Hey, come on! Lego at least provided the Space group a few more space helmits! The green one, however, looks like a mix between
Boba Fett and the Green Goblin. The black helmit looks like it belongs to Batman more than anything else.
I'm not even going to call what they're armed with "swords," mainly because they don't look like swords. Megablok has made better
swords than these.
I've even given some thought to purchasing one of the large figs! Mainly the "Jayko" one, so I can bleach the head, mess with the
nose, and call it "Jacko."
