Man you guys have got some really great stuff there. The only life sized figure I've got is my Jawa. And I guess its my crappy camera but the close up shows the natural color of his robe better than the full view.

Of course, the grand question is, what is the cost of a full trooper/vader/3P0 costume, and how long did it take to make?

Very nice!
Where did the mask/helmet and armor parts come from, if you don't mind saying?

Wow! :eek
Very nice Vader costume, Jedi Wars! :thumbsup I especially like how the 'fit' of the costume seems to better emulate Dave Prowse's build, compared to a lot of folks who put an excellent Vader costume onto a stock shop mannequin, and the whole illusion is shattered.
The bodysuit looks filled out in the torso area - I'm guessing you've padded the mannequin a lil' bit?
But.... if you want the costume to really look like the screenused original, then you need to wear it for a couple of nice long 'troops'. Your costume looks too pristine! LOL
... like Vader's just got his outfit back from the dry-cleaners! :lol
eBay.... you seek eBay....
Do a search for " DARTH VADER PAPER GICLEE Jerry Vanderstelt" and 150 bucks later, you too can have a nice print like Jedi Wars'.
Darn it, I should be on comission :lol

Yes you could wear the costume if you were big enough. I'm only 5'8" so I couldn't fit into it and I would look ridiculous.
Actually the buttons are not real, they are only painted on.

I got it on Acme Archives Direct. It is the canvas version of Jerry Vanderselt's "Ruminations". It cost about $350 without the frame.
He also sells them on Ebay.

Well I actually had a friend of mine put most of the costume together (he is a Star Wars fanatic). He even did the custom mannequin for me. I'm not sure where he got all the parts and stuff but I think he makes some of them.
I mostly put it together and I'm not even sure if I got it 100% right. I had trouble getting the cod piece and belt to stay up and the helmet to sit right. I'm no Star Wars costume expert.
