Star Wars Black Series Helmet Action Figure

I saw this item pop up on things to purchase. I have almost the entire black series starwars collections so why not add it to my collection.The product price was $100, which is a bit pricey but the quality is excellent. This is my first and only Darth Vader helmet. The design is fabulous and the details are amazing. The helmet itself is NOT very heavy, though I don't recommend for a 6 year old.When trying to fit the helmet at first, I was a bit concern as it was a bit odd fitting it on my head. however, I was so amazed as it fit my "BIG" head. My head is also shaped weird as in I have a wide head. AP diameter is not that wide. For bicycle, I wear a Large Bell helmet, and motorcycle, I also wore a M to L Bell helmet. However, this item fit me just perfectly. I know other people have talked about the neck size. I don't have an issue. Thought, I wear a 15 inch collar shirt.It does get a bit hot if you're trying to make the darth vader breathing sound in 80 degree weather. It takes 2 AAA battery which is tucked away on the side. It does come with a button that makes the breathing sound of Vader. I was hoping that it could have made more than just one soundtrack. Maybe it should also say "Luke, I am your father".Overall, i am very pleased with the item. I even uploaded some pictures, and I rarely do that because it takes so much more time. Right now, I just have it on display. It does come with a stand to support the back. This is not a helmet to go paintballing with or riding a motorcycle. Though it would look very cool during haloween. In the last picture, I paired it with my ultrasaber custom sith saber. I'm sure it would look fabulous in costume and dark. I am very happy with the $100 spent on this product.

strong product, great look, worth every penny i spent.

I'm no SW ComiCon Uber geek - rather a somewhat lay fan who has enjoyed the original movies since 1977.By far, this is the most movie-accurate helmet/mask I've seen at what is a very approachable price point. Dimensions are accurate, proportions are accurate, and it just commands attention. I took the advice of several others around here and use it as a replacement for the mask to the Rubies Supreme costume, and I'm glad I did. When you put the two masks side by side, the choice is obvious.Indeed, with most any costume the mask tends to set the tone. While I may have some minor issues with the Rubies costume, this mask detracts from all of them. It's that good.One bit of a nit here - the button to activate the breathing effects is built into the mask. While useful if this is a display piece, when worn it's somewhat inconvenient. I keep batteries in this when I unmask so I can take advantage of the sound effects, but that's really it.A few notes on wear. It's adjustable but that applies to the mask itself, and only so far. The interior dimensions are fixed. There is enough space in there along with a open grille to allow for good breathing, however the lenses sometimes get fogged up. Easy way to fix that...get the anti-fog solution that scuba divers use and apply it to the inside of the lenses.When it's all put together and being worn, the lenses end up being opaque from the outside...so the illusion isn't ruined. The breathing grille is similarly darkened out, so the effect is very much movie-accurate. Clearly the designers spent time on these details.It's a fantastic mask/helmet/whatever. Having the collar assembly adds to the realism of the mask and makes it work very well with the Rubies costume. Very good product,.

AWESOME helmet!!! For being a "toy" this helmet is highly detailed and to date is the BEST of all the black series helmets released!!! However, if you are a fan looking for a "screen accurate" helmet this product is NOT for you!!! It is first and foremost a toy, and secondly it is a good display piece and a fun helmet for the kids to play with and reenacting Darth Vader scenes from the movies climax in both Revenge of the Sith and Return of the Jedi. Now, if you are a Star Wars fan and would like a cool display piece of the "Vader Reveal" helmet and don't care about screen accuracy then this is a great product for you to buy and to add to your collection. Also it makes a fun project piece to repaint and make it look more screen accurate at a cheap affordable price and some of the finished projects I've seen have turned out AMAZING and the helmets look like it literally just came out of the movie!!! Overall this is an awesome fun helmet to have in any Star Wars collection!!!

The helmet is amazing. It snaps together magnetically to hold really well and the one thing that truly surprised me was how well I could see out of it! No terrible blurry vision or super dark tint to everything! If I had one (very slight) disappointment, it is that the speaker quality isn't fantastic when you want to make the breathing sound effect. There isn't much intensity to it, however for $100 this thing is well worth it. When the mask part is off and you hit the button it even can sense it and goes to the labored breathing sound effect which I think is really cool! This is a cosplay level helmet for a really fair price and works as a table decoration or if you just want to hang around and look like Darth Vader.

This is a great helmet for the collector. Amazing detail and Black Series quality. I highly recommend adding it to your collection.

Best Helmet for Star Wars fans, specifically darth Vader, take pieces off and put it back together for different breathing sounds. I absolutely love this thing

It is incredibly, plastic, yes, but what do you expect?.. sounds great, looks really great and fit for a large head.Caution!, the neck is a whole different thing, the “neck band” or bottom pet of the helmet in not adjustable and it is a little narrow, I’m not an athlete type of body or fat, actually kind of slimy one and this part fits really tight.Absolutely worth the money!!

Es el mejor caso en el que pude invertir esta super bonito, se escucha muy bien el efecto de sonido.Actualmente es una pieza de colección pero sin duda lo usaría para alguna fiesta tematica o un evento de disfraces.

Acho que é o melhor capacete da Black Series, bem detalhado, um pouco difícil de montar no início por causa da peça do pescoço, mas dá pra pegar o jeito.

This is by far, the best Star Wars Black Series helmet to date. First, the helmet is beautifully polished straight out of the box so you can display it immediately. Helmet comes in four parts: the front collar, back collar strap, face mask and dome. Included is also a curved plastic riser to level the helmet when it is on display. To put this helmet on, you first need to insert your neck into the front collar piece and snap the back collar strap in place. On the collar, there are magnets that allows you to connect the face mask to it and finally the dome attach to the top of the face mask with built-in magnets. The magnets are strong enough to keep the dome attached to the face mask and not come loose or fall off from sudden movements.The overall sculpt of this helmet is beautiful. Even the helmet interior has all the wires and fine details that you would expect to see in Vader's helmet.One of the coolest features with this mask is that when fully assembled, the helmet plays the standard breathing noise that Darth Vader makes but if you remove the dome crown and the face mask, the mask will make a weak, wheezing noise; the same noise Vader makes at the end of the Return of the Jedi.Minor complaint: Unlike the Black Series' Luke Skywalker X-wing helmet, there is no interior padding so the helmet could feel uncomfortable if you have a large head. The face mask does have an adjustable support strap to keep the helmet secure and prevent it from shifting while worn on your head. For me, this is strictly a display piece and I will be buying a Plexiglas helmet display case for this helmet. Trust me when I say that this helmet is BEAUTIFUL.I bought this from Amazon Prime in January 2020 for $127.99, brand new. At the time, listings for this helmet on Amazon were in the $300+ price range so if you wait, I'm sure you'll see this helmet on sale again.Pros:- Full-size helmet- Adjustable face mask strap- Very detailed sculpt; inside and out- Beautifully polished straight out of the box- Perfect for cosplay or just to displayCons:- Fingerprint magnet (as expected from polished, glossy black)- Helmet stand is pretty simple; just a curved piece of plastic- Might be too snug for people with large, round heads

Good quality....recommended for Star Wars fans!!

I bought this amazing Darth Vader helmet replica and ruminated over where to mount it. In the end I made a Death Star wall panel adorned with light sabers to fully do this justice. Darth now watches over my simpit. The lid is awesome, MAssive, makes the Darth sounds, nice and shiny. Brilliant.
