From Fashionably Geek: Hasbro sent us one of their customary new product image dumps over the weekend, and after a bit of digging we discovered one particularly interesting product—the General Grievous electronic helmet.
No details have been released thus far, but it seems as though you’ll be looking and talking like Grievous in no time. Check out the packaging shot after the break.

If this video is the real deal (movement away from the subject during the demonstration seemed a little suspect) a helmet with a shaving cream injection system and four servo-powered blades can shave your head from stubbly to “who loves ya’ baby” in 20 seconds.
Using something like this certainly isn’t for the squeamish, which is why I suspect that beard and pubes versions are probably a long way off.

From Fashionably Geek: If it took three years for these guys to create authentic Halo costumes from scratch, I wonder how long it would take to make a wearable suit out of Lego? Actually, that might be a little too difficult to suit up in—but at least we know that it is possible to make a wearable helmet thanks to Ben Calukins.
From Fashionably Geek: In case you haven’t noticed, realistic Stromtrooper helmets are pretty expensive. Fortunately, you can make one on the super cheap using two gallon-sized milk jugs. The process outlined by the blog Filth Wizardry is actually pretty simple, so much so that it would make a great project for kids.
Make sure to clean those bottles out thoroughly though. A helmet full of sour milk could get real nasty, real fast. Should probably use water jugs instead.
