More LEGO Star Wars Helmet Sets Coming Soon!

Revealed ahead of Nuremberg Toy Fair, the LEGO Group has announced two new additions to its popular series of Star Wars helmet-building sets, both linked to the 20th anniversary of the Clone Wars – those events in the Star Wars galaxy which kicked off in the 2002 film Star Wars: Attack of the Clones and continued in the animated series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars. LEGO Star Wars fans will soon be able to join the Grand Army of the Republic by building the instantly recognizable helmet models of Captain Rex and Clone Commander Cody, two iconic heroes from the Clone Wars as they arrive in two new sets for fans, available from March 1st.

The 854-piece set based on Captain Rex’s helmet captures the iconic blue trim and range-finder of the 501st battalion’s clone captain, one of the most famous characters in the animated series The Clone Wars and second-in-command to Jedi General Anakin Skywalker.

Clone Commander Cody’s helmet is recreated in a new 766-piece set, bringing to life the striking orange detailing of the helmet that appeared prominently in many episodes of The Clone Wars, with Clone Commander Cody standing alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi as another commanding officer of the 212th clone battalion.

Each set is highly detailed and features printed nameplates of each character, making them perfect collectibles for any LEGO Star Wars fan and the perfect build-to-display models to mark this milestone anniversary for the Clone Wars.

“For two decades, the Clone Wars has shaped a hugely important story in the history of the Star Wars saga, and we feel immensely proud to be bringing two of its key players to life for fans around the world,” said Jens Kronvold Frederiksen, Design Lead for LEGO Star Wars. “These rewarding, relaxing builds should be able to take pride of place for any LEGO Star Wars collector and offer a new way to create, display and enjoy these iconic characters who played such a pivotal role in many stories that we know and love from the galaxy far, far away…”

According to research from the LEGO Group’s global Play Well 2022 Report, 80% of adults are looking for new ways to unwind and relax (80%), with the majority of them (92%) wanting to unwind and find their flow through activities that are related to their hobbies and interests, including beloved product lines such as LEGO Star Wars.

Since 2020, the LEGO Star Wars Helmets portfolio has continued to grow with iconic helmets recreated from the Empire, dark side, and others. In March 2022, the company launched its latest two products: #75327 LEGO Star Wars Luke’s Helmet and #75328 LEGO Star Wars The Mandalorian Helmet.

The 854-piece #75349 LEGO Star Wars Captain Rex and 766-piece #75350 LEGO Star Wars Clone Commander Cody helmet building sets are going to be available from March 1st from LEGO retailers, official LEGO stores, and the Online LEGO Shop priced at 69.99 / $69.99 / £59.99 / 89.99 CAD /99.99 AUD. Each set has a recommended building age of 18+. For more information, visit the LEGO Star Wars section of the Online LEGO Shop.

    I’m surprised they waited this long to make these. Both characters are so popular. I think they are my favorite helmets so far. Oh, and the Mandalorian helmets.

      Because Bad Batch season 2 just dropped.

    I really like Cody’s helmet. Rex, I’m not sure.

    These look good. I like them both. But the price is a little high.

    I was always fascinated by the construction of the helmet sets. Building in every direction from the center out. Very cool.

    Always wanted a commander Cody helmet, so happy about these! I know it’s not practical, but I wish they made them life size! 😀

      I think they made the Black Panther bust nearly life-size, but it seems the set largely has been a flop… Too big and too niche to have sold all that well…
