Well... I don't think it's "supposed" to be that way, but that's how a lot of
them seem to get with age... a whole lot of mine do that, but not all of
them...
Some are also just poorly manufactured... The first two king's crowns that I
purchased both fell off at the slightest tap, even when new, but the newer
ones I've gotten aren't as prone to fall off... I also get the problem with the
'king kahuka' hats from the islanders and also the old style aquanauts stuff...
But I don't think they're "supposed" to do that... more just accidental or
fading with age...

Actually, the only place I remember ever seeing a visor being used is in the
very old castle stuff-- see:
http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/6000/6075-1981/
That shows some of the knights with the old-style space/motorcycle helmets, but
with a visor & plume piece that attaches, making it into a knight's helmnet.
