He's talking about the toys, Giz.
I'll point out what Hasbro has been saying for over a year -- the standard 3 3/4" action figure line has been simplified for play value -- fewer points of articulation, lower detailing, suitable for taking out of the package and making them fight each other. The Black Series -- all scales -- are the ones getting all the detail and articulation. So that means the basic pilot figures will have the helmets molded as part of the figure, rather than separate, more often than not, and without a separate piece of clear plastic for the visor. If they do a Black Series version of the character, bet you he'll have a separate helmet with transparent visor.
