I got a "complete" Short Fuze in the mail today and the helmet does not look like it matches properly. I assume it's from an accessory pack as it looks more grey than green. The mortar is certainly not an original, it's grey as well. This crap drives me insane.
My question is, are any of the other 82/83 helmets the same as the original Short Fuze helmet? I thought if they were, I may be able to swap them to have the right helmet.

Thank's.

iirc the same helmet was used for Zap, Clutch, Rock'n'Roll, Grunt, Breaker, Flash, Hawk, Grand Slam and Steeler. (basically all of the '82 figures.)

i think it was also used for Duke, but a different colour. the Roadblock helmet lacked the tiny holes for clipping on visors.

I hate it when sellers say complete but its clearly acc pack weapons... you see it on evil bay all the time.
Drives me crazy!!!
Or when they dont mention stuff like really loose limbs, broken thumbs etc etc.
Usually they will say in the listing... "look at pictures closely"
sketchy!
where did u get him from?

[Torpedo Rob]

I guess I can swap for Grand Slam, Hawk or Flash helmets then as their's would have holes for the visor right?
I got it on Ebay from a seller in Ontario. I was all excited to buy from a Canadian as most of my purchases come from the States but was not happy with the buy. It was described as "comes with items pictured" but the picture was not very good. It's my own fault for not asking questions but it still bugs me when people are purposely vague when they know it's accessory items.
Thank's for the help guys.

what bugs me is all the "99% complete" guff and some times you look and think 'alf a mo, it's missing X,Y and Z. that's nowhere near 99% complete' and how do you even work out what percentage the accessories comprise any way?

It sure was fun keeping my post count to 2222 for a little while  , anyway this is an interesting tread and here's my imput:

Just to clarify what fellow Sundance stated, there were in fact colour distinctions between the helmets amongst the original 13 figures that came with one. Based on my experience, I was able to identify 3 main categories of green colors used for the 82-83 helmets, although there could be more subtleties such as color variations depending on the figure, the year and other factors:

• Per instance, the helmet of Clutch, Breaker, Flash, Hawk, Short-Fuze had a more off-green tone (if you put an accessory pack grey helmet next to it, you will see that the green ones do stand out).
• The helmet of Zap and Steeler had a brighter tone of green.
• While finally, the helmet of Grunt, Rock N Roll and Grand Slam were of a darker off-green.

Duke and Roadrock's helmets are also bright green (similar to Zap's and Steelers, not sure how similar though, or if it's the exact same color) and both either came with or without holes, due to a change that was made during the production run I believe.

Thank's again guys.

Great information there, that's the kind of stuff that's great to find/read on a forum.

I can't remember now. Somewhere in or around Toronto is all I remember. His Ebay location is T.O.

Always had trouble telling the helmets apart except when i actually put them on the figures for some reason.
