Dec 3 2007Thor Helmet Is Plastic But Shoots Fire
What you see here is a replica Thor helmet ($550). It's made of plastic but has "copper flame tubes raised above the helmet so that there is no heat transfer from the tubes to the helmet." You hook that sucker up to a little propane tank tucked away in your pants and you're good to go. Use the adjustable valve to set flame height and burst action. Awesome. You can really tell this is a quality helmet. If quality is a function of the helmet's ability to burn your house down.
Several more pictures after the hammer.

"You hook that sucker up to a little propane tank tucked away in your pants and you're good to go."
When I saw a flame-spitting Thor helmet, I figured only an idiot would wear this thing.
When I heard about the PROPANE TANK IN YOUR PANTS, I knew I was right.

Cmon...why in christs name make it plastic...the whole thing should be bronze or Fing cast iron.

you make it plastic so it's lightweight and melts to your skull when hot enough. I say it's absolutely fabulous....

Now this is one piece of work.
Fire and plastic have always gone good together. Does it have a built in emergency sprikler system?
Good find!

I foresee a lot of angry parents who lose their house (or body parts) and sad/disappointed children who find that their fire-throwing helmet melted and pissed their parents off. Great holiday-gift idea...oh, wait! Give them all to the terrorists! but point the flame thrower down! Oh it's brilliant!!! And while you're at it, give one to bush with the same down-pointed flamethrower. Excellent use of one of those "worth nothing" devices.

Pass the marshmellows, please. Oh, and the mirror, too, so I don't get 'em stuck to my hair this time.
