Eight LEGO Star Wars helmets we somehow didn’t get

The LEGO Star Wars Helmet Collection is rumoured to be finished, but it’s missed more than a few characters ahead of its reported end.

While it should be taken with caution, Promobricks reports that the LEGO Star Wars Helmet Collection will not continue in 2024 as the focus shifts to another collection of models.

However, the collection would be ending without covering many iconic helmets and droids so here are just a few that we somehow never received an 18+ set for.

8 – IG-88

IG-88, or any of the droids of the same make, is a recognisable robot that has appeared in many forms of Star Wars media, including a recent inclusion in a new form in The Mandalorian. Considering the detail of this character’s head on-screen, it could have made for an interesting LEGO Star Wars helmet.

7 – Phase II Clone Trooper

Despite the release of 75349 Captain Rex Helmet, we’ve yet to receive a LEGO Star Wars helmet specifically based on a standard Phase II Clone Trooper and the same can be said for the first phase of armour and 75350 Clone Commander Cody Helmet.

6 – Battle Droid

More prequel trilogy LEGO Star Wars helmets, especially to display alongside 75349 Captain Rex Helmet and 75350 Clone Commander Cody Helmet would have been welcome, including the iconic visage of the standard battle droid, as depicted by Destructiod.

5 – Bo-Katan Kryze

With a slightly different shape from some Mandalorian helmets, Bo-Katan Kryze could have made a good pick for the LEGO Star Wars Helmet Collection. Breaaad on Rebrickable demonstrates how the armour’s profile can be recreated in LEGO.

4 – Captain Phasma

With a minifigure and a BrickHeadz to her name, Captain Phasma might not have needed a third kind of LEGO depiction as much as other Star Wars characters but the chrome-domed captain could be a unique addition to the collection.

3 – Royal Guard

The Royal Guards are as intimidating as they are monochromatic but as Albo.Lego has showcased, that wouldn’t make for a bad LEGO Star Wars helmet build.

2 – Kylo Ren

As the central antagonist of the sequel trilogy, it’s surprising that we’ve not received a Kylo Ren helmet, though then again, there are no helmets for the sequels at all. Still, the character’s recognisable armour could be an interesting take on a LEGO Star Wars Helmet Collection entry.

1 – C-3PO

While R2-D2 has many LEGO Star Wars models, C-3PO is limited to minifigures and 8007 C-3PO. The character is perfectly suited to the LEGO Star Wars Helmet Collection as Albo.Lego demonstrates with a yellow build. Ideally, it would be entirely drum-lacquered gold but realistically, pearl gold would suffice.

LEGO has been a part of my life ever since I was young. It all started when my brother passed down 7657 AT-ST to me. It’s guided me through my early years, through school and eventually through my degree in journalism. I still have all my collection proudly on display, including my many NINJAGO sets, my favourite of all the LEGO Group’s themes. Outside of Brick Fanatics I am an avid gamer and enjoy a good game of Dungeons & Dragons.
