EFX Collectibles Review: Darth Vader Helmet (Legend Edition)

- In this video I review a high end collectible item from the Star Wars Saga: EFX Collectibles Darth Vader Helmet Legend Edition. This prop replica was produced in 2011 and was made to look like the film used prop by going into the Lucasfilm archives and finding the original molds to create the infamous Darth Vader Helmet in Star Wars A New Hope. Originally using Ralph McQuarrie's Concept design, Sculptor Brian Muir put together the helmet that is now the most recognized villain in cinema history. When EFX Collectibles announced on the website that a few of these helmets were found in the warehouse and for sale I took the chance to get my hands on a part of cinema history.
The Star Wars: Episode IV -A New Hope Darth Vader Helmet is so iconic! I believe you made a good decision by working with EFX to get the Legend Edition. Great review!
Great to see a video from you again. Great piece, glad you didn't settle and got exactly what you want. Thanks for putting out this review.
Personally I prefer my limited edition helmet. I like the idealised cleaned up version more than the roughed up one.
Just FYI: the original ANH helmet used three Apple II computer "tabs" to connect the helmet to the face mask, not velcro.
You might be thinking a later version as the Apple II wasn't even released when they filmed the movie.
That is an awesome helmet!🔥🔥🔥❤
I think "we just found......" is a marketing ploy. Surprised they didn't bag it before putting it in the foam.
I’m pretty sure I have the Limited Edition you sent back.
Wym?
An amazing helmet, but unfortunately they did not make the 3D c-scar and other scrathes and dents the original helmet had.
Maybe you didn't watch the video?
@@dcampagna1772 I also meant the paint scratches
@@teslathejolteon8007 It does have the C-Scar and the scratches, as pointed out in the video. Which is why I asked if you saw the video.
@@dcampagna1772 read carefully, I said *3D* c-scar. This one is painted.
Tesla is absolutely right. The Legend edition has been cleaned up still. The C scar is part of the helmet and it has remained on many authentic casts. I have one and you can see bumps as to where the scar is at. But there is more that was cleaned up and removed. On top of that the gunmetal paint is far to clean. The original had a ton of scrapes and paint chips all over it from being rushed and used.
Why is the helmet silver instead of gray?
It's beautiful. But I find it strange and hard to believe that it looks unfinished under side of the helmet.
100% how the original helmet was. The real ones when you see them up close are pretty sloppy, but beautifully so.
I saw the R2-D2 from ANH and you could see the really ASS paint job complete with brush strokes.
What is difference numbering plate version and artist proof plate version?
Hi! I'm still watching your cool Vader video and will resume "play" soon. Just wanted to blurt out laughing that I soon realized 2:53 seconds into your clip that you weren't ever gonna tell us how much you paid for your ultimate choice Darth V Helmet. It's okay, we feel you, Man. I'm pretty sure you had to to give up your Apartment , the Nissan, and your Girlfriend for this cool SithLord Prop. Come see me when you're ready for a Custom Bust-Size Display "ANH" Outer Cape and Sith Surcoat Inner Robe that goes under Episode IV Darth Vader's Armor. #DesignerTJP
You make the cape?
@@Ameuxethon Yep! Punch in #DesignerTJP in your search string on Google, and there I'll be!
Could i ask where did you get it?
Luis V. I purchased it from the efx collectibles website. They mentioned they had a few and contacted customer service.
How did you contact Bryan Ono as I've messaged EFX via website a lot with no replies?
He had contacted me when there was a billing error when I purchased the Limited Edition darth vader helmet. I replied to his message and then went about to ask about the Legend Edition. The customer service is not the best as they can take forever in replying.
@@FreeterProductions Yeah Im having problems with the customer service had one reply and haven't heard anything since so I've been looking at other ways to try and contact them but am failing miserably.
How do you even get one?
Ashton Thomas the only way you can find one these days is through eBay. Or if you happen to be part of a collector group on Facebook they often sell replicas.
The Paint job its not movie accurate.The Best Vader helmet is Master Edition from Shadow-fx-Studios.
Honestly, his helmet looks good, but he’s over done it.
@@CanadianVader And Efx add to little
The ME from SFX are badly modified recasts. The dude is a liar and gets off by fueling drama with other people. I was one of them. His helmets are not what he claims. They are just poor recasts with a decent finish.
Not really good. The helmet was really reluctantly casted! Asymmetrical
The screen used helmet is asymmetrical up until revenge of the sith, although this helmet isn't completely accurate I don't think it's bad because in a new hope the helmet is rough, dirty, and asymmetrical
How in the heck did you actually contact EFX? I can't get through to anyone. I know someone below asked, but you did not post actual information (phone numbers or email address). These guys are impossible to contact. If anyone has had success please post actual contact information.
So they only made 250 of these and it doesn’t have a shred of inside detail or possibly a voice changer . If I bought this I’d be pretty upset .
This is a replica of the original film prop which had none of that.
Decent helmet but it doesn't look legend.. Not a fan of ANH Helmets
Why?
