eFX Darth Vader A NEW HOPE Helmet!

[Unknown Hero]

Very tempted in picking this one up. Does Amazon have the best pricing?

I was about to post this same question as I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on one.

Toynk.com has it for $259.99 with free shipping. I think they're also an option through Amazon

Thanks for the heads-up, smiles_hope!

Went to Toynk.com, opened an account and put the helmet in my cart but got distracted at home and never checked out. A little while later, I received an email from Toynk saying, "Psst... you left something in your cart" and it included a 10% discount to use on it. So it came out even cheaper and with free shipping!

If you think this looks great, then go for the Anovos.

I'm sure Anovos are marketing their Vader as a non movie helmet, nowhere on the Anovos site states it's ESB/ROTJ. They are selling a generic look Vader without any ties to a specific film.

Anovos looks far better in real life photos than in those prototype pictures. Several on the RPF forum have it in hand. And it's two piece with greeblies letting you do a reveal display.

So my helmet came today and opened it up and it's a beast! You don't really get a sense of scale until you see it in person. But I'm just wowed by the detail and the finish on this, totally worth getting in my book. It's nice to have a definitive Vader helmet in my collection. Would the Legend and SE been even better? Probably, but this satisfies me completely. Here are a few pics on my office desk and highlighting some of the details. I'll take more pictures tonight when I put it in my lit Besta.

Yeah it's on the list. Wanted to see how high the inside was so I got the right size. I don't see it being damaged by sitting that way for a few days right? It's not very heavy lol

very nice! would someone recommend a helmet stand for both EFX vader and stormtrooper helmet? i would prefer it to be in a helmet stand. Thanks!

Most people have been using paper towel holders you get at Wal-mart or Target.

Someone on the forum mentioned he used the wooden Hat Stand (large) with Velour Top by Tripar which is sold on Amazon for $20.

That looks great in that cabinet the lighting really sets it off. Where did you get the saber from?

Bed Bath & Beyond usually has nice paper towel holders.

Thank you! Yes I'm happy with how the cabinet came out and glad I chose the Walnut Light Gray color. And funny story that lightsaber is one of the Hasbro Bladebuilder sabers from Walmart lol. Got it for 9 bucks! Plan on repainting it to mimic a polished metal and black like the real one. Because from what I saw it's fairly accurate minus some features changed (i.e bottom has cutout for insert onto another blade. Works for me though only going to be looking at it through glass and from most angles looks legit haha. Here is the link for this lovely toy lol:
