"Turn to the dark side Ryan"

[RSS]

Jon sent in this terrific picture of his brother Ryan encountering a rather home made looking Lord Vader at Karber's camera store in Hamden CT. I think the chest panel is from Phantom of the Paradise.

Where is Jon you ask? Well, he informs me that he was too scared of the Dark Lord and ran away! I think we've all had those moments, thanks Jon!

That is too cool. Yeah, it looks like a home made costume, but once you put on that helmet it doesn't matter what the rest of the costume looks like to a kid, all they see is Vader

I love that these appearances tend to happen at places other than toy stores. Camera shops, car dealerships, mom & pop, etc. Come meet Darth Vader and buy a Vivitar and some flash bulbs. You just do not see that done anymore and I for one miss it.

At least it wasn't a Lite-Brite.

I'm with you! It would really be cool if more stores still did these. A couple of my friends do different costume apparences, but it's usually mostly for birthday parties. One of them is an amazing Spider-Man.

Actually, THAT would have been AWESOME!

I thought of that because I just saw the Robot Chicken Star Wars Special again.
