cody, Boussh, and Finn's First Order helmet with a bloody hand print

"I really wish they made the AT-AT pilot helmet. A snowtrooper helmet could be cool, and same with a veers/AT-ST pilot one. Maybe Kallus too?"
You can do an At-At pilot by recoloring the Tie Fighter Pilot.

Space Balls The Dark Helmet

How about the “Red” helmet of the Elite Praetorian Guard?

"it would be cool to have a go-brick-me-esc P1 and P2 clone helmet for maybe $80 with a bunch of extra pieces to, for example, make a basic P2 clone helmet into a Cody helmet. Also I know this article was asking about star wars helmets, but I'd love a spider-man helmet/mask set"

hey charz
marvel masks are cool yeah

maybe they could do a rex helmet

Rex all the way

Already been said but I agree a Pike would be very fitting right now and pretty cool.

Veers

@iwybs said:
"Phase 1 and Phase 2 clone troopers, obviously. Commander Cody, Captain Rex. Then maybe a First Order stormtrooper."

I think Clone helmets would be amazing display pieces and I'd love it if they made versions for the 501st or 212st troopers

How many times does this have to be repeated? LEGO will not do Rex, they have a problem creating a regular figure! And even if they did not, the complicated ornaments on the upper part of the helmet hatch it.

At some point you've got to have a clone trooper helmet, I think Phase 1 might look better just because that fin would distinguish it a bit from the stormtrooper. You could also do those big sink basin helmets the rebel troopers have but I suspect that would just be a lot of space on a stand

the mask of life

@darkstonegrey said:
"Queen Amidala's gold and red headdress."

Yes! That would so be a helmet worth buying.

The only element that I do not like about in this series is the studs, thus making the whole design idea less attractive (to me). Unfortunately I only notice the studs due to the large proportion of it, i.e. the ratio vs the size of the helmets themselves. It gets worst when 8 helmets are put together, while the Luke Skywalker (Red Five) Helmet being an exception from this perspective... Anyway, as shown in the prior comments it looks to become a popular series.

How about something other than Star Wars? Judge Dredd, Black Knight (Holy Grail), Doomguy, Master Chief, Leonidas (300), Magneto.

Sabine!
or
Ezra's "cadet Stormtrooper" helmet

I'd be all over a Kashyyyk trooper, an ARF trooper or an Airborne trooper.

@Terrasher said:
"Jar Jar head on a pike."

I bloody love Jar Jar - now C3PO, I could get behind that.

As for the helmets, honestly, I've enjoyed them all so far, and Lego's selection if I'm honest. SW is not short of helmets, so this could be a very very long series.

I would like to point out that Boss Nass has never been reproduced in LEGO.

I've always thought Grievous would be a great choice, and then perhaps a battle droid "helmet" to go with it. Also an Imperial Guard helmet to go with it, and maybe that bone-masked helmet of Lando's from ROTJ.

I love Star Wars but not a fan of this collection so far.. however a C-3PO set would pull me in. In fact I challenge the designers to make the head from The Phantom Menace version of Threepio.

@Anak said:
"Shoretrooper helmet. Unique color, unique shape."

Came here to say exactly this. It's still imperial, but unique in its color and design. Also easily redone into a tank driver for a future release with a simple color swap!

@iamkevinwill said:
"I love Star Wars but not a fan of this collection so far.. however a C-3PO set would pull me in. In fact I challenge the designers to make the head from The Phantom Menace version of Threepio."

Probably easier than doing a "standard" version of him! Getting all those surfaces in gold would be difficult and/or costly.

I'd go for IG-88...while not a helmet, it would make for a unique piece to have displayed with the others.

Clone troopers are the obvious ones, of course. Ideally they would be one of the coloured variants (a P1 captain or 501st trooper, for instance), but doing a named clone like Rex or Cody would be just as good.

Outside of that, I agree that colour variation is sorely lacking so far, notwithstanding some of the great designs. To remedy that, I'd suggest either a Sith trooper, a shoretrooper (ideally a captain), Sabine's helmet or even an Imperial royal guardsman.

IMO the Red 5 helmet being open could, er, open up the possibility for something like an Endor rebel helmet or Lando's helmet disguise from the early RotJ scenes.

Finally, one of the Inquisitors. My first thought was the Second (?) Sister from J:FO, but if they pop up in the Kenobi series it could be the perfect time to get one.

Obvious candidates would include a classic Generation 1 Clone, and helmets of specific clones such as Captain Rex, Commander Cody, and a member of The Bad Batch. But other candidates include the helmets of: Kylo Ren, an Imperial Guard, an Inquisitor, Sabine Wren, Bo Katan, Fennec Shand, an A-Wing Pilot, and General Grievous.

And though a bit off topic, I'm calling it now: Marvel helmets for Star Lord and Ant Man!

@Block_n_Roll:
Every one of those would require a new licensing deal except Magneto (under the existing Marvel license) and Leonidas (as a generic Spartan helmet, like how the S2 Spartan Warrior may have been inspired by The 300). The 300 is a copyrighted work, which would require a contract with WB for use of the logo. The comic and film adaption are graphically violent, and unlikely to happen. Judge Dredd, based on the two movies, and what I know of the comics, is less likely to happen because there’s no generic option. Master Chief is right out because it’s from an FPS, and it’s licensed to a different company. For the Black Knight, the nudity featured in Monty Python works may pose a hindrance to licensing, but I don’t recall there being any in that specific movie, so maybe? It would certainly sell, but there’s not much else from the MP library they’d be likely to want to base sets on. And I’ve never even heard of Doomguy, which doesn’t give me much confidence regarding how well it would sell.

