LEGO Star Wars -Dark Trooper Helm

Product Information

Dark Trooper Helmet contains 693 pieces, but is marginally smaller than other Helmet Collection models from this wave. However, the height of 18cm appears proportional with equivalent sets because the onscreen droids feature relatively squat heads. That difference arguably enhances this model, since third-generation Dark Trooper heads are not required to accommodate a human in-universe.

Dark Trooper Helmet portrays a droid, so differences between this model and previous examples from the Helmet Collection should be expected. I appreciate such continued variety and the designer has captured wonderful detail, considering the exceptional complexity of the onscreen Dark Troopers. The pronounced vent looks fantastic, for instance. Buy if: You're a Lego Star Wars fan and want to start (or add to) a Lego Star Wars helmets collection.

Step-by-step guide - Are you a newcomer to LEGO construction sets? No problem. There are clear, illustrated instructions in the box, so you can build with the confidence of a Jedi Master A bit of a quirk here – it isn’t technically a helmet – more of a droid head as Dark Troopers are droids, and this particular design are the 3rd generation ones employed by Moff Gideon to hunt down Grogu in Season 2 of The Mandalorian.

Additionally, the whole structure is tilted forward on the presentation stand, using 2x4 Technic hinge plates. The detailing across the underside is therefore paramount because that remains exposed from the rear. The stepped sloping displayed below appears rather awkward, but I am uncertain how that could have been avoided without new parts. Innovation [3] – Some really strong build techniques here, but LEGO needs to work on making darker helmets more visually distinct Coolness [3]– It’s not a classic Star Wars helmet, or head, and this would’ve been a 5 if it had lights That said, if you can find the right spot to display it (preferably one that’s in close proximity to yourself such as a work desk), that allows you to appreciate the subtle details, and shape, and if you really enjoyed seeing the Dark Troopers in The Mandalorian Season 2, you’ll likely be the right person for this set.Don't buy if: You're fairly new to building Lego - this build can be a bit fiddly - or if you're not a huge Star Wars fan. The set was provided for review by LEGO. All opinions expressed are those of the author. The Completed Model Keepability [4] – Not one of my favourite helmets, but it’s a droid head, and part of the collection, so will naturally hold its value and collectability.

Alternative models: If you want a more iconic Lego Star Wars helmet, you can't really get more recognizable than Darth Vader. We're also big fans of The Mandalorian and Clone Commander Cody. Consensus:A wonderful display set for Lego collectors, the Lego Star Wars Dark Trooper Helmet is a solid entry into the helmets collection. The build process is a little fiddly at parts, but the final result is well worth it: this is a very striking model.
