Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope - Darth Vader Replica Helmet

Darth Vader’s armour was designed to maintain and protect his charred body while exuding an air of intimidation and control. The mask when halfway around Vader’s head and assisted with breathing and protecting his lungs. The mask was crowned with a circular interface dotted with an array of square slots around a disc of silver. These two components were sealed and connected to assist with airflow from the backpack on the suit.

EFX are proud to announced their new Darth Vader Replica Helmet based on the concept art of legendary artist, Ralph McQuarrie. The master patterns for the helmet were cast from vintage moulds created off the screen-used helmet. It has the asymmetric, hand sculpted geometry and all of the surface nuances that many peel capture the true menacing essence of Darth Vader. The face mask also has the two-toned black and gunmetal paint scheme of the original helmet, thus making this helmet one of the most accurate replicas of this iconic helmet.
