Which characters should join the Helmet Collection?

Posted by ,

Three new additions to the Helmet Collection will be released tomorrow, joining five previous models in the series.

Many other Star Wars characters feature famous helmets though, offering ample inspiration for additional designs. We therefore invited suggestions for which characters should join the Helmet Collection earlier this month and received nearly two hundred responses.

The sixteen most popular suggestions appear in this poll. Vote for your favourite below...


Which character should join the Helmet Collection next?

AT-AT Driver
C-3PO
Captain Rex (Phase II)
Clone Trooper (Phase I alternative officer colours)
Commander Cody (Phase II)
Death Trooper
Fennec Shand
General Grievous
Imperial Royal Guard
Imperial Shoretrooper
Imperial Snowtrooper
Kylo Ren
Leia Organa (Boushh)
Rebel Commando (Endor)
Sabine Wren
Tusken Raider


The original article made reference to comments from the design team, suggesting that droids were not being considered for the Helmet Collection. However, I think they are worthy of inclusion because I suspect the designers' opinions could change, depending on interest in certain droids among fans.

Which character received your vote? Let us know in the comments.

Went for Leia's Boushh helemt, but it was a close call with Fennec Shand.

If they can make a C-3P0 with Gold Ink parts then i'm all for it. If they make it with Warm Gold and Sand Yellow then not so much.

Voted for Kylo Ren.

A lot of good choices!
Personally, I hesitated between the Phase I Clone Trooper and Commander Cody, but ultimately I went for the Phase I helmet. For me, it doesn't really need coloring to denote certain ranks, I think it should be plain white.
But maybe I misunderstood the intention and it suggested colors are an addition that can be removed?

Gravatar
By in United States,

Yep, this should totally be a "vote for your favorite 3" or something like that.

Gravatar
By in United States,

I think Kylo ren should have been excluded as a choice since it’s inevitable that he will appear.

Gravatar
By in United Kingdom,

I went with Grievous simply because his angular, spiky head is greatly different from any of the previous helmets. Gotta go for variety in the line up

Gravatar
By in United States,

I understand this article is talking about star wars, but I still want to say this, I really hope we get a Spider-Man Mask for the helmet line

Gravatar
By in Germany,

Commander Cody would be nice. They said C3-PO won't be in this, since it's his head, same goes for Grievous. Kylo Ren's helmet could happen and Tusken Raider sounds very interesting and could add a lot to the diversity on the series.

Gravatar
By in United States,

For me its a tie between Fennec and Sabine, i would love to see both!

Gravatar
By in United States,

Helmet or Droid Head? I think they should be separate categories.

Gravatar
By in United Kingdom,

Even without owning them all, maybe some more pre and post empire.
Like clones, people from animated series and sequels.
Went with phase 2 rex, white and blue could stand out nicely
Kylo ren with red reforge cracks seems too likely to not happen and more imperial helmets are also very likely with how much the Lego star wars team loves the OG trilogy.

Gravatar
By in United States,

I definitely think they should make a P1 clone helmet. They have yet to do anything from the prequels(or sequels) so they will hopefully amend that with some respectable offerings. I nearly voted for Sabine Wren because the helmet collection could use some color, but they have already done two mando helmets. Boushh and Fennec Shand both sound intriguing as well.

Gravatar
By in United States,

Firstly, i don't think 'heads' should be included - like C3PO or Grievous. Secondly, just because I think a helmet will be included (Kylo Ren, AT-AT driver) doesn't mean that's what I'd buy. That being said, I would buy a Leia Boushh helmet day 1 (that's what I voted)

Gravatar
By in United States,

C-3P0 please!

Gravatar
By in Romania,

Folks, it’s a HELMET collection, so the droids i think they are not suitable for this poll. Ok, the dark trooper is a mix, i guess, only because the “trooper” name.

My personal choice is Kylo Ren, by far.

Gravatar
By in United States,

I love the P1 commander and hope to see it some day. I’d also love Commander Pyre or Ezra’s Scout Helmet but I doubt we’d get those. Also a resistance pilot helmet? Or the second sister!

Gravatar
By in United Kingdom,

Dredd!

Gravatar
By in United States,

We need more good guys, and as much as I love Sabine we already have two Mando helmets. Any of the clone choices would be nice, but what I really want is more rebel pilot helmets. Also, Finn's bloody handprint helmet would be rad as hell, though I doubt Lego would be ok with it.

