Right, so. I've seen much and more about Retrospec sending out *weapons* through the post, but I think this might be a first. Whatever it is.

If anyone else out there has some idea of exactly what this is -- aside from the obvious "it's a helmet," thank you, already got that one figured out -- then I'd be glad to hear it, because I haven't got a clue.

Chloe Bouchard If you were the one to be sent it, you will no doubt know what it is eventually, but I have never seen its like.
Chloe Bouchard It reminds me of a few of the more ornate Italian or Japanese ones, meant to intimidate people.
Chloe Bouchard But there almost seem to be clockwork parts in it that do not fit medieval armor.
Chloe Bouchard Along the cheek, and I do not know why that would be there.
Chloe Bouchard Is it part of a set perhaps?

That's a rad helmet.
I know I'd be scared if I saw someone walking up to me in that.

!!!!!!!!!!! does it fit?? can i try it on?!

We've got Tatsuo Kihara on the app now. If you want to run the packaging or the helmet through the CSI lab? He's got an open offer to everybody.

You might bring it to one of the history professors at the university. Does it fit? I'd be willing to bet it does, and nearly perfectly.

I would assume more decorative than functional as a helmet. Meant to intimidate rather than protect.

it's a helmet
also lame

[ thanks, nisha. ]

It's a Judge's helmet.

I've seen one similar in my hallucinomemories. On a guy who called himself a Judge.

Ilia T Oh sure. I get a lousy coin and other people get badass helmets.

that... does look heavy though. next time someone pisses you off, put that on and headbutt them

Goro Majima Real Talk
Goro Majima Thats some last fantasy level armor
Goro Majima Maybe you were a hardcore cosplayer in your past life

A little ostentatious, don't you think?

[To be fair, Ardyn came here with Actual Questions and not just to be an ass, but. He has to at least begin with a wry comment, because that's just who he is.]

That's actually pretty neat. Better than drastically altered body parts, anyway.

That looks like amazing craftsmanship.
