looks like and awfully thin box to be a full helmet... the recent Star Wars electronic masks have been called "helmets" as well, though I'm not sure how they qualify.

related: I saw the full-head ROTF/DOTM Optimus Prime helmets on sale at TRU for $22.99 - that's $7 less than Target currently has them for!

with those star wars helmets.. i always though that the helmet came in halves, where in the packaging the back half was flipped around so that it could be packed tighter. i never really bothered to find out for real lol.

anyways. it looks pretty damn cool. it's not the type of thing that i would buy, but it really does look quite nice.. i'd probably be ALL over it if i were a kid.

I hope a group of people get together, mod them with walkie-talkies, night vision, infrared.. you know, the works. And use them as part of a Power Rangers style vigilante group. I can't wait to see that on the news.

Maybe you could get a bunch of nerf guns too an start shooting people on the street too. Oh, and don't forget to wear power rangers full costumes.

Yeah, same here. I've also seen Tranformers party favors, napkins, and paper plates, but didn't think I needed to report the sighting.

Things like party favors, napkins, etc. probably not. New toys including the role play stuff, yes.
