You can't just post a thing of beauty like that without providing some extra information. How did you do that light sabre? That kicks major ***. And is the suit custom made or did you find it somewhere else? Never seen a pleather suit before, but it looks great

[Bruce Banner]

That's awesome.

You didn't see mine then.

Guess not. Did you go all out with plastic shoulder armor and matching codpiece as well?

[AJ Collector]

Great Job!

Thanks alot everyone!The handle of the light saber is the light and battery.I found it at a hardware store a couple years ago.It was sold as a light to attach to a frisbee or RC plane etc.I cut the handle off a Hasbro light saber and glued the 'light handle" to it and painted it.The bad news is,i didn't realize the possibilities of it until recently and the store i bought it at is not selling them anymore and i have not been able to find them anywhere else.I made the suit,its not pleather,its the real deal,Leather.The head and most armor pieces were modified to fit, from the Hasbro Darth Vader.I made the boot armor and the shoulder pieces.I measured him and he is 8 1/4 inches tall so he taller than the rest, like he should be.

Very interesting as well as clever and creative. I kind of wish I knew what to look for as I would see if I could find anything like it in my area. Exellent idea.

That top pic looks like it could have come from "Empire"... Darth in the red glow of the carbonite freezing chamber! He looks absolutely perfect.

Man, it really makes you wonder what might have been if Mego had done the "Star Wars" figures...

Still think that light saber kicks ***, good job finding and converting that frisbee light. The fact that he's a little taller than average Megos is just icing on the cake

[Megospidey]
