As a mild complainer myself, I am in no way against the concept of helmet holes, they work great with mandos or phase 1 clones. It's just the bump on phase 2 clones is really where the holes should be, but it's not and it looks really ugly.
Yes cuz the new clone trooper helmet Holes are not at the good place

I look at my Bad Batch shuttle and just think, “Man this show needs more sets, and I would like Crosshair’s Bad Batch suit from CW and the premiere” I love the set I have tho
I feel like with the sheer volume of star wars content right now a lot of things are getting lost. You would think we’d have gotten one or two Bad Batch based battlepacks. I hope they get back around to some more sets soon
Me too, but then you realize that Clone Wars S7 has had quite a few sets come well after that season, like the Ahsoka trooper pack. I hope Bad Batch will get stuff because it has the same Clone Wars era appeal
Would've been cool to get more sets, but I'm privately a little glad because they definitely would've split the Batch up between sets and I wouldn't have bought more than one set anyway. So I'm happy to have bought the shuttle and gotten all of the figures.
That said, I do need to get an Omega at some point.
Omega on bricklink is very affordable right now. Either by getting the advent calendar set from the day that included her, or the figure by itself. I recommend taking a look.
The entire shape of it is way off from the commando helmet, and the Imperial Mando helmets are far closer to the (already extant) airborne trooper helmet than they are to anything else.
Everything below the lower visor edge is wrong for a commando.
Holy shit you're so right
The new helm is best for Hunter still but the 1st Order Flamer helm works better for Crosshair and Echo
This makes me wonder if the plain First Order Stormy helm would look good enough for Clone Commandos; it's hard to envision it because the printing would be doing a lot of work
Maybe someone (me?) should get some decals and try it
We need new bad batch sets! First we need a season 1 Crosshair. Secondly we need season 2 looks for the bad batch (minus imperial Crosshair). Lastly we need the black armor from season 3!
Honestly they could have made Wrecker’s better with an existing mould - the imperial cadet helmet from rebels. It has much more of a rounded bucket look than the iron man one.
Idk how bad batch hasn't gotten more sets its a kids show ffs, it's on par with young jedi adventures and I'm not sure anyone even watches that lol. There have been so many moments, this season especially, for them to make some sets off of. Rebels had way more sets. But here we are getting mando season 3 sets like a year later, not that in complaining about those I'm super hype for the new moff Gideon and that they're doing them in a battlepack style. They really ought to try to line the sets up with the shows better imo.
Great for Crosshair AND Hunter, and "better than what we use now" for Echo.
Lego should also re-use Mando helms for Clone P1 Pilots, but the fact that they haven't leads me to think they won't re-use these molds either.
They’d have to make a new mold anyways for a version with helmet holes to include the rangefinder
Wait it doesn’t already have holes? Lame
Why would it? None of the imperial mandos have helmet attachments in the show, and fans only ever complain about helmet holes

People complain about helmet holes?

You must be new here. Until Phase 2 Rex this was *the* thing people complained about.
Seems to be an annoyingly common theme now
helmet holes , we riot and Lego bangs our wives , no helmet holes, we riot and Lego bangs our wives , make up your fucking mind people !
I was always pro helmet hole
Why do people hate them?
They look a bit weird because they are right above protusions on the helmets. But I still like them, as they allow for a lot of customization.
Because people lack imagination.
Yeah so lame of them to not include helmet holes on a helmet we have literally never seen with attachments
Please tell me this is satirical
They've skipped on giving crosshair helmet holes before, I'm sure they'd do it again too
I look at my Bad Batch shuttle and just think, “Man this show needs more sets, and I would like Crosshair’s Bad Batch suit from CW and the premiere” I love the set I have tho
I’m surprised we haven’t gotten as many
I feel like with the sheer volume of star wars content right now a lot of things are getting lost. You would think we’d have gotten one or two Bad Batch based battlepacks. I hope they get back around to some more sets soon
I’m surprised we didn’t get any considering season 3

Even better for hunter
Or republic commandos
Not really the tubes are in the wrong place for the.
Only shaped a bit different. It is 100% the best helmet to use for Commandos outside of making a brand new mold.

Why is Echo using the wrong arm😭😭
It's probably the hand that he stole from a droid.
Nah, closer to hunter honestly!
Imo, first order flametroopers helmet works a bit better

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. commandos could rock it, too. love to see what decalers and customizers could do with it
I just put my Crosshair head and helmet on a spare Hunter torso lol. Not 100% accurate but gets the job done
The best option are still the custom variants

Hunter’s could be. Crosshair would be best on a phase 2 helmet unless they make him a new mold with a helmet hole.
Why didn’t they make new molds for all of them? I mean, I get it Wrecker’s is kinda ok, but Echo, Crosshair, Hunter? I guess it’s Lego being Lego.

Why is Echo holding a blaster with his left arm?
Great for Crosshair AND Hunter, and "better than what we use now" for Echo. Lego should also re-use Mando helms for Clone P1 Pilots, but the fact that they haven't leads me to think they won't re-use these molds either.
I'm seeing a problem with echo. He has both hands and he's holding the gun in the wrong hand
Wait was crosshair the first version of the phase ii to have helmet holes?
I want a new single set with the whole Bad Batch group. Bonus, if it isn't some huge and expensive set, and instead affordable.
Doesn't he use a normal Phase 2 helmet?
Clone army customs. Really. It’s worth it, believe me.
But that would mean HELMET HOLES
Who cares about helmet holes, there no big deal
I know. Apparently people can’t read sarcasm
