eFX Darth Vader A NEW HOPE Helmet!

[anakin1138]

i don't own the SST Vader bust, but think the Shaw likeness is quite good... i see it as Vader in his prime... idealized i suppose.

i can't imagine anyone wanting the bust to have reflected the dying old man...

Yes The Sideshow Bust is still amazing... I understand people now have an accurate helmet from A New Hope and I'm thinking to buy it too even if I own this AMAZING Darth Vader Collectible! Please STOP Saying bullsith about the Vader 1:1 Bust which is Awesome!!!

This is Seb Shaw or Darth Vader Revealed!

Now stop complaining about the Vader 1:1 Sideshow bust!

 

[Darth Waller]

I should be getting my Vader bust this month.

And I also plan on getting an eFX helmet. I'm so glad to be able to see them at CV so I can decide which version I want.

The helmet is horrendous. This is what it's supposed to look like (since I know you don't actually know):

 

[IrishJedi]

Hey Irish, at the SW display at the Huntsville Space and Rocket Center, can you take pictures as long as you don't use a flash?

Yes, you can. And I actually used a flash when taking reference pics of the Landspeeder for my 1:1.

You're building a 1:1 Landspeeder?

 

[IrishJedi]

You're building a 1:1 Landspeeder?

Yup. My friend Wayne already finished his. It'll be at CV, actually. I'm not sure if I'll end up keeping mine, though. I don't know if I want that taking up half of my garage.

We're also building a 1989 Batmobile.

1. Oh snap!

2. Double snap!

There will also be one of these in our Droid Builders room:

(And Yes, it drives!)

 

[Darth Waller]

ZOMG!

So how likely is it I'll want a 1:1 R2 after seeing them in person?

You assume too much joker as always, of course I know the helmet on the bust is not 100% accurate... I know Star Wars... at the same time you can't say the Vader bust is not a great bust! Anyway as I said I'm thinking of buying the accurate efx Gino helmet too! and by the way... the one who know less about Star Wars is you as this picture you put is the ESB Helmet! and I KNOW that for every episode the helmet changes! so next time just don't waste time replying!

Highly likely, I've wanted one since I saw them at Wonder-con a few years back, and how interactive they can be with the crowd. Thank the maker, I don't have room, or funds.

and by the way... the one who know less about Star Wars is you as this picture you put is the ESB Helmet!

Oh, snap!

R2 calculates at least a 99.9999% chance of this.

My daughter would love one, but my wife, not so much.

If it was between the Sideshow 1:1 Bust and one of these, I'd drop the bust in a milisecond. Not even close.

It's both for me, the bust is a different animal; I didn't buy it to be the most accurate representation, I wanted the unmasked.

The helmet will be displayed as a prop - and that of the highest quality!

[furystorm]

This should be a month to remember. CV, then hopefully the McVader shipping later this month. Not sure if I can swing another high end eFX piece so soon. I would need the customary two year wait, which apparently will not be afforded with this ANH helmet.

If you want to sell McVader, please ask me first.

 

[furystorm]

Can you imagine a full McQuarrie Darth Vader costume with this helmet as the frosting on the cake? Has one ever existed before? A fan made? I've not seen one.

I think I saw a photo one time from some Lucas party a long time ago that had a guy in a full concept costume.

As I will do, once I have the efx helmet I'll show the 1:1 bust with the Shaw head and the Accurate helmet by its side! Awesome!
