New Darth Vader Helmet
As seen on Underwire
Limited-edition Darth Vader helmets, based on vintage production illustrations made during development of Star Wars, show the Dark Lord of the Sith in all his menacing glory.
Digital sculptor Jay Kushwara “captured the true sinister essence of the Darth Vader that Ralph McQuarrie envisioned in his original sketch,” said Bryan Ono, president of eFX, the company producing the $900 collectible helmet, in a press release Thursday.
Only 250 of the three-piece Ralph McQuarrie Signature Edition Darth Vader Concept Helmets (pictured) will be made. Pre-orders from eFX will begin at 9 a.m. PST Monday, with a non-refundable deposit of $250 required at time of pre-order. The helmets are expected to ship in late May.
