Hasbro Announces Wearable ‘The Acolyte’ Villain “The Stranger” Helmet
Fans of The Acolyte still reeling from this week’s action packed episode will be happy to hear it will soon be possible to wear the helmet of the red-bladed man known officially as “The Stranger” for themselves (though most fans will know him by another name).
Hasbro have released a Black Series version of The Stranger helmet, which tells anyone familiar with their Black Series line a lot about the level of quality we’re dealing with.
Collider announced that the Stranger Electronic Helmet will be available for pre-order on June 27, though it won’t be released until next year (careful when going through to the website, as spoilers abound there), is highly detailed and is sufficiently padded to be a comfortable wear while fitting heads of various different sizes. It also comes with a collector’s display mode.
The helmet looks a lot more brown than expected, considering the one in the show seems to be completely black, but it has at least painstakingly recreated the kintsugi-style scarring present on the helmet in the show.
It will cost $99.99 and will be released sometime in summer 2025, which is a long wait considering it’s up for pre-order tomorrow. We’ll be able to see The Stranger’s helmet again in the next three episodes of The Acolyte.