Gravatar
By in Ireland,

Kylo Ren is inevitable. It was between Tusken Raider and Boushh for me. Either should be more interesting than the next empire/first order [whatever-variant]-trooper.

Gravatar
By in United States,

I think a Sith Trooper would be a winner.
That stunning red finish would be a great display.

Gravatar
By in United States,

@behemothjosh:
Grievous is a prototypical cyborg, who I think was the basis for Darth Vader’s life support system. If you look at extreme closeups of his head, the eyes are organic, his flesh is a really dark, almost black shade of green, and his “head” is just an armored shell. He gets shot in his exposed organic heart (seems like he should have died from a trivial infection long before we first saw him).

Same!

Gravatar
By in United States,

Kylo's the obvious choice (I'm not actually into these helmets but I'm surprosed he's not already in there), but Grievous would be sweet. Technically not a helmet... but I wouldn't complain!

Which Kylo would it be? Normal Kylo, or patched-back-together-red-streaks Kylo? Or even the shredded version--perhaps a three-in-one that could be built into all three configurations. For that matter, a melted Vader helmet might be an interesting build, too.

This was my first thought as well, a "naked" C-3PO. It would be quite the challenge at the scale of these helmets.

By in Norway,

There was a few good ones i wished for. But ended with C-3PO

Gravatar
By in United Kingdom,

Always liked the snowtrooper.

C-3PO does need some kind of build set creating though.

Gravatar
By in United Kingdom,

I went imperial Royal guard, mainly for the colour, would really stand out and be distinctive than just another mainly black or white one. The line could do with a bit of visual variety.

Gravatar
By in United States,

C-3PO! And maybe R2's dome?

Gravatar
By in United States,

Aw, we can vote for only one? Unfortunate.

Wicket’s hood isn’t even an option? Doubly unfortunate!

@Be_hapi said:

Well, of course they wouldn’t do c3-po. This is only for Star Wars characters, like C-3PO. :p

Gravatar
By in United States,

Captain Rex and Kylo Ren should be no-brainers for LEGO at this point, they’re both popular named characters

Gravatar
By in United States,

Be honest, everyone who picked C-3PO:

You just want the gold pieces don't you?

Gravatar
By in United States,

Outside the Star Wars universe, I'd love to see a T-800, a Cylon, maybe Robocop? Probably all 'too violent' for Lego, but would still be cool to see.

Gravatar
By in Netherlands,

I am personally not that interested in the helmet sets. A set of Grievous' head, however, would be very nice to have.

Gravatar
By in United Kingdom,

Grievous would be glorious, different angles and shapes.

Probably see a clone helmet next though.

Gravatar
By in Canada,

If fact, they should make a completely new series of droids heads where the Dark Trooper would be item number 1. This list would include: C-3P0, IG-11(or 88), K-2S0, HK-47, battle droids, Professor Huyang, AZI-3, EV-9D9, 2-1B, RA-7, TA-1313, 8D8. You could even add Aly San San and R-3X.

As for Helmets, I voted Boosh. Second choice would be Tusken raiders and third: Fennec Shand. I.e. more colours to the lot! I also think it is a given that Kylo Ren will eventually be made.

Gravatar
By in United Kingdom,

The helmets haven't interested me as I don't really buy sets purely for display, but I would leap at the chance of a generic Clone trooper helmet with different officer/ specialist options included as I am a big fan of Clone troopers. The only CCBS figure I bought was Commander Cody.

Gravatar
By in United States,

Something from the real world or iconic lego please!

Gravatar
By in United States,

C-3PO is really one of the few interesting options, in my opinion. A Tusken Raider could look great, and would be unique among the rest given its fabric-heavy nature. Sabine Wren will likely always be a long shot (..unless she eventually shows up in live action), but hers and other decorated helmets like Bo-Katan and the Bad Batch would also be among the best candidates for the theme I think. *..Supposing it would happen without heavy-stickering, which is also doubtful :]

Gravatar
By in Luxembourg,

75343 that is being released now is a droid head. It's thus fair to include other droid heads in the poll, in my opinion.
Voted P2 Rex, although a customizable P1 clone helmet would be great, too.

You don't have to wait because someone on rebrickable made a spider man mask MOC. Which uses almost all the pieces from the Carnage set and the instructions cost $6.

