    There are NASCAR Pez dispensers out there, they might work

      The Pez helmets will fit. Just be sure to use a smallish head such as a Bruce Wayne head.

        There were some racing champions figures out as well that had helmets with them. The Pez route is probably the cheaper, easier option.
        It's not a doll it's an action figure.

            You can dremel (Grind) out the supports in the helmet and make fit larger heads.

                  Hmmmm....

                  A few years back you could buy sets of Majorette cars that came with Mego scaled helmets. The racing ones need to be Dremel'd out; but they work.

                    Jim you looking for one in perticular or a general one. I bought loads of them. Send me a PM. A not as easy route is to look at the rc cars at Goodwill or thrift stores.
                    Check out my picture library of Mego-ish compatible vehicles with ID data.

                      Not to dredge up an old thread... but I did end up converting one of those Pez helmets, and thought I would share some pics. A very simple project to try out my new Dremel!

                          Ah, I should have made the connection!

                          But hey, I'll take any reason to revisit an army of Kneivels. Cool stuff.

                              When I saw that picture of Evel's, I completely lost control of my bowels. Thanks.
