Pretty much every retailer I've checked has them listed for Q2, which means that they should be showing up any time in the next 3 months. Don't know if the helmet is soft, but it is removeable, with a full noggin underneath(don't remember where I saw the photo, but I did see it). Simiophiles, be alert and vigilant!...PS
Okay, just did a little recon on the thread...this is where I saw the shot of the General sans helmet!(page 3).Getting psyched...
