Don't know if this is new or not. Was doing some Google Image assaults
and came across this.

The website says it is
Darth Vader at Belk Department Store in Westgate Mall in Spartanburg, circa 1981.

Anyone ever see Bob Anderson in the 80's when he toured in a badly put together Vader costume? He appeared in the small town I lived in at the time, at a local grocery store. I was pretty disappointed to walk in and see, #1, Darth Vader was shorter than me, #2 and the costume from best I remember, was not really black, and was made up of a sparkly material.

Kinda sounds like one of the tour suits. I hear they were pretty substandard.

If I remember correctly, my cousin had a photo taken with him. I'll drop him a line and see if he still has it.
