Kabuto

Kabuto or Samurai Helmet 

This is Kabuto is a theatrical mock-up made of lightweight plastic-like materials.

kabuto was made by combining dozens of thin iron plates around a central dome, usually iron but sometimes moulded and lacquered paper

Like medieval helmets they were often decorated with a crest, this one is themed around a rabbit.

Kabuto 1st appeared in the 10th Century

Shark Hat

A novelty hat where the shark appears to bite your head 

This hat is pretty poor, I think the concept is good, but the execution is poor.

The main problem is the hat has no stiffness so the shark's body falls flat, I managed to balance and fluff it a bit so it stood up for these photos, but if I moved my head too quickly it just callapsed again

The rest is just that horrible foam-covered fabric that they make lots of novelty hats from, a case you get what you pay for and you probably don't pay much five pounds would be expensive.
