Sorry I don't, I didn't pick it up so can't speak to the weight, feel, or materials. Visually it looked more like painted resin, but I could be wrong.

For what they're asking for, that melted Darth Vader helmet better do my household chores and chauffeur me around.
No, I spoke to the CEO today at PropShop and he gave me the prices to disclose here. It's a specialty item and so expensive that it's probably something you could negotiate and work out with them. They are only building ten of each. But at almost a million dollars, I'm not sure who has that type of money laying around for a prop replica to sit in your man cave and collect dust after the novelty runs out. Even if you had 10 million in the bank, would you want to give up 1/10 of your net worth for a Star Wars prop. I would think only the Bill Gates of the world could afford and justify the expense.

I'm surprised the expected recasts have not hit eBay yet.
(BTW, no, I don't buy recasts. I'm just surprised because you know they're coming).

Sweet. I'll take three. One for me, one for my 4 yo, and one for my 2 yo. ...might even get one for my nephew.
I was at the same place as third3ye and held the lightsaber. It didn't feel like metal, but it has a nice weight!
:$ I put on the helmet, but only after they said we could. A very thin padding lines the inside of the helmet. It was fun wearing the helmet, but I have a big cranium, so it wasn't very comfortable.

Post #412 from this thread, video at the bottom of that article. Makes it pretty clear that a large portion of the Kylo and Rey sabers are metal.
Worth a watch if you missed it. Boy, has the marketing for these been subpar...

For prices like these you could buy big important screen used props, and most likely that is what people who have this kind of money do

I was really worried that the little girl might just pick up the helmet and smash it into pieces
I felt sorry for the man after watching that video. Loading that kind of cash for such a turd.:facepalm
