Samurai Vader Helmet

[Kylash]

Its never really been within my range to own a Vader helmet, but this is just too cool not to show, someone has to do this.

:eek

I'm not a Vader fan, but if they made that life-size, I'm afraid I'd have to have it. :eek

this link (their actual site here in Japan) has a better shot of the mask....Please keep in mind this is not full size...) perhaps 1/4 size.....the full suit would look amazing....If I get the chance I will try to visit their store for some better pictures :angel

What's up with that address? http:/#$%.oku.co.jp/starwars.html


$2700 isn't too bad of a price for a full set of armor. If I had the money and the room I'd concider it.

 

[Soundwave]

That is seriously cool and would make an awesome piece to own..

 

[Too Much Garlic]

According to the article it was sculpted in 1:1 scale, then scanned and scaled down and then machined in some way.

 

[Benkenove]

$2700 for a 1/4 sized figure ??? Insane ... too much for my blood (really great), but too much, if it was life-size, the it could be great , but too much for an scaled one

 

[Sumatra]

I was thinking that was $2700 for 1:1. No way I'd pay that for a 1:4 scale.

 

[HAL9000]

That is horrible.

It looks like he's taking a ****

:lol


yeah, lets have chewie as a NY cop and um Threepio as Lemmy.

WTF.

You know that's the traditional way to display a set of armor and Vader was based on elements of the samurai. I don't think Chewie was based off NYPD.

honestly, i like the drawing more than what the final product is.

 

[Phayze]

GASP.. Ain't to way I'm paying that kind of jack for 1/4 scale, but if I ever muster the nerve make samurai armor I now have some inspiration. :lol

Someone get working on a full sized suit asap:

I really like it :eek . Truly $2700 is expensive, but it does seem to be some real artwork. Depending on the amount produced, it doesn't seem that bad.

Good Find. I've built several replica sets, but I have never seen that site. That should get some people going.

I've just listed a real samurai armour part for sale in the Junkyard.

Not exactly a prop, but a very nice item. Over 100 years old to. Its called a hanbo, and is a cheek, chin, and neck protector made of iron and lacquered black.

Wow. that's cool.

I'd be happy with just the helmet and the sword.

Keep in mind everything in Japan is super expensive.
