What Do You Guys Think of this Vader Helmet?

[SirJediKnightTim]

Does anybody own this helmet? How good is it?

That's the Rubies fiberglass helmet.

A lot of those tend to be quite warped, from what I have seen. I believe they come from the old Don Post Deluxe molds (or from a remoulded DP deluxe).

You can do a lot better with a 'fanmade' helmet for around the same price, IMO.

EDIT: forgot to mention, the paint scheme is reversed on these too.

that sums it up.

How were the colors reversed?

Easiest way to say in that photo is that the right cheek should be silver, so on and so forth.

I seen one in person, I would rather have a fan made anyday.

Junk.

 

[blewis17]

Seen it too. Old DP mold, that somehow looks even more messed up when Rubies made it. REALLY warped. PASSSSS on this, unless you can grab it for next to nothing.

Save your money, don't ever buy a Rubies Vader.

We discussed this in detail over at ThePropDen, if this helps. Some close-up photos too.
