(...) I would lay very strong odds on it being a one-off custom that Lego didn't even do. This post: (URL) some info on how the movie happened, and there's a strong implication that the figs existed independant of LEGO before the movie. James (23 years ago, 15-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I think what they are talking about is this: (URL) but as we see here, this visor is just a regular lego visor. Maybe when lego decided to make the short film, they went the extra step. Maybe. -- Pawel (URL) (23 years ago, 15-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

My bit of idle speculation would be that this helm was done for a follow-on series to last year's Knight's Kingdom series, which was then subsequently scratched once the Harry Potter's license was inked. Hopefully it will show up in the near future. (...) (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)

A wood chuck could chuck two to eleven pounds of wood, if a woodchuck could chuck its own weight. According to a Wall Street Journal article, Richard Thomas, a wildlife expert from New York, estimated that a woodchuck moves about 700 pounds of dirt (...) (23 years ago, 16-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

But.... A woodchuck doesn't have opposable thumbs, so it can't chuck anything. Also, the bulkiness of wood, given that it doesn't come in small pieces like dirt, could prevent it being actively chucked. Rolled maybe, presuming woodchucks have the (...) (23 years ago, 16-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)
