Color:Yellow / Red / Green Most people call these Hawaiian warrior helmets but they are really called Makaki'i or Makini. The full size versions were worn by some priests during various ceremonies and also by ocean canoe paddlers. Long ago during a visit by Captain James Cook to Kealekekua Bay on the Big Island of Hawaii, the ship's artist John Weber saw and sketched men paddling canoes wearing gourd masks and feathers. These men were members of a warrior society called makini and were in trusted with the protection of their high chief. Today miniature warrior helmets can be found on car rear view mirrors and over home doorways not only as decorations but a symbol of safety and protection.

Glue melts in heat
At first this is a very nice helmet to have, I loved it and I loved how it added a touch of personal flair to my car.But now, barely two months later, I got into my car to find the glue melted off the helmet, and it’s now stuck in my car, and I’m so disappointed. Now I can’t have this in my car, and it was a waste of money.

Not good for heat and sunlight.
Loved everything about it except during the warm weather. The glue melts and drops in your car and you can't get it off. The color of the feathers fade out to the original colors. So instead of the reggae/rasta colors I have brown feathers.

great buy
had a blue one that lasted 5 yrs on my rear view mirror in the sun. hope this one does too. very cute. it's a bit poofy with wide spread feathers as opposed to the mohawk look but still happy with it.

Beautiful!!!
I’m a big time traveler, I like to be on the road. I purchased my warrior and put him on my rearview mirror; I named him Gypsy since he’ll always be on the road with me. Minor issue, if he gets too hot, he leaks glue from the inside of the head where the feathers have been glued. Aside from that, he’s beautiful!
