Hi arkuo14,

there are a few helmets in the hobby fan figure collection wich have some mounts on it for nightvision goggles but there are no visions with the figures. I can´t understand why because tuh mounts on the helmets are perfect.. Also in the old cool Kirin figure set are one figure with complete nightvision equipment wich are sepperate from the head. They are not actuall in date but will work for somalia or later operations. It´s not easy to get the kit because it´s out of production. Perhaps and with a good day on your side you will get one by ebay.
Here are the sets where the helmets are with mounts on it for the googles.
Hobby-fan:
Digital Type US Equipment HF 048 - with wepons and equipment
US Marines, Iraq (2 Fig. & Access.) HF 556 - the soldier with the saw (standing) has the mounts on the helmet.
US Marines, Iraq (2 Fig. & Access.) HF 557 - I think both of them have them.
US Tank Crew,Iraq,(3 Fig. & Access.) HF 563 - the soldier in front have some tape or cover on his wind and dust googles to protect the glases from reflecting the sun.

Think-One-Eighty or now twix box modern (the new site/company is not in service till now but i think you can still order from the old think-one-eighty site (www.think-one-eighty.com) The new site is still under construction. The figures for oif are great in detail and there is a U.S. Navy Seal figure with special equipment and new helmet and with mount an vision optics on it like the guy´s on your third photo.

I hope i could help you a little bit. For questions feel free to ask.
Good luck with your project.

greetings

Stefan from Berlin
