Which of these Vader Helmets Do You Like?

[sprytel]

I prefer B. But I agree that, unless you have another Vader in helmet A standing right next to you, nobody else will even pick up on the differences. They will just see a super cool Darth Vader costume. So if A has comfort and ease on its side, then it sounds like a winner to me.

I think the left Vader looks more screen accurate.

Are any of your helmets from VaderPainter? If they are and I were to guess, I would say A.

If you are looking to troop as ANH Vader specifically then I too would go with B. However, if you have ever trooped as Vader (or know someone who has) those fans come in handy. Either one looks like the are certainly 501st approvable so . . . pick your poison.

May the Force be with you.

I get the ESB vibe with the helmet on the left, but the one on the right just doesn't sit right at all for me. Definately the one on the left for me. It's a really nice helmet.

If you really want the best opinion, contact Brian Muir via his company website. http://www.rspropmasters.com/about-u...muir-sculptor/

If the sculptor of the original helmet can't help, who can?

Brian has already endorsed helmet "A". I think with a more satin paint job, A would be the clear winner, so that's a possibility.

Follow up:

Both helmets are now for sale, if anyone here is into this sort of thing. I won't start a FS thread, because it's not remotely Mego related.

Your post reminds me of "For sale: baby shoes, never worn."

So if both are for sale, what are you doing for a trooping helmet?

I picked up a more accurate eFX version, which I am going to (*ulp!*) modify by adding fans for ventilation, and securing the dome so it doesn't fall off while trooping.