Or you could have just said, "Yeah, nice in theory, but not likely to ever happen." Just for once, wouldn't it be good for someone to be able to offer an alternative to Star Wars without being attacked for it?

I'm well aware that all my suggestions present problems, for various reasons, but there are plenty of people out there who'd like to see something other than Star Wars. A wishlist doesn't need to be realistic.

And I'm sorry for not realising that a character from one of the most famous game franchises wouldn't sell because you hadn't heard of it. My bad.

@Block_n_Roll:
Sure, try to throw the blame back at me. I looked up Doomguy (never heard a name for that character before) and that’s from another graphically violent FPS, which they have clearly shown a desire to steer clear of, including by banning FPS content from Ideas consideration.

Read the entire comment section and you’ll see that some of us suggested DC characters, Marvel characters, and original IP helmets. I suggested at least one helmet for all three of those categories, all of which are viable options. There are lists of Marvel characters, one of Classic Castle helmets, and at least one Nintendo character, all of which are viable options. And you come here and, aside from Magneto, the entire list you posted shares graphic violence with exaggerated amounts of bloodshed, only one of which does so in a comical way. I mean, did you expect people to say those were sensible suggestions that stand a good chance of happening? You might as well have suggested the masks worn by Jason, Michael, and Leatherface. Or you could have disarmed your comment by noting that most of them would stand a snowball’s chance of happening.

And out of at least two dozen non-SW helmets that have been suggested here, the only other one I shot down was from Spaceballs, because a lot of people seem to not be aware of Brooks’ agreement to not merchandise the movie and think a Spaceballs theme just needs to a show of support to happen.

Kylo Ren is the obvious choice (only Sith Lord in the movies besides Vader that has any kind of helmet I believe).

If you want to talk other universes beyond Star Wars, the obvious choice would be a Thor helmet (the way they did the Rebel Pilot helmet shows helmets that are more open can be done). Maybe whatever he is wearing in the new movie (if he is wearing one). Would go great with the Thor Hammer set.

Ant-Man and Magneto are the other Marvel helmets with any kind of recognition but I don't see either being as popular as a Thor helmet. (and we all know the way LEGO treats X-Men...)

@jonwil:
Darth Tantrum is a Sith wannabe. He’s largely self-taught, as there were no remaining Sith Lords to train him. Vader, Sidious, Maul, and Tyrannus were the only four legitimate Sith Lords to appear on the big screen. Tantrum would have sold well enough prior to the completion of the Disney trilogy, but that last film drove home what many of us had been saying from the start, and Disney Trilogy merch doesn’t have quite the selling power it once did, which is why the streaming shows are getting such intense focus these days.

And the X-Men are tricky. Much of the issue was that Fox rightfully refused to just give up rights to the X-Men just because Disney was pressuring them to do so. Disney retaliated by issuing a blanket refusal to approve any movie-based merchandise deals Fox floated, significantly reducing the profitability of the films. They cancelled the Fantastic Four title outright, but X-Men titles were too popular for Marvel to just drop them. Still, they tried to shift focus from the X-Men to first the Inhumans, and later the Eternals (neither to any degree of success). But now that Disney owns 40% of Hollywood, they don’t have any reason to continue their pogrom against the X-Men, so expect to see movies announced at some point followed by merchandise tied into those films.

Ever since they've started doing these sets, I've wanted a proper General Grievous bust, a-la this beautiful shot from the visual dictionay.

Especially including that neck-gorget, I think it would stand as one of the best busts of the series, and a fine addition to my... collection. *cough cough*

The helmet Leia wears as Boushh

K-2S0, General Grievous

check rebrickable!

So many good suggestions already, but one I haven't seen in the other comments yet (although admittedly I haven't read them all - there are so many!) is Rey's fabric head/face wraps and goggles, from the start of episode 7, as per the piece that came with some of the Rey minifigures in the first wave of ep 7 sets.

Boushh, AT-AT driver, imperial guard and tuskenraider :*

"How about... literally anything from the prequel trilogy?"

The what?! Does not compute! ;)

They are not something I collect. I just like yo look at their pictures. I mostly agree with Grievous , it would be nice. So is Kylo.

Sauron

I would definitely like Lego to make Kylo Ren and Sith Trooper helmets, I think they would really compliment the existing set. A C3-PO head would be amazing though!

Ashoka Tano and Darth Maul...just saying.

Snope's Decapitated Head

I'd personally pick:
- Shore Trooper
- Phase 1 Clone Trooper
- Phase 2 Clone Trooper
- AT-AT Driver
- Death Trooper
- Jango Fett

I would love to see the AT-AT Pilot helmet and the Snow Trooper Helmet. They are great designs for the Imperial side and for the Rebels, the Y-Wing Pilots helmet is a cool design.

count dooku's head separated by clear pieces, :)

The Bad Batch would be fun

I’d like to see the collection expanded from just Star Wars to all of Lucasfilm (and after all, they also have similar ones for DC and Marvel, so why not?). Indy’s fedora, various helmets from Willow, etc. could make for a delightful range. I don’t expect it to happen, but it’d be cool.

"A very interesting statement.

I've thought about it a bit, and I think LEGO will stay with the original trilogy for the moment. The sets from the Sequel Trilogy are, in my opinion, unlikely, because most adult fans didn't like them. For the same reason, Bad Batch sets are also unlikely."

Wouldn’t that be a reason the Bad Batch helmets are likely, though? I think a much higher percentage of fans who’ve seen the show like it than like the ST (though of course the ST has far greater recognition to begin with…).
