eFX A New Hope Darth Vader Helmet

[dcarty]

Thanks for sharing the pics! If they can just get that dome fixed they've got a winner.

 

[StarWars Collector]

Yep thanks! :thumbsup Great pics.

Looks like an Empire/Jedi mounting system.

@ James Kenobi 1138:

Thank you for the pictures!

Hope that this is the display base they use for the helmet! All I have to do is order a acrylic display case and than I have to place it well in my collection.

:thumbsup

 

[Trap Joe]

thank you for these shots.
Interesting to see the inside and the mounting system as well

 

[Dioxide]

thanks for sharing :thumbsup

Did you had the chance to see the Dome unmounted as well ?
... if so, i would assume they didn't let you take a picture of that - isn't it ?

 

[James Kenobi 1138]

We could have taken the dome off but since the helmet was on loan I didn't want to damage it. It looked like, being just a rushed prototype, that the mounting rings were attached with high-strength hot glue or a clear silicone. I was pretty terrified just taking it off the stand and turning it sideways.

 

[Qui-Gonzalez]

If that is the Gino prototype, then that mounting mechanism is not final, as I recall him stating.

 

[thegreatgalling]

That was really nice of you to do for us JK, I WANT ONE!

Excellent! Now bring on the pre-orders. And I hope they will make a smaller display stand, similar to the Stormtrooper one.

Thanks for confirming on my curiosity - i appreciate it !

That was in my mind as well and as JK stated above, you're on the right statement

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Very nice pictures. Thanks. :thumbsup

Sweet!

Congrats Vader fans, it looks to be an accurate helmet with accurate paintjob for a reassonable price! I wish I had the money, I would buy the Legendary one!

 

[James Kenobi 1138]

Is there a price for the regular edition ? I see the $999 for the super accurate one but not the regular.

 

[KaanE]

If a 350$ deposit is need for the 999$ version, for 300$ deposit around 850$ I think...

I'm kidding abouth the maths, but I don't think it could be a lot more $ than that.

 

[GINO]

Here are some additional shots of the two versions.
I couldn't be more pleased with how they turned out.
A big thanks to eFX for bringing a replica of this caliber to the fans!
BTW, if your collection does not focus on replica helmets, you might want to consider making an exception in this case.


LEGEND EDITION

LIMITED EDITION

Gino, could you please not say that till after I buy my helmets?:lol J/K G. beautiful work can't wait for this piece.

 

[Bigturc]

How much time do you guys think it's gonna take for these to fly off at pre-order? We should open a poll! I've been waiting for a good Vader for years .. then I got the ROTS which I never liked anyway! This IS gonna be it .. and for once, I don't have to paint it!

 

[Onigiri]

This is killing me...I got rear ended a couple of weeks ago (car totaled) and all my expenses are tied up right now until the insurance settles There should be a 'jumping off the building' emoticon....

 

[thegreatgalling]

I dunno. I was WRONG about the PKE meters. Here is to hoping there is one for everyone who wants one here for a little while.
