You’ve probably been longing to show your more ferocious side to the world. If so and if you have a reason to wear a helmet (heck, even if you don’t), try out this outrageous wolf design! It’s furry and has creepy eyes and gross teeth. According to the manufacturer, it’s badass and will incite jealousy. It will also probably cause heads to turn.

This one-of-a-kind Legend of Zelda helmet is almost too beautiful to wear. It might keep your head on your shoulders and your brain in your head in an accident, but the ruined artwork would still leave you crying. Redditor phrenetiKz commissioned the work, directing artist tealighted to create something that looked like it had been done with a Sharpie marker. The result is one beautiful helmet.

What to do when you want a 1:1 scale Terminator helmet replica from Warhammer 40K? If you’re the resourceful and artistic sort, you build one. SK-OC made this beautiful-yet-creepy helmet from scratch. He stated the design changed a bit before he stuck with this one and that eventually he plans to go back and add lights and more weathering. I think the aging already looks incredibly well done though.
Be sure to click the helmet to enlarge and soak in the details.

Every other company on the planet better step up their game right now when it comes time to dole out service awards to their employees. Blizzard, which was founded in 1991, unveiled their service award for those who’ve been with the company for twenty years.
After a sword at five years, and a shield at ten, employees get this amazing helmet from Diablo III at twenty years. It’s based on Archangel Imperius with a few changes made by Blizzard’s Vice President of Art & Cinematic Development, Nick Carpenter. This might be the coolest service award ever.
Maybe at 30 years employees will have a complete set of armor.

This completely wearable Predator helmet is an original sculpt made from fiberglass—and despite looking like it would weigh a ton, weighs only 2lbs. You can order it unfinished and dremel out the eye holes and do finishing yourself or pay a bit more for a ready-to-wear version. A combination of waxes, metal rubs and airbrushing create the realistic metal suface and weathered details.

If you have the skills to fashion a helmet from steel, well, why wouldn’t you? Craftsman Shannon Clawson admired the Nord helmets in Skyrim so he forged his own out of steel. That sounds like an intro to a commercial. Anyways, it turned out awesome! Be sure to watch the video after the break to see how it came together. You’ll be impressed.
The As You Wish Helmet Project is raking in all kinds of impressive helmet mods. We saw the Iron Fett helmet last week, and this time around we’re drooling over Thomas Spano’s twist on the Darth Vader bucket. He’s combined the Sith’s mask with H.R. Giger’s Alien, and it looks terrifying and awesome all at the same time. Seriously. The creativity and craftsmanship of this piece knocks my socks off.

Iron Man and Boba Fett. Just think about that pairing for a minute. They’re both awesome characters with very cool armor. When Alex Alva decided to participate in the As You Wish Helmet project he chose to mash the two characters up in his design:
Obviously, Iron Man was the inspiration, but the real inspiration came from meeting Stan Lee at Comic Con in Dallas. I am a huge Spider-Man fan, but in talking with Stan and listening to his passion for Iron Man and his excitement about the Avengers movie, I was inspired to focus on Iron Man more than Spider-Man.
This helmet isn’t all about looks either. It was created for a good cause. Iron Fett, along with 49 other helmet designs, will be on display at Star Wars Celebration VI next week in Orlando. It will go up for auction on eBay on Thursday, 8/23, and all proceeds will go to Make-A-Wish.
