Very impressive! I’m 58 years old and the first time i saw Vader was when i was eleven in 1977. I love this! I was going to order the suit from Jazwares but it’s $1k! 😳 i like this set-up!
Love your Star Wars collection I have a lightsabers collection of every lightsaber from the movies and the video games and custom made collection and boba fett costume and anakin costume I will be getting vaders outfit in a couple days
Maybe its me, but I couldn't see a size difference in the helmets. Both look equally good and I didn't think the other one made you bobble headed at all. Great custom job. You certainly look the part. Would love a go at doing this, but at 5'6 would be an expensive outlay if I ended up looking like Dark helmet from Space balls. 😂
Dude this looks so cool. Im 16 and finally getting some hight to me, in a few short years i should be able to start making my vader costume. I cannot wait
That suit looks stunning!! Can't help but notice that your custom helmet has a tad different shape than your EFX helmet, is it molded to look more like the one in Obi-Wan Kenobi??
Cool Video and very interesting to watch. Im a Vader in the 501st but luckily I don’t need to modify my Vader since Im 6’6inches. In my garrison we are 7 Vaders and the smaller one is 5’11 and the others are 6’ 6’1 We accept smaller vader but they get warned that people might make jokes or tell them they are too small. I witnessed that situation when someone made fun of the smaller Vader we had I asked the guy where was his vader he shut up up and told me he was sorry Have fun with your costume Hello from 🇨🇦 SL19723 Forteresse Imperiale 501st
When I would video my old suits, I was bullied by a few but unfortunately also vaders from 501st garrisons, mostly for suit accuracy. I mainly do it for content, live streams etc. I have other suits for 501 events. I love the ability to just have a suit and option to wear for my own content.
Ahhhh shame on them some people take it too seriously I hate those types of people. We (my garrison) are far from those types of people I feel sorry for you But at least you are still enjoying doing it and thats the most important part id say screw them and have fun 😃
@@ThePolskiHussaryeah some people are real nasty about it. As a 501dt member, these assholes give us all a bad name. Im an esb vader in the star garrison and ur vader is spectacular!!
Im even shorter lol 5’10”. I get to 6’6” with boots with 2 inch sole, 1 inch flip flop, 2.5 inch of lifts, and insole. I train my calves so my body can handle it. Padding out my suit also helps with the look. When I was shorter as a vader i was around 6’3” - 6’4” and i did get called short a lot and it sucks tbh
Awesome job my friend!! Much better than your Rubies Supreme. You could be 501st approved if you turned off the chest box and purchased a Rogue One codpiece. Empire Essentials makes some nice stuff. I have the same boots from Crow Props but I had to have the soles taken down a little to meet CRL standards. Great video and costume!! You should be proud!!!
Awesome job dude - im just 6ft so also wear lifts to get that extra height - but I like the black series helmet - i know its not 100% but if you thicken the dome and have is resprayed it looks so much better - I always liked the look from eps 3 where the helmet went under the shoulder armor which the black series does - and best of all - you can take it off and keep the neck piece on - i hot glued a hard hat head holder inside so it fits just perfect - oh and removed the big plastic tusks for metal ones - that also helps it look loads better
For content, I still use the black series. And use the bottom piece for photos or content at times. But full helmet, I use my custom. It fits too good and not big at all.
@@ThePolskiHussar if you havent changed out the tusk yet 100% do it - the stock ones just pull / twist out and putting in some smaller metal ones looks sooooooo much better
that is one awesome short, I personally own the hasbro black series mask and it is SICK. I just really love the attention to detail. Just wondering, where do you get the rest of the cosplay?
This video was very informative. I’m 6’1 and would love to cosplay as Vader. I’m considered tall with most people I know but Vader is 6’6ish, I’m still too short. With a heel and shoe inserts I can probably get up to 6’3/6’4
The advanced boots can get you 5-6 inches. But like I said, it won’t be approved for 501. You will still be approved at your current height. It just depends how much you want to feel like Vader.
Some Vader in my garrison modified their boots by adding shingles inside to get a proper height but they told me they get back problems after an hour or two trooping
I have seen the products you sell on various platforms like ETSY, EBAY, and AMAZON. The same products are listed at different prices on these platforms. I can't trust them because the descriptions of the products are incomplete.
Really love this cosplay alot, I will be working on a vader suit myself based off of this video. One question I only have is where did you get the lightsaber, I wanna try Ultrasabers but if you have any recommendations I'd love to know your thoughts.
Hello mate!! I'm literally buying the same things you've had since I saw your video, because it looks amazing. But I have a question, where did you get your Codpiece? I can't find the right one for my cosplay!!! Hugs from Mexico bro
Any recommendations for a voice box system? My husband has a decent suit but not 501st....but would like a voice box so the kids have a better experience.
How did you thicken up the helmet dome on the Black Series helmet? Also would you ever put together a ESB or ROTS Vader suit? I think those versions are the ones I like the most and would love to put one together myself.
do you mind telling me your shoulder width? im pretty narrow and 6 foot BUT I'm worried I'm too narrow and it'll look weird if i try to do vader, though I'm thinking maybe i do padding?
Hello there! I am a short Vader as well, even shorter than you. 173 cm, which is around 5.8 I think. I have a SkunkWorks ESB which is wonderful but massive. What is the scale of your helmet? 90%? 80%? I would love to purchase one myself. Do you also have scaled down shoulder armor or is it standard size? In the video you hold the scaled down version closer to the camera, making the helmet seem bigger than it is. I would love to se a picture of the two helmets side by side. Hope to hear from you. Cheers from Denmark, Anders
With empire essentials you measure your head. And he sizes it to you! Thats how I did it. Fully sized Helmet from ESB is the largest one I think. So i am sure you feel like a bobble head.
It’s possible man. You can add height to the boots. And the helmet. Add 6-8 inches. Puts you closer. Some people even moved the helmet higher and look through the breathing mouth piece.
@@ThePolskiHussar I understand. I'm also a short Vader cosplayer. But I have the belt attached to the cod-piece. I really like your Vader costume, it's awesome either way

