Holy CRAP. I HATE these things. I have had a Short Fuze for a few months that I was certain came with a crummy gray accessory pack helmet. I just got a Hawk in the mail who at first glance seemed to have the same stupid helmet. Then I compared the two and the Hawk one seems to have a twinge of green to it...enough to make it basically match his uniform. Then I switch the helmets between the two and the Short Fuze helmet I thought was gray seems to be okay on Hawk. Maybe I can't get the right lighting, but I have checked yojoe, ebay, google, Bellomo's books, and the actual figures, some extra helmets I have, and I can't get one helmet to match up to another. Then I traded for a v1 Roadblock helmet. I was always told it was supposed to be the same color as Duke's, but this one isn't. However, it doesn't match any other color for any other figure, and it's only half a shade darker than Duke's. And none of these are 2000-era accessories.
I am thoroughly confused. Do the medium-colored first series figures have perfectly matching outfits and helmets, is it just sort of close, close only when compared to each other, or do they all melt into a bizarre gray color over 25 years? I am going to go bald over this and need my own stupid helmet. |

This thread reminded me of how pretty much 5 minutes after getting Tiger Force Duke (back when I was little) I lost the helmet.
Good luck figuring this out though. |

Nope, sounds like you got the weapon pack helmets.

I have the hardest time matching those helmets up and it does have to do with the lighting. I have had the same problem where they look green and in a different room they look grey. cant stand it!
