Darth Vader Helmet Replica

Product Description

Darth Vader Helmet Replica (1:1 scale)
- The original iconic Darth Vader helmet, as seen in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, was sculpted by Brian Muir based on the concept sketches by illustrator Ralph Mc Quarrie. Even though there were 3 known castings made from the mould made from Muir"s sculpt, only 1 helmet was used in the entire filming of A New Hope. Our master pattern was cast from vintage moulds in the Lucasfilm archives which are believed to have been made by none other than Rick Baker from the screen used Vader helmet back in 1977. What makes this a very special product is that the master pattern is NOT made from a digital scan, it is an actual, original casting. This means that this replica helmet will have direct lineage to the original & be as true to the actual filming prop as you can possibly get! This helmet has the asymmetric geometry that many feel capture the true evil essence of Darth Vader. The face mask will have the screen accurate two-toned black & gunmetal sprayed paint scheme. The dents & scratches that were in the original mould have been filled in or removed, giving the helmet a more pristine appearance but still remaining faithful to the original filming prop.