Too bad not all 501st garrissons actually follow the standards... I've seen a lot 501st members wearing sneakers as Vader and troopers... not even trying the bare minimum to hide the laces or anything...
@@ThePolskiHussar I don’t wanna call them out directly… to not start troubles for people… but yeah it happened often and always the same people… since it’s a very small group I’ll give them some slack… but still is quite odd to see a Stormtrooper rocking some Adidas
You inspiring me buy my own short vader cosplay and walking into a comic con making videos into it ❤
I think you carry it all very well, far better than Dark Helmet in Spaceballs!
The biggest fear for any cosplayer when doing a Vader!

Gooooooood
The force is strong with this one.
Lol
Dude! Your Vader suit looks absolutely fantastic. Congratulations. 👍
Thank you ❤
Looks amazing. I’m in the process of making upgrades to my Vader suit. I’ll definitely use your helpful links.
Looking good!! Empire Essentials FTW! 🙌 🔥🔥
ALWAYS
Really cool video. Nice to see you talking and spending time with us on camera.
Thank you for the comments
@@ThePolskiHussardid you get the 3 piece suit or the 2 piece suit
This video fit me like a glove.
I will definitely get a darth Vader suite
Got too!!!
This is extremely helpful. Expensive but worth every penny
im 5'7 and still want to cosplay vader despite the looks id probably get
I'm 5'7 and just started my build, decided not to let anyone or anything stop me
Absolutely amazing, but to make it even better would be to add a chain to the cape to attach the cape like in the films!
Possibly. Rogue one didn’t have one, since it was tucked so deep up in his neck. I may do it!
I must own this.
You must
Mhmm i have a suit but definitely watching this after work to see what i can do for upgrades
Hell ya❤❤❤
SICK BRO 🔥🔥🔥 I’d wear this all the time if I had it 😂😂😂

Currently building my suit! Ordered an Empire Essentials kit and a lightsaber from Roman Props.
Congrats!!!

A bit different. And molded smaller. Aim was kenobi.

This feels like what they did with him in the kenobi show mixed with rouge 1
Yes. That’s my goal.
So amaizing this suit
thank you
I'm also 5'10" and felt like I couldn't pull off a Vader. Where did you acquire the boots, and how did you add height to them?
They are linked. Crows props can make them custom for you. They add 5 inches
I could be wrong but doesn’t Vader wear the inner robe over the chest armour as he does in ANH?
Yes, I mixed mine with the Kenobi Series. So i put the robes under. I can do over to if i want.
@@ThePolskiHussar Ah cool.
Fantastic!! Thank you
Very Nice
❤️
Ahh cool you just gave me options. I’m 5’11 and was worried about my height in a Vader costume.
It’s possible!
Use internal lifts in your boots with the helmet on you'll easily get to 6'4 or 6'5 in costume

Im a 501st Vader Im 6 f 6 inch and there are Vaders in my group who are 6 f1 we even have a 5f 11inch Vader

This is not a black series helmet. Advise that you purchase a custom helmet if you want it to fit best
I love the rogue one Vader and kenobi vader
So good! ❤
Do you have the cross guard light saver from Jedi Survivor?
No! But I want it
When will you review the Master Chief costume?
Hi. Short Vader wanna-be here. Is the custom helmet you showed also from Empire Essentials? Thanks!
yeah it was from Empire Essentials :) I'm also in the process of making my cosplay, but I'm building the armour and helmet myself!
Question i thought vader had some sort of chain with that cape... maybe that changed during the series?
In Rogue one, it is tucked under his helmet so very hard to see. In Kenobi series its very visible. I may add one.. we will see.
nice suit bro !!! Buit did you know where i can found the ROTS's Darth Vader Helmet ?
Thats the all black helmet,. Very shiny. The link in my bio for empire essentials can make one for you.

can you make the same Video from Boba Fett

Yup. Very snug and comfortable too.

46 cm. So the chest pad adds a lot too.

I want this so bad
I have some question to ask you and wondering if u could help me out with these masks and costumes
I have many linked in my channel bio, and everything u need for vader here. I do not make any, i just have people help me and i make videos.

Does it come with a booster seat for his TIE Advanced? :P
Most impressive Vader there, can i ask where you can get a customized helmet like that? Im in the process myself building a costume 😊
I figured it out and just placed my order at TheEmpireEssentials 😁
yeasss.... measure you head, and it should come in nice and fitting.
If you think you're a short Vader, with all my height suspenders, I end up being your original height...
It’s still possible!
how much more was it to get custom fit? i just ordered my owk helmet
Takes a while, but check the links. They may run discounts, but its tough work, so it is expensive.
Do you use internal lifts inside your boots as well?
Yes. There is also internal lifts.
Where did you get the saber from
If you buy parts separately, will the suit still look great?
thats how all film accurate vader suits are!
Where do I buy one?
Everything is linked in description. ❤
I’d never be able to do Vader because I’m 5 ft 5/6.
Can I buy this
Where did you buy your costume? Thx

100% film accurate to a specific Vader from a specific movie
