(...) I just assumed that they custom made that piece for this specific skit - ala custom making the shields and cutting off the wings from the Batlords' helmets. The mace used in drumming would also be a custom piece. I would be overjoyed if they (...) (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Python movie on the Lego website, I rushed right over to try and watch it, but alas could not because of browser problems or something. Now that I see the picture, the "new" visor looks absolutely awesome. I agree that the helmet under there (...) (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I've gotta agree with Pawel here, I think it was a custom visor. I can't see Lego going back to the old style space helmet. Jeff (23 years ago, 15-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

Here is an interesting point. It appears that the helmet has the 3 holes for the plumes like the modren visor. yet there are no plumes in it[1]. Why take the time to make a custom piece, just for a lego movie, and add features that you are not going (...) (23 years ago, 16-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I thought the exact same thing. Plus, one has to consider that this is VERY unlike the DIY sculpey helmets we have seen from others -- this thing has to snap onto an existing helmet form and stay in place using two teeny protrusions to do the (...) (23 years ago, 16-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)
