the baron's helmet

[barto]

Was wondering what people thought about the Baron's mask . Why did he chose it and what's it made off, etc.

Is it some ancient relic made of iron chosen for some mystic symbolism? And/or a family heirloom? Is it some sort of super technologically advance piece of kit that lets him do all sorts of fancy stuff...

Why is it shaped the way it is? Anyone got any ideas as to what inspired it creator?

"the man in the iron mask", a prisoner in today`s climate, of people objecting to random
killings.

Its kind of like a sci fi version of a Teutonic Knight ..naturally its made out of Iron

[paul463]

Darth Vader like perhaps!? Seeing as all of this was out round about the same time as Star Wars etc.

[The Baron]

It's definitely got a sci-fi tech / mystical energy to it, the freebie from the comic had the phrase: "Share the Baron's hypnotic power... dominate your friends."

[Destro]

I think it's to show power and produce fear.

What would scare you more? The Baron wearing his iron mask and only being able to see his eyes or Osama Bin Laden wearing his robes?

[jamarmiller]

his entire suit is a deadly gas suit, for the life of me cant think of what there called

High Mat or something like that

in any case look at the yellow eco warrior dude from GI JOE and youll get what Im trying to say.

[The Baron]

HazMat? As in Hazardous Materials? Or are you on about the asbestos fireproof suits used in Bloodhound II?

its an idea stolen from ned kelly the famous outlaw.
im told cobra commander now uses it as a waste paper bin
it certainly wont be made of iron.too heavy.nor will it be made of a vinyl material like the figure!!!
