dude still looks bad ass without the helmet and extremely large shoulder piece

i like this helmet a lot! i don't know about the voice changer but the shape is perfect, i mean the eyes aren't too flat, the mouth part is not bulky at all, just perfect!!

I though the shoulder armour looked a bit big at first, but once he had the cape on, it the costume looks legit

Yeah, it does look better on taller people. But the shoulders are important because they are proportionate to the helmet.

Not really: I've explained... This is the same size of the movie. But since I'm not the same size of David Prowse, it looks bigger in me. Actually, a simple proof of what I'm saying is that if you look carefully and compare the mask with the shoulder armor, you'll notice they have exactly the same size ratio between them, as in Episode 3. You'll see that all the hard parts are slightly too big for me. Otherwise it's a great costume.

At 2:15 you almost look like kylo ran

The hard parts (helmet, armor, etc...) are perfect for your size. The Leather suit and the cape, you'd have to order them tailored to your measures.

Props to you for getting that entire thing on by yourself.

Voice doesn't sound like the real dearth vader

Wow, interesting. I had no idea the boot soles were so thick, but then again the character is actually about 6'8" or 2 meters tall according to the book. The shoulder piece is a bit too big. The cape is supposed to hang forward of the shoulders to almost cover him. Please don't take this the wrong way, but Darth Vader is really supposed to be played by someone over 1.83 meters (6') tall just because of how big the shoulder piece and helmet look. Sad in a way about how many little kids love Darth Vader. The character was a brutal killer.

everything goes well till those shoulders... 2 big 4 ya

Awesome Darth Vader is my favorite character on starwars great costume man

Well... You are so right, I even have a hard time talking about it. It was quite excentric of me to buy it but I've enjoyed the costume a lot on several ocasions and it was rewarding in the end. I already had to sell the shoulder plate, the shin guards, the belt and the light box... But I'll re-buy them soon and this time I'll search all around for smaller sized versions.

Just check ebay for Vader Armor, Vader Helmet, Vader Costume, etc... And choose "higher price first" if you're looking for a costume of this build quality. This is a $3000 costume in the whole. It's fiberglass and true Argentinian leather. There are also expensive electronics for the voice changer (not this one but the one in my other video). If you want a cheaper (lower quality) version for around $700 USD, search ebay for "Supreme Vader" or "Vader Rubies". This is all the info you need.

With all that exageration in details on the defects list of my costume, I start wondering if you have wrote to Lucasfilms expressing your disapointment for incompetence like the one displayed everytime a shorter stuntman used the vader costume making the chest box come too close to the shoulder armour, like the scene where Vader chops Luke's hands off... Also have you told Hayden Christensen how much he needs to work out before he looks like David Prowse?

HOLY...FUCKING..SHIT!!!!!!! GOOSEBUMPS!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent! Very instructive.

Olá Carlos, esta fantasia foi comprada a uma séria de diferentes fabricantes particulares de réplicas de filmes de Hollywood. Um da Noruega, outro dos EUA e outro da Argentina. Isto não é um fato como o da Rubies "Supreme Edition"... Esse é em plástico e napa. Este é em fibra de vidro e pele genuina... O q faz dele uma réplica quase perfeita do Episode 3. A modulação de voz foi adquirida à parte também. Para mais info contacte-me por favor via mensagem. Um abraço!

"Hello people! My name is Miguel Queiroz, the Darth Vader from Portugal."

I see... I never noticed Boba Fett appeared in Episode 2, in person. I had just noticed him in episodes IV to VI, where he is always under armor. Thanks for explaining.

It´s amazing! really amazing.

Very cool costume

Sweet, nice to meet you too! SL-4339! Yeah that helm looks to be an original Porty, but it does the job for now, certainly not a bad helmet! Those MR ones are slick, though. As for the box, I'm not knowledgable on ROTS box makers, only ESB.

I've seen it. Looks great! Very nice costume you have too!! Cheers!

I'm sure that's the most coherent comment that came to your mind as you dribbled on such outstanding Vader armor replica.

Yes!.. Some people only buy these suits to dress them on a manequin and leave it there in a room standing. In fact, when you think of the price and it's fragility, it's the wisest thing to do.

Dude. Leave him alone, this video kicked ass.

Ok. Very awesome! Thanx for answering my questions. VERY nice vader outfit btw! :)

Well, yes... Inside the helmet in particular. Fortunately I use it mainly in October and February, when it's considerably cold. The body also sweats a bit because I always wear a lycra undersuit precisely to protect the leather a bit from my sweat. I have a fan inside the helmet that prevents it from fogging the lenses.

THAT IS SOOOO COOL!!!!

Awesome!

Thank you very much for the response, at least now I have an idea that it really is going to be that expensive. Well the best thing is were going to own one and that's for keeps. Once again, great video and many thanks.

Unlike the supreme Edition costume, that comes with hindges, all these fan made fiberglass replicas of the shoulder/chest armor, come with the shoulder caps in separate pieces from the chest piece. There for you can create your own hindge system, and articulate it the way you want.

They're jealous and they're haters... That's what. ;) Thanks for the kind feedback! :)

Because I always wear some lycra jumsuit under it... At the time, the Superman Returns outfit was the only one I had, lol... But these days I just wear a spandex black undersuit. This allows the Vader costume to be protected from sweat and will glide when you dress it.

Thanks!

I bought it: 1. To have fun 2. To incarnate my favorite Star Wars character 3. To do thematic public appearances and charity work I also happen to be a 501st Legion Member (google it, if you wish further info). But that took place 4 years after I bought the costume so, it wasn't a purpose for buying the costume. Rather a consequence, I would say.

