Hi JKNO i got a question if you dont mind. Is this beauty a two pieaces helmet like the anovis will be? Or just a one pieace?

I would like to know how the face part looks without the dome part

Dome comes off. Believe there are magnets.

Did you got also some pics maybe from the padding?

Ok. Did you recommend this prop? Or its better to wait for anovos option? Whats your opinion

 

[MasterSafara]

Are all the Vader helmets not the same in the original trilogy?

No, they aren't the same. But get ready for a much lengthier answer

 

[Germtop]

The return edge of the dome is correct. That is how the real helmet was.
The only that didn't have it in 1:1 was the Sideshow Vader bust, and is not accurate.

Thanks for the explanation. Makes me feel better about it.

 

[clutch]

Do you want something to display or something to play in? I would pick EFX over Anovos any day but I'm an accuracy guy.

Short answer to the are all three the same - they are but in ESB, the chin vent was cut larger so he could see through it, the tusks are different, the dome lost the widow's peak, and the lenses were amber instead of red tint.

I'd be interested to see images of the differences from each film.

If you are looking for a nice, & relatively inexpensive, ANH Vader helmet, I definitely would say go for this one. Throw it on a stand, it's a thing of beauty. As far as wearing? It's light weight, but that's about all the nice I can say about it. I far more prefer putting my fiberglass Limited on, it's just way more comfortable. I've only seen the ANOVOS helmet at Disneyland. I have yet to receive mine. It's made of fiberglass, & is a mix of ESB & ROTJ, but I think it favors the Empire helmet a bit more - dome on. But I do like the ESB version better than the other 3 (ANH, ROTJ, ROTS) helmets.

Thanks, i stand on the fence. I need a Vader helmet so bad for my collection. The Legend one from EFX was way to price for me. Know that you told me some good info, i think i go with this edition About Anovos i just hear people saying they need to long to bring there products on the market. And also some not good reviews. Mainly about the FO Stormtrooper helmet

I looking for mainly to display

So yeah EFX should be the choosen one then! Thanks for the help

They are all the same and look like a Rubies helmet. Or at least that is what klwn considers a good Vader helmet

I have no idea what you are talking about.

 

[clutch]

Still waiting on EFX to ship my fully paid for helmet.

 

[Germtop]

Me too. I inquired about it and they wrote back saying they were expecting them back from San Diego by the end of this week.

 

[clutch]

Ah, didn't think about them having to be shipped back. The 'C-scar' has me worried now. It would suck to be an 'early-adopter', paying roughly $30 more to have a crap paint job that will be fixed in later runs.
