STAR WARS™ Darth Vader Official Primalux Costume
Champion the Dark Side with the STAR WARS™ Darth Vader Official Primalux Costume. Based on Vader’s iconic armor from STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE™, this complete costume features a suit and tunic, shoulder, waist, and shin armor, cape with chain, gloves, belt, chest box, and helmet. The belt and chest...

I am curious about the price and what the final costume will actually look like. Based on the available photos it does appear to be a step-up from the Rubies Supreme Vader costume but we won’t know until the actual costume is released.
I feel weird about it because it does look like a decent Vader. Not super-screen-accurate, but at least it looks like Darth Vader. In the past to get a high quality and/or accurate Darth Vader kit you had to put in the work, time, and effort but now with this anyone can just buy a good quality and reasonably accurate Vader costume with no effort. I don’t like Gate-Keeping so I’m not against it I’m just not looking forward to 25-40 Darth Vaders walking around you next local sci-fi convention. A good Darth Vader costume used to be special, I’m afraid something like this will make it ordinary.

It'd be perfect if they sold parts individually

The full costume is on display at SDCC. Hopefully someone gets good photos to help with the inevitable black series repaints.
Dang it!!! Eerrrr I’m gonna make a few posts asking for some help
That helmet looks very photogrammetry compliant. Maybe someone will walk out of SDCC with a scan of it.
Yesssaaa!!!

Not Black Series but…
This TROS Kylo Ren helmet is going to be offered at the upcoming D23 convention. No work about it being offered in the parks or online in the future.

As far as I understand, this may only be offered to convention goers to the upcoming D23. So if you are not physically there, you may be out of luck.
thats idiotic... worse than the disney-park exclusive stuff (and that was already behind travel limits and europe won#t get a galaxy's edge in paris at all)

Saw updated info saying the Kylo helmet goes online at the Disney Store August 12th. It is part of a line called the “Galactic Archive Series.”

If true, then it might be only sold to those with D23 Gold Membership. I believe that is the case with many of the other D23 items listed to go on sale on 12 August.