Yes it is. There used to be a reduced version but, now it's hard to find because the manufacturer isn't around much.

Thanks for the supportive comment! Around $3500, spent throughout a whole year.

Thanks! No, the one from Rubies is in plastic and faux leather and is a fabric series item. This one is handcrafted by private manufacturers in fiberglass (using aledgedly movie accurate molds) and custom taylored in true argentinian leather. It costs 5 times more.

Honestly, it was the fact how towering Darth Vader was that made him so iconic and frightening. Making him tall instantly gave him a sense of power and thus was feared in the films. Needless to ay he scared the shit out of me when i was little

From private manufacturers... People who make these replicas for fun but who are great artists and get often to work for events companies and moviemakers.

That was awesome

I'm glad you like the costume! There are two version of this costume you can buy: 1. The Rubies Supreme Edition Vader Costume - This one is between $500 and $750 and you can find on stores online. The materials are not so great (plastic and faux leather), but it's pretty decent. 2. The costume such as mine - This is bought from several different private manufacturers on ebay. Just search on eBay for "Vader Armor". One fo these manufacturers leaves in the Phillipines, I believe. Cheers!

nice costume, looks great on, i thought the shoulder armor was a bit big at first, but with the cape on its not that bad great job

You'r right, it would be cool to have that suit. Even if I would never wear it.

wow! nice outfit! I've been wanting to get those and saw one at buystarwarscostumes, its a bit pricey to say the least, but tell me something... does it include the boots? 'cause I'm planning to get one, the supreme authentic edition... but they didn't mention anything about the boots. and one other thing, the built in voice modulator in the helmet, does it really make you sound like Darth Vader, including his breathing? thanks for a great video.

Yes... I'm afraid that is so much true that I recently decided to sell the shoulders and wait for some props maker to come up with a smaller sized versions for non-sevenfooters, lol...

hello again!!! How are things with you now? Anyway, I've been wanting to ask you this question but keep forgetting it, well here goes; I'm curious about your shoulder armor, I mean how long is it from tip to tip and how wide? thanks again.

@SSSoM3: I will explain, my friend: The Supremem Edition is a costume that mimics the one from the movie but it's made for mass production for the general public. The materials are plastic and faux leather. Costumes like this you see on the clip are REALLY like the one from the movies: They are made of fiberglass (not molded plastic) and true leather (not faux leather). Furthermore they are not mass produced they are made one by one and taylored to fit (the leather parts, not the fiberglass).

You're right. I forgot it in this clip, but if you watch my other vader clip, you will see the saber in action along with the armor.

Remember that Vader was a 2.01 meters giant with mechanic parts and pure muscle, and remember also David Prowse, he was a culturist, it's hard to so much people to looklike that giant, Prowse. Btw nice costume.

Thank you my friend!.. I have been working out so I look bigger now. The shoulder armor has also been replaced by a slightly smaller one and, the jumpsuit's color is fine. The problem is the light here...

Yes, that's the sound distortion device. I built that electronic kit myself, but I'm not satisfied with the distortion yet... It needs improvements. The breathing sound comes from another device, installed in the belt and wired up to a speaker in the mask.

a very good video ! i enjoyed it.

+fluffytoaster427 As stated in the video's FAQ, I'm 1,77m (5ft9). The boots I bought regular black boots and had platforms added by a shoe maker. They are about 8cm tall.

To a lot of private collectors and props makers. you can find them in several online auction websites.

wow cool costume hey man how many extra inches does those boots gives you and how tall are you

Thanks!.. That was the idea!

@MegaAlex1611: That is correct commander!... ;) Yes, this is from custom-props (or fenix-props - I think they split in two props makers now). It was purchased in 2005, when they were just starting to manufacture these props. Really quality stuff they always make!

I'm in the process of building a Vader...and I must say you look very good in this suit, unlike some I have seen...what is your height and weight? And how tall are you with the suit on? Thanks man, Tim.

+zychnbomb Well, I'm 5ft 9'' and 68kg. That's why I look short in that costume. If the costume had a smaller helmet and shoulders, I'd look taller despite being the same height. It's a matter of proportions since this helmet and shoulders are made for a 2m tall guy.

Great costume! Although expensive, next on your list should be the MR Vader helmet.

I noticed the huge platform vader boots as well, nice touch. And actually, if I remember right Hayden was never in a vader suit. I think got someone else for the final shot of Vader screaming "NOOOOOOOOO" And then when they're on the star destroyer Vader towers over the emperor haha

Even weirder...sticking around to watch it and comment.

Very nice.

I find the helmet a bit big on this one. I picked up the Rubies standard one (which isn't as good quality), but its a whole bunch smaller. Makes it look a bit more to scale. The original actor was a huge guy, and this mask is 1:1 scale to the one he wore. Awesome suit, though. I love it. I just ordered one too. :)

@LRP7740: On the couch. See at 0:08: There's the hilt on the couch arm and the complete MR lightsaber on the couch back, wrapped in the black robe.

This costume is not for sale. It is not on shops. I bought it from several different private props manufacturers. It's in fiberglass and true leather, and it cost me about $3000 altogether.

1st: My costume was purchased from different manufacturers. (Argentina, USA, Norway...), most of them acquainted at eBay. The final price was around $2500 USD. 2nd: No, the shoulder armor never even comes close to fall off. It doesn't even move, with the ergonomic inside foam padding I added. You can see that in my other clip "Vader em Alcobaca", where I move around a lot. It's in "more from this user".

Good day to you. And thanks for the nice video. Where did you buy your Darth Vader outfit, if I may ask? We are practically the same height (1.78 metres). I want to buy the same set you have, if possible. Thanks for any reply.

Bem legal! Compraste no Ebay?
