Re: The Definitive Darth Vader Timeline. Screen/Tour/Promo/Museum Displays: ANH/ESB/
I read the following in a Interview with Joe::
It was made in 1976 by him for a Helloween party at ILM. It was done in Styrol over an Fibreglass-body that was useless fo other things. The helmet was based upon a german military toy helmet assembled with different model parts.
The helmet only survived, as during a house move in April 1978, the rest of the costume was damaged trough a heavy box. The Helmet went to bin after a few years of storing, 'cause it falls apart into pieces and Joe doesn't intend to save it for his waste destiny.
I've always wondered about the story behind this Vader... origin and current whereabouts.
