    Are there any Mego scaled repro army helmets out there?

    I know there is an actual AJ helmet, but has anyone seen repros of that? Nothing in the current plans, but I have toyed with doing Sgt Rock and Easy Company a few times, and that's always the biggest roadblock.

    Did the Playing Mantis version of Action Jackson have a military figure? Might have a helmet there.

        the lion rock ;line obviously had them as well, but they are smaller scale. is there some chemical that makes plastic bigger, similar to Naptha shrinking it?

          Yeah Playing Mantis had one and so did the EMCE Captain America, also Sgt Hatred in the Venture Bros. I think I still have the Steve Rogers helmet if interested

              Those Paco figures are molded, I believe.

                weren't those smaller? 7 inch?

                    The first issue Stooges were taller than titans and slightly shorter than wgsh. Body was very similar sized to t1. Most of the accessories were repro of AJ. The helmets were black but were Mego sized.

                      I had one of the old Curly heads and it was a tad smaller than their later repro Bruce Wayne head. So were the helmets oversized on those heads or did they shrink them a bit?

                        AJ had a small head and the helmets seemed to work across the lines fine. It had been years since have seen one in any case. I may have something in a couple days I have to check first tho.

                          Didn't the EMCE/DST Captain America set brought one for Steve Rogers?
