01Desk scale
Five inches tall and sized to sit on a desk, a shelf edge, or a monitor stand without asking for room. The paint and decals are the official ones, so the club reads correctly at this size, which is what separates a Mini from a novelty.

Spot it: It fits in one hand. The mask is plastic rather than steel, and the chin strap is a scaled-down four-point, not a display loop.
02Built like the big one
The shell is plastic and so is the mask, but inside there is foam padding and a four-point chin strap. It is a scaled helmet rather than a hollow shape, which is why it has the weight in the hand that it does.
03Collected in sets
This is the tier people buy by the division. A whole conference on one shelf, or every team a player wore. Mini is where a collection stops being one helmet and becomes a wall.
04Mini visors
Minis take a Mini visor, cut for the smaller shell, and a full-size visor will not fit one. Minis take no clips. The parts are on the accessories page under their own heading.

Every helmet we sell is a collector display piece. None of them is protective equipment and none should be worn for play at any level.
