The top 10 custom LEGO minifigure gear picks, ranked
This ranking comes straight from our store: it is the gear our customers bought the most over the last 12 months, counting only items that are in stock right now. Helmets and armor take the top three spots.
- Classic Bounty Hunter Helmet: the number one seller, a sci fi tracker helmet that comes in a huge range of colors so you can build a whole guild of hunters.
- Mark 5 Armor Sets: sci fi armor that snaps onto a figure for space marines and armored troopers, with a removable visor on top.
- Marine Helmet: a sci fi armored helmet that turns any figure into a space marine, in a wide range of colors.
- Helmet Accessories: add on pieces for BrickTactical P1 and P2 helmets in 15 colors, so you can mark squad leaders or give every trooper a unique look.
- Classic AR Rifle: our best selling rifle, a timeless pick for modern military, police, special forces and space marine builds.
- DC15s Blaster Carbine (x10): ten compact sci fi blaster carbines in one pack, an affordable way to outfit a full squad.
- BT35 Blaster Pistol: a compact sci fi sidearm for space troopers, bounty hunters and smugglers.
- Tactical Headset: a comms headset that gives soldiers, pilots and SWAT teams a modern operator look.
- BT35 Blaster Carbine: a compact sci fi blaster carbine that clips right into a standard minifigure hand.
- BT17 Pistol: a sidearm for police, SWAT, modern military and action movie builds, in black or gunmetal.
Best custom LEGO guns for minifigures
If you only buy one rifle, make it the Classic AR Rifle. It clips right into a standard minifigure hand and fits almost any modern build. For special forces and SWAT teams, the M4 Rifle w/60 Round Mag adds an extended magazine to a classic carbine, and in the video I point it out as one that turned out great. The Scoped MK18 Rifle is a compact carbine with a mounted scope for short and medium range, and the AK47 Rifle covers military, insurgent, Cold War and modern combat builds.
Every figure needs a sidearm too. The BT17 Pistol is one of our top ten sellers, the BT9 Pistol is a reliable backup weapon in black, silver and gunmetal, and the M1911 Pistol is a classic for World War 1, World War 2 and modern scenes.

Best custom LEGO minifigure helmets
Helmets are the biggest upgrade you can give a figure, and they are some of our top sellers. In the video I show off the modern military lineup: the boonie hat, the cap, the ballistic helmet, the advanced combat helmet and the fast helmet. The Military Helmet is our fast helmet and the Advanced Combat Helmet is the ballistic helmet with a night vision mount, and both are night vision compatible. The Ballistic Helmet is a generic modern military helmet, the Military Cap gives officers and soldiers a classic field look, and the Boonie Hat is made for jungle patrols, snipers and recon teams. Each of those five comes in 20 color options. For sci fi squads, the Marine Helmet is the pick.

Best tactical accessories and vests
Accessories are what make a figure look kitted out. The Tactical Headset fits standard minifigure heads in six colors. A Radio Backpack turns any soldier into the squad radio operator, and the Heavy Backpack loads up a figure for long missions. Every BrickTactical vest fits on a standard minifigure torso. The Blank Tactical Vest and the AR Pouch Tactical Vest both use an open chest style, so they go over the torso without hiding the printing underneath.

Best sci fi gear for custom LEGO armies
Sci fi gear holds four of our top five spots. The Classic Bounty Hunter Helmet comes in 26 color options, and the Mark 5 Armor Sets let you build full squads of armored troopers in the colors you want. To arm a big army without buying blasters one at a time, the DC15s Blaster Carbine (x10) gives you ten carbines in a pack and the Blaster Pack gives you 20 black blasters. For heroes and hunters, the BT35 Blaster Pistol and BT35 Blaster Carbine are compact sci fi blasters that clip right into a minifigure hand.

Best custom LEGO saber hilts
Our saber hilts are injection molded from ABS plastic and have a standard bar hole in the end, so you can add the blade of your choice. The Sky Hilt and the Rev Hilt both come in black or gunmetal, and the Round Spike Hilt is a great pick for duelists, knights and villains. Blades are not included with the hilts, so grab a few Hilt Blades and mix and match colors to give every hilt in your collection its own look.
