Guys, if you've followed my work, it's not about molds or this or that but capturing the essence and character beyond just a generic resemblance of Vader.
The paint job of this project is an essential and integral part of the artistic process because I wanted a much higher degree of accuracy than Darth Ugly. Whereas Darth Ugly gave me a chance to optimize a dome and faceplate to create an artistic whole (which is why I asked bookface not to part them out), in this case, this is a higher end project where - in addition to the sculpt - planning out the paint job required considerable discussion and testing because I wanted to take my art to the next level. And thus, I've asked bookface to only sell these painted - the sculpt and the paint are one artistic vision.
Darth Ugly, on the other hand, is available from bookface as an unpainted kit.
Thanks for the explanation...I was wondering how this latest project fit against Darth Ugly.
Will the new helmet weight about the same as Darth Ugly?

Thanks, Niob!
All I can say is that this is a premium helmet, as opposed to Darth Ugly which is an entry level helmet. I'll defer to bookface to address pricing, as this is now his product and I'm not part of the financial picture.
My Darth Ugly is "entry level"??:cry.....but I love it.
