I saw it at Wondercon. And it is GOOD. Seriously. I thought it was the fiberglass one. Only about 300 bucks and you can see it on their site. I handled it too.

Great great deal.

It does look good and will be excellent for those who actually use their costumes.

If I can raise the funds I may have to get one on these, my first ANH helmet

No doubt if you troop as the Dark Lord this would be good choice. For display...ehhh. The dome is 2 parts. The tubes are separate parts. They intersect at the cheek awkwardly and are flat and wide forward of the cheek. The nose droop at the tip looks too square; I believe it should flare a bit more. Details, details which make it distinguishable from the eFx Limited/Legend though it was derived from the same. After we see some actual production copies and confirm it's 100% scale with respect to the Limited/Legend then I would consider getting one.

You have a good eye Banta, I didn't notice those details

BTW your tusks are on their way

Interesting. How do you mean that the dome is two parts? Constructed of two parts? I held the dome and it just seemed like a single piece Vader dome. The teeth are also squared off nicely and things are sharp/ crisp. It is an idealized ANH is all.

But just for my fyi, how is the dome two parts and how are the tubes separate? Granted, I did not examine uber-closely but held the two pieces separately and then put them together to observe how the magnet mechanism worked - and it works great.

As light as the Don Post C/A to hold.

I've seen the pics. Great to hear from someone that has seen it in person! I'm going to get one as a trooping/costume helmet for sure.

And here's where Gino discusses the two-part dome and the tubes being separate pieces http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?p=3901769

Gonna move this thread to the Vader licensed section tomorrow as this is not a sales thread.

Oh such a good thread. Gino being typical Gino. ...thanks to him, I'll never buy a product directly from EFX.

Hmm. What is the issue regarding those tubes being separately attached or the dome being constructed in two halves? Isn't that just assembly?

This will be a nice helmet for trooping. But not sure if that good for display.

Cause it looks awefull ?

Clearly you don't understand how injection molding works.

Perhaps, but what has that to do with the man's aesthetic sensibilities?
