When LEGO introduced the updated Phase II Clone Trooper helmets in 2022, fans were excited for a more detailed mold. But one issue quickly stood out: the side holes on the helmets.
These holes were designed to fit rangefinders and visors, which makes sense in theory. In practice? Not so much. Here's why:
1. They Look Unfinished
For most troopers—who don’t use accessories—the holes serve no purpose. Instead, they leave the helmets looking incomplete, like something’s missing.
2. Poor Fit for Accessories
Ironically, even when you do add visors or rangefinders, the fit is often loose or misaligned. That defeats the purpose of the redesign entirely.
3. Uniformity Takes a Hit
Collectors and army builders know: consistency matters. When every helmet has a visible hole—even when unused—it breaks the immersion of a clean, uniform clone army.
The Fix: GCC Custom Helmets
We’ve tested tons of options, and the GCC Custom Regular Phase II Helmets are the perfect solution.
They ditch the unnecessary side holes, keeping the design screen-accurate, clean, and consistent across your army.

Whether you're a hardcore builder, collector, or display purist—these helmets restore the look the 2022 figures should have had in the first place.
