Episode Prop Question: Ranger Helmet

[caleb86]

Hey guys,
I work at The Prop Store of London. We buy and sell great props from films and television shows.
We have a Ranger helmet here from Babylon 5 and can't figure out which episode it was featured in.

If anyone knows it would be a great help.

Thanks,
Caleb

It’s not a Ranger helmet. They didn’t wear any . . . . . wore hoods sometimes.

The red thing was part of the armour worn by the attacking troops of an unknown (at least unnamed race) that was boarding the station. Season 5 episode “ A View from the Gallery”. It's the only episode the race appaeared in.

(I’ve really being watching too much of that show ; )

Don't wory, Triple, I recognized it right off having only seen that ep once.

Ditto!

Well actually a couple of times but it is pretty unique.

A fellow of infinite jest......

A helmet of the same sort showed up on Ebay a while back. I don't remember what it sold for.

I wonder if the alien race had 10 eyes.

Dunno... but i think they had rather silly heads judging by that helmet... and very kitsch Flash Gordonesque dress sense!

They were hot heads. Those are ventilation slits...

Thanks for the help, guys. We'll be putting some of these props up on our website soon.

Can you help me with this one?

That's n'grath's (no capital letters) head. n'grath was a character resembling a praying mantis in a few first season episodes, a crime boss in DownBelow. The first episode he was seen in was in 'Soul Hunter'.

That one's a twofer, actually. It was also used on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" in "Teacher's Pet" -- which is why the whole construct is now in pieces.

 

[caleb86]

We have one with blues eyes, too. Is that a different character?

 

[Jan]

I looked at the 'Soul Hunter' episode and n'grath looked to have bluish green eyes rather than red. I don't have the buffy episodes to check that.

Jan

 

[caleb86]

Yeah. I found n'garth, who's blue. And I watched the episode of Buffy, and that mantis has gold eyes (we have that head too). I don't know what the red one could be from.

Thanks for your help.

In the first Season of B5, they played with the lighting quite a bit, so perhaps it's possible they tried both Red and Blue to get the color and lighting where they wanted it? I like to view the darker lighting at the beginning of the series as part of the story telling, you're in the dark at the beginning of the Series, and as the series progresses you gain more knowledge and start stepping into the light

I was under the impression that n'grath was on display at the Planet Hollywood in LA. Did they move him? Sell off their old stuff?

 

[caleb86]

Here's another one. The inside of this suit says Triad/Beserkeron. It may not even be from Babylon 5. Any ideas?

Thanks again,

Looks to me like the Ikaaran costume that was reused for the Zarg (shudder).
