I thought I'd snap a few pics from the foldout brochure that came with the Darth Vader standard helmet I bought in 1980:





Fact Check:

"With proper care this mask will last decades"
- TRUE 3.5 decades and counting!

"Don Post studios is proud to bring you this exact replica of Darth Vader's own mask"
- Ehhh, not so much

Still, as the first item in my Star Wars collection, I could never part with it!

Wow, that is sweet!! I've never seen that particular brochure before, thanks for sharing it

I hear you, I wouldn't trade my DP Standard for anything either. I coveted that mask for years before I was able to get one myself in 1982. How many years I believed it was the "exact replica" they claimed lol. I have a Don Post catalog that I mailed away for back in 1983.

Good old innocent times

That's cool. It's nice to see the original adds.
