Since Shenpong used his detective Skills well the cat is out of the bag. From Strider on The Prop Den. A completed SL face plate. His photo I'm still waiting on the dang thing well over a week!

For people like me who don’t know the details. Can you explain more about this?

 

[Gerard2567]

Is this one of those casts derived from a Rick Baker mold or atleast a generation derivative?

Also, just so Halliwax knows what I'm talking about, RB is a person who molded the ANH Darth Vader helmet/armor to make touring suits, in which the molds subsequently (Or so as eFX stated) became the grand-father of the eFX Darth Vader helmets aswell.

Made me Wade through this for that?

This is huge for me! I was hoping to spread the excitement and suspense of waiting for it. Lol

Rick Baker was tasked to mold the original helmet to produce copies for touring. The SL and eFx are adapted from that mold as it still exists in the archives. The SL is a direct cast from it(well not the final castings for production) and the efx is a cleaned up mass produced version.

Congrats on the new lid, I'd love to have an SL but my pockets aren't deep enough.

It looks fantastic, show it off with pride !!

Wow!! That’s wicked!!

What a stunner! A huge congrats to ya.

Congrats on joining the SL club. The SL is far better in person than any photo could ever hope to translate. You’re going to love it. And the dome? The dome, to me, is the gem that sets the SL apart from all other ANH casts (licenses or fan made).

Please honor the buyers agreement. [emoji6]

What's the buyers agreement? Very curious as whether it's a personal agreement or a known agreement among DV collectors...

I haven't really done too much Vader research myself lol

 

[Halliwax]

How many of these were made?

 

[juajn7fernandez]

How many of these were made?

25 to 27. Its unclear, specially since Thomas (Sithlord) disappeared with a few buyer's money and didn't deliver the last 2 or 3 orders. From what I understand, I received the very last SL pulled by the maker.

Great buy...from what I know with the original SL dome you cannot match exactly the dome positions in the movie.But with the EFX its possible.
So I would combine it with an EFX dome.

This is incorrect though pairing with an efx dome would work.

That is a shame.. another member told me he lives in boston. That’s 40min from me..

 

[vader45]

Thank you for the replies!

So it's only the face mask though unfortunately. I am in the market for a dome worthy of sitting on top of the SL mask. I am thinking of going with an eFx dome.

You should go to his house and knock some sense into him so he can honor the remaining people's orders! Lol
