Waay back when, I had a yellow castle. *le sigh* My folks gave it away.
Waah. ):
The helmets in the yellow castle set were actually two pieces. One was
the visor with the crest, and the rest was the helmet. So you could flip
up the visor and see the knigget's face.
That's not the case with the clone troopers. They are quite similar in
some respects, but there is a big protruding lip around the chin area of
the helmet. It would definitely be noticeable if it were produced in
another color without the Star Wars detailing. That, and the back of the
helmet is definitely StarWars-ized with detailing that is very
Stormtrooperish. You could maybe pass off the front of the helmet as a
great helm, but definitely not the back, unless your knights are into
visible plating.
