Not too long ago, Medicom Toy unveiled a range of [Daft Punk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-x-pleasures-dw5600pdp1) models in bright white and gold ensembles, which came fashioned with the duo's iconic helmets as well.

For its latest Daft Punk models however, the [Japanese collectible company](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-x-berbrick) adorned the pair in sleek black leather jackets. Again, the two come with their space-like helmets, however this time they're colored with more neutral tones instead. Both helmets can be illuminated, as they have LED lights integrated into them.

The silver and black helmet on one of the Daft Punk models is presented with matching metallic gloves, while the gold and black version is done so similarly. In addition to their leather jackets, the collectibles are shown with leather pants, a belt and black boots.
