DP DLX. Might be a recast of it.

 

[ob1al]

It looks like a repainted DP deluxe or a DP deluxe recast.

It is a fiberglass helmet.

Looks like a fiberglass recast of a Rubies to me.

 

[SirJediKnightTim]

Does it look a little "droopy" to you, or is that just me?

Droopy, you say? Hell that adds to the authenticity of it. :lol Yeah the DP DLX became even more "droopy" as the numbers increased, but it's sometimes also an indication of a recast.

 

[CGClone]

droop, neck-flair are common of the DP Deluxes/Rubies.

Is there a plaque, number or anything on the inside of the mask?

The DP Deluxe is fiberglass.

No. It is a fan made helmet.

What do you guys think this helmet is worth?????

Give me 2 seconds, and I'm going to post a photo of the inside.

I say it's a recast of a Rubies because the top connection piece is like a Rubies... the Don Post goes along the whole top of the head

*EDIT* Looked like a Rubies until I saw the top of it... never mind...

Also, it has the neck flare and the extremely soft helmet ridge.

Yeah, the neck flare does match the Rubies. Your talking about the Supreme Rubies, or the Deluxe?

What is "extremely soft helmet ridge" mean?

Well generally these helmets could go for $200 - $400 for an unfinsihed helmet, but considering the current state of supply and demand for vader helmets, I'd say you shouldn't pay more than $300-$350 for it. The market is just not currently in demand for vader helmets, however as C4 approaches and passes that may change.

 

[SirJediKnightTim]

Do you think it's ANH/ESB/ROTJ?

How good do you guys think it looks?

ROTJ based on the dome.

Not a Rubies... and definitely not a Supreme, as that one looks nothing like this. Can only be a copy of a DP DLX.

What is "extremely soft helmet ridge" mean?
[/b]

The raised center ridge on the top of the dome. It is rounded and soft compared to an original one which would be more squared and angled... but it is not as soft as a Rubies.

 

[SirJediKnightTim]

Looking at the Vader Helmets on this website, it looks most like a DP Classic Action recast.

Do you guys think the mouth droop, and cheeck droop is too much?

The dome mount contradicts that. Purely DP DLX.

I think you can get a better helmet elsewhere.
