Hi Jacob here,
Mine is Episode IV:
John Boero helmet
Ghost Host armor
Ghost Host chestbox
Galaxy Trading belt, with self made IV type boxes
Galaxy Trading vinyl suit
Galaxy Trading robe
Galaxy Trading cape wool
Dark Shadow cod
Galaxy Trading shins self modified
Master Replicas FX saber
Master Replicas IV saber
Joe Keretzmann gloves

No photographs yet as I am still working on the belt boxes. I am doing a little something different with mine, what I quaintly call "Battle Hardened". I was inspired by some pre-production shots of someone else in the outfit besides David Prowse and the outfit had paint chips and a worn look to it. Similiar to Boba Fett, but not so extreme. I liked it much better, it invoked a look of a field commander I envisioned Vader being. Not a spit shined and polished outfit like you see in The Empire Strikes Back.

Necro Vader! I love it.


Mine is just the Rubies costume with a CKing helmet. Not the most SA but it does the trick well enough.

 

[BrundelFly]

I bought one of the X T R E M E Vaders on EBAY.

I think Bruce Hansing did the hard stuff, and the soft stuff was David P.
He obviously no longer makes em....and we all know what he does now!
Great Stuff!

Doesnt look as shiny in person as it does in this photo.

Thats a nice Vader.
It really matters who or what fills the suit.
It can make or break the look.

Not sure which company sponsored that display but for crying out loud the cardback has a ROTJ logo at the top with a photo of Vader from ANH. :behave :facepalm

Based off the original art no? They just used an old shot of Vader back then so why change the packet.
