During the Battle of Coruscant, late in the battle, the ARC trooper's red- colored jaig eyes could be seen atop his helmet. It was divisive there and will probably prove divisive here, too, for how it trades the smooth tubes of its source material for jagged, stepped slopes. That’s pretty much all thanks to the source material, because this is easily the most unique Clone Trooper helmet in all of Star Wars.

The in-universe history and cultural significance of jaig eyes, as well as their full name of jai'galaar'la sur'haii'se, were detailed in the Star Wars Insider articles Guide to the Grand Army of the Republic and The Mandalorians: People and Culture, written by authors Ryan Kaufman and Karen Traviss. Star Wars The Black Series includes figures, vehicles, and roleplay items from the 40-plus-year legacy of the Star Wars Galaxy. One of those is the 501st leader himself, whose unique helmet fuses together both Phase I and Phase II designs. The most successful sets within that template are those that can keep things simple – Boba Fett, The Mandalorian – and certain compromises need to be made with characters like Rex.Captain Rex Helmet includes 854 pieces, and when first seeing that number on the box we were worried the RRP would jump to match 75304 Darth Vader Helmet – the only other set in this collection that can rival its part count.

LEGO Star Wars 75349 Captain Rex Helmet sits in scale with the rest of the helmet collection, measuring 21cm tall, 12cm wide and 13cm deep. Imagine the biggest battles and missions in the Star Wars saga with Black Series lightsaber and helmet roleplay items! That’s really the crux of it, because this is maybe the most complex helmet shape the LEGO Group has attempted outside of the Stormtrooper, and – in the interests of that aforementioned consistency – 75349 Captain Rex Helmet must fit into a predetermined template.

With exquisite features and decoration, this series embodies the quality and realism that Star Wars devotees love. The highly-accurate Captain Rex collectible figure is specially crafted based on the appearance of Clone Captain Rex in the acclaimed animation series featuring meticulously crafted and finely detailed recreation of Rex’s distinctive Clone Trooper armor and helmet, interchangeable head sculpt with amazing likeness, skillfully applied weathering effects, his signature dual blaster pistols as well as a blaster rifle, a detachable jetpack, an Ahsoka’s Clone Trooper helmet, and a figure base! During an off-the-books mission to the planet Onderon that required Rex to forgo his personal trooper armor, the Republic captain carried his awarded jaig eyes over to new, non-military attire. The variety withinthat assortment comes through in the particular character choices, colour schemes and so on rather than the build experience, which is mostly a case of adding sub-assemblies to a core constructed from seemingly endless brackets. This collectible Black Series helmet is detailed to look like the Clone Captain Rex character from the Star Wars: Ahsoka series.Couple that with sky-high expectations – for not only a fan-favourite character, but the first of two new Clone Trooper helmets –and 75349 Captain Rex Helmet has the weight of the galaxy on its shoulders. The jaig eyes, however, became a symbol of honor among the Mandalorians, a unique marking awarded by clan chieftains as a means of recognizing a soldier's outstanding bravery. These are dense builds, with plenty of tiny parts, so the value proposition really comes down to whether you prioritise the build experience or the sheer volume of plastic. If you like this format but prefer original trilogy characters, check out 75304 Darth Vader Helmet and 75327 Luke Skywalker (Red Five) Helmet. The final model isn’t massive, but it is pretty dense, and there’s some fiddly construction to achieve all those angles.
