Does anyone know if the other helmets from 1997. The ones that came with Duke and in the Star & Stripes set are the same color as the helmet that came with Hawk?

The tiny, poorly-lit photos on YoJoe aren't a lot of help for this, are they?
I wish I could give you a clear answer, but unfortunately whenever I didn't like the lame accessories that repaint figures from this era came with, I re-equipped them with gear from their V1 counterparts. So my '97 Hawk is wearing his V1 helmet. What I can say is that I don't think I changed the helmets on my other '97 figures because they were close enough to the originals. The helmet currently sitting on my Duke is a darker, more bluish-green than the ones on my Stars & Stripes figures. I can't speak definitively for Hawk, but I don't have anything among my spares that matches Duke's. The "All Geared Up" photo of Hawk on YoJoe is wearing a helmet that's darker green than Stars & Stripes but not the bluish hue of Duke's, and I do have a few like that in my spares. |

They were all the same and too small. You get white stress marks on them once you put them on the heads.

Tell you what, I'm going to ask this question in the "GI Joe ARAH Vintage Toy Line 1982 to 1994" Facebook group and see if any of the experts there have these figures with their original gear and can post photos.
Despite the name, the group will accept discussion of figures beyond 1994 so long as they're classic o-ring style. Update: Just posted the question. We'll see if anyone comes through. Last edited by Josh Z; 03-04-2024 at 01:12 PM.. |

Unfortunately, have not gotten a clear answer on Facebook yet, just some vague responses pointing me to older photos that don't show a direct comparison of helmet colors. I think members of that group probably don't care for the '97 figures too much.

the only thing that group is really good for was getting cheap o-ring figures before the bubble hit.

There are at least a couple members who are real experts regarding super-subtle variants in the 1982-94 line. Stuff undocumented anywhere else, like mold markings and differences in accessory plastic color. If it weren't for that group, I would never have noticed that "reverse rivets" 1982 figures were a thing. I also don't know anywhere else to find comparisons between, for example, Airborne and Ripcord rifles vs. the versions that came with the Tactical Battle Platform.
