Anyone else have trouble distinguishing between the different green helmets used on Zap, Steeler, Grand Slam, Rock N Roll, Short Fuse, Hawk, Grunt, Duke, Breaker and Clutch? Do some of the Rock N Roll and Grand Slam helmets look dark gray to you guys?
Also, has anyone had a hard time getting Starduster's helmet to line up straight with the star in the middle? I was putting the helmets on my Stardusters last night and one would not line up equally over both ears so now the star is not centered. I was actually hesitant to put the helmets on these because last year I snapped a perfect logo helmet in half trying to put it on a Starduster. Of course after breaking that helmet I put the black visor somewhere safe and now I can't find it.

I think the Grand Slam and Rock N Roll are the hardest to match. Apparently they are dark gray but some seem to be a really dark green. Then the Grunt helmet used on most of the others seems to have some variations. Zap and Steeler seem fairly easy to match. Duke too.
Is Breaker's helmet a different green than Grunts/Hawks/etc green helmet? I have the accessory sets MOC so that helps eliminate those out of the mix. Still going through 100-150 of these guys and their helmets is tough. . Last edited by spiderpumpkin; 10-19-2011 at 05:36 PM.. |

A few years back i purchased a Rock N Roll off ebay. The helmet was the dark gray. I thought about returning it because I thought it was not original. Since then I've come to believe it is the proper helmet.

As far as the Stardusters go, it could have something to do with the head differences. Perhaps one of the versions is slightly larger than the other. I'll check in a little bit. I have noticed that some of his visors don't fit right too.

there also is a color difference between mail aways, sold in stores, straight armed versions, etc. just so many different ways they were sold. then take in account foreign and UV discoloration and accessory packs. and that leaves us with a gazillion color differences.
