GG mini helmets?

Why are the Tomy mini helmets being sold on the GG site? Are they incorporated? I remember along time ago GG were going to make mini helmets. There was a poster with a bunch of different ones.
Are these the ones they were going to make?

Thanks.
I wish GG would pick up after the Riddell line and make medium size mini helmets. I have the whole line up from Riddell and was pissed they never put out the tie fighter helmet prototype.

Aren't we all. Hopefully GG will release THEIR helmet series soon!

I took an IQ test and the results were negative.

I thought that was the GG armory. GG did the scans and stuff for the pieces, so I just thought it was GG's work that was produced by Tomy. Kind of like GG doing the sculpting for certain Diamond Select pieces.

They are 1/6 scale too I believe. I don't know...maybe GG will come out with something better...these are plastic I believe...a la Helmet-Ups!

Oh no. Those "things" were NOT made by GG my friend.

Let's just wait for the pics form NY Toy Fair.

Well, maybe not actually manufactured, but I know I read that these were done from GGs scans.

Basically I wasn't sure if GG was taking a different route and thought the Helmet-Ups would be better financially than resin or metal based pieces.

I'm not sure and I hope you are right and they actually do something else of better quality.
