Playmobil Medieval Helmets

Typical soldier helmets such as 22 tm 25 are always very usefull. Nothing too flashy but perfect soldier helmets, the kind of helmets no medieval collector could ever have enough of probably. 

As for knight helmets.. 6, 8, 13, 14 and 15 remain the best designs for a knight, at least in my opinion. Out of these, I gues I like 13 the most. Perhaps because I only have one of that one, and multible of the others.

I'd still like to get some more vikings sometimes though.. I really like helmet 4. Still hoping to get 23 sometimes too, does that also come with vikings?


And you forgot the classic knight helmets.

it would be # 30 but in silver.
You meant the nurember guards right?

That one comes with the new Red Falcon Knights I know. It might come in some Viking sets too though.

Yes, I'm fairly certain the old shiny helmets were of style 30.

the nuremburgers had 2 different helmets, one for the captain and one for the regular soldiers, but they are similar.. there are also the old shiny conical helmets 

Personally I am a huge fan of #25 and I also like #2 a lot too 

[Pynedor]

My favourites are 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, and 21. 12 looks quite good on the Dragon Knights though. 5 would be nice to have with other plume colours, and I'd like to see some black helms in the future.

20 is probably my least favourite of all. It's quite awkward...

OH yes!! a huge helmet, chromed with three feathers on top. It covers the head down to the shoulders. It's huge! I had forgotten about those.