By in United States,

General Grievous fanboy here, the cyborg Kalee warlord would look stunning as a bust to me. Plus, the Helmet collection's getting a bit saturated with Original Trilogy/Galactic Civil War material, I think we all know that at least some Clone Wars material would be appreciated. Rex and Cody would be great alongside Grievous too I bet, here's hoping!

Gravatar
By in United States,

I chose Cody because the character is epic, but Sabine Wren or General Grievous would probably also look incredible.

Gravatar
By in United Kingdom,

We definitely need a Dexter Jetster bust.

Gravatar

C-3PO wouldn't look right unless it was gold chrome...which they won't do.

Which Characters?

Star Lord
Black Panther
Ant-Man
Wasp
Thor's Helmet
Mighty Thor's Helmet
Hulk's Gladiator Helmet
Captain America's Helmet
Ultron's head
Captain Marvel's Helmet

There's plenty of DC characters too, but we all know how LEGO feels about DC rn

As for the original prompt of Star Wars:

All six Knights of Ren (I'm serious)
First Order Storm Trooper (Sith Trooper and/or Phasma variant like Venom/Carnage)
Zorii Bliss
Bo-Katan
Gar Saxon
The Armorer
Paz Viszla
Clone Pilot (Phase I)
Clone Pilot (Phase II)
Boba Fett (BoBF)
Jedi Temple Guard
Battle Droid Head
K2-SO head
...and that's just scratching the surface

If Lego removed the description of "helmet" from the set line/description, they could release so many more without worry of being corrected all the time.

I voted for Death Trooper, would if voted for more if it let me.

Enfys Nest’s helmet is gorgeous too!

Gravatar
By in Poland,

Honestly, these Brickset polls are hopeless in such situations. They work great when new set is announced, but in such cases it just doesn't make sense. Forcing users to only have one choice is not even funny. There should be at least 5 options.

C-3PO for all the dem delicious gold parts.

Gravatar
By in United Kingdom,

…and the 1st and 2nd place winners in the ‘Which Helmet Next’ competition are a cyborg and a droid. Neither of which are wearing helmets

Gravatar
By in United Kingdom,

Since LEGO has produced 75343 Dark Trooper Helmet, I think humanoid cyborgs and droids could be considered for the series in future, even though the designers suggested otherwise during a recent interview.

After all, what factors would exclude C-3PO from consideration that do not also apply to Dark Troopers?

Gravatar
By in Belgium,

Too many good choices to choose from. Why not all of them? Star Wars & LEGO fans would love it!

Gravatar
By in Australia,

Nice selection, but I'd love to see a Death Trooper the most. They've been my favourite troopers since their debut.

Gravatar
By in United States,

Out of those choices my top three would be 1. General Grievous 2. Kylo Ren and 3. Commander Cody.
If done correctly C-3PO would be great, also a Shock Trooper would add some vibrant variation to the collection.

Gravatar
By in Australia,

The Infinity Gauntlet (and the amount of gold it has) shows that they could absolutely do a C-3P0 and make it work.

Gravatar
By in United States,

I haven’t really been tempted by this line just yet, Mando helmets are the closest, but if they did Grevious I would more than likely be a buyer.

Gravatar
By in United States,

If they include droids, then might as well change the line from helmets to heads (or as a separate line).

If LEGO is going to do C3-PO they should do it right. Full body and be in scale to R2-D2 75308.

I personally don’t like them but if I had to have one, it would be C-3PO. Only if it’s done in gold bricks.

I don't care for these helmet sets because they're not for me.

I went with the Tusken Raider in the end. Iconic and featuring in new SW media. The head/helmet itself would be very different looking to any of the others released so far.

Honestly, I feel this would be more likely than producing all those gold pieces.

Some of the choices start to feel repetitive. Even when I built the Stormtrooper and TIE Fighter Pilot, they were very similar until the hoses at the end. An AT-AT driver would be too similar. Same with Mandalorian helmets. Now that we have Boba Fett and Mando, others start to feel too repetitive. I guess adding a female helmet (Sabine, Bo Katan) would change the shape a bit.

I voted for Boushh Leia, but any of the top 6 on the poll would be great choices.

Gravatar
By in United States,

Any of the clones would be a good addition. My preference would be commander gree, but otherwise, phase 1 alternative officer colours. A Jango fett would be nice or the seventh sister’s helmet as well.

Gravatar
By in United States,

It also would be cool if the helmets came with minifigs

What about Dark Helmet?
