Good Vader helmet for kids?

[swingking03]

I will be outfitting my 6 yo son as Vader for Halloween this year. Due to time constraints between making this and his sisters trooper outfit, I was hoping to buy a decent helmet rather than pep. Since the helmet is iconic, I'd like something that is attractive but doesn't need to movie top of line or 100% accurate. I have considered the Black Series helmet, but am afraid it will be too big. Anyone have kids that can comment?

Also, if anyone has advice (templates, tips, etc.) for any of the other pieces, my ears are open.

There's always this...

It's long out of production but they're plentiful and relatively cheap in the after market....

Thanks for the Don Post suggestion. I've never seen those before. Any idea if it will look ridiculously large on a kid?

Yep... what he said...

The benefit to this version is that it an actual full two-piece face mask and dome... and the chest piece is electronic and plays sound fx and phrases...

Jeez, for that price and time savings, I could make some upgrades. It looks very Rebels-esque, which is kinda neat.

That particular helmet is still being produced by Rubies for around $30.

How serious does the helmet need to be?
