Am I seeing things, or is this a Vader dome?
This was in the latest eFX newsletter. Could just be wishful thinking on my part.

Perhaps the dome for the McQuarrie Concept Vader?

Or a remake of the MR RotS Vader? .

Doesn't have the flange shape of the RotS. Don't know the McQuarrie piece well enough to comment on its shape. Seems very OT dome flange shaped to me.

If it was something they or MR had previously offered or shown off I don't think they would be this secretive about what it is.

I doubt it's the McQuarrie, since they already had a little blurb about it earlier in the newsletter.

Would be very interesting to see their take on an OT Vader.

Just got an updated efx newsletter and I think this reveals what they are showing up there:

"This is one of the most exciting products that we have ever announced! The long anticipated original Darth Vader Helmet from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope . What makes this product so exciting (other than the fact that it is DARTH VADER !) is the history, the mystery and the lore behind the original prop. With the help of the Lucasfilm archives, we discovered a truly lost treasure! We actually found, what we believe, are the original molds made by Rick Baker of one of the original Darth Vader helmets from the long lost original molds in 1977! Incredibly, Lucasfilm allowed us to make a casting from these molds for our master pattern. Be sure to check out our "In Development" section to read more behind the development and lineage of this replica, coming soon!"




My question is, if this is really true - how much are they going to alter it? Is LFL going to require them to make changes???
