It was gunmetal color is in the show and the red lenses are in the show too. Only problem is when you get it from Amazon is that it will have random smudges and scratches on it. The scratch that bugs me on mine is below the lenses on the glossy black side
Awesome review! And you're right. The dome looks really weird. Which is a shame since everything else looks good. It maybe worth buying when the price drops.
This looks like a big improvement on their first try. The neck makes a huge difference. I have the Efx Vader helmet, though I got it when it first came out at $300, and Black series helmets were only getting going. But I think for anybody into collecting SW helmets, for a character and helmet as iconic as Vader's, it's worth the time to save up for that one.
Your observation about the polarized awesome/not awesome viewing angles was right on. I'll always nod toward the ep IV helmet and its somewhat rough and scarred appearance. I wish they would make it even more accurate: the paint scheme was only 1/3 of the possibilities. BTW: excellent review!
Thank you for the video, very informative and beautiful footage! I want to buy one of these helmets but a lot of videos on RUclips make the paint on the mask look too light of a gray for me. I understand the whole prop-replica thing but I personally want a helmet that looks like Vader in the films, not off-set. Would you say the paint looks good in real life? Like dark enough gunmetal that it’s almost black or is it just straight up silver? Thanks! ❤
Thank you very much for actually answering every single question, You’re the kind of content creator that everyone should be striving to be. A hidden gem of a RUclips channel right here!
Yeah saw it at my local buzzard comics store. £150 cost. I just got the obi wan vader mask instead of the helmet at half the price. That one contains quotes and you can speak as Vader
I’ve seen the original i person before…this updated helmet definitely looks way better! But tbh your paying for an upgraded version…if your happy with what you already have I’d say not to buy it…but the improvements are nice…unless you sold the old one to a friend and keep the new one…that would be worth it.
Stick with the original as that represents the return of the jedi helmet and it looks better than this one. The red lenses look awful. As a display piece the jedi one just looks the best.
Great review! I believe the lenses were Red in A New Hope, and they were black in ESB and RoTJ. The helmet looks really good. The small details are a very nice touch. But I can see what you mean by it looking off. To me, the "mouth" looks a little too wide
Hey man, I just saw your video, I have a question that I should ask... I currently have a Vader cosplay and he is wearing the helmet that Rubbies launched, my question is: Which case do you think the Rubbies or the Black one could be better? I hope you can answer me, just to make sure that if I buy the black series it will be worth it.
Oh that’s a tough one! They’re both great, but they both have their flaws. Ive never seen the Rubies helmet in person, but they both look great and I’m sure would do the job. The BS Vader does seem to look booger and wider then the Rubies.
You gonna get one of those tiered stands? That looks cool! Love all the detail on it, looks to wide though. I suppose they aim to fit most heads, but me personally, I’d rather it look good on display then fit my fat head 😂
Well look who it is. My favorite youtube killing a video once again!!!!!!! much love man
AWESOME, in depth, detailed review as always bro! Always love your camera work!
Thank you my brother!
That’s a pretty slick helmet bro, great video sir🤩🤩🤩
Thank you sir!
love the videos keep it up! 👍
Thank you!

The detail on this helmet is just insane. That indent on the top of the helmet would bother me as well! Awesome in-depth review Chris!
Thank you!!

Considering selling mine 😂😂

Vaders eyes are red in
A new hope, allso in the clone wars animated and rebels.

I totally agree! Maybe one of these days I will get me a much better and accurate Vader helmet!
Thank you so much, means a lot!
Looks so good dude!
My dude thank you!

Thank you so much I appreciate that VERY much! It’s looks look very grey but once the hood is your barely even notice the grey!

I appreciate the kind words!! Means so much!
@Piet thank you very much! 🙂
This was super cool bro!
That's sick
Great review, but you forgot to mention the inside of the Darth Vader mask.
Yeah saw it at my local buzzard comics store. £150 cost. I just got the obi wan vader mask instead of the helmet at half the price. That one contains quotes and you can speak as Vader
thank you for your explanation man but should we buy it or not if we have the original?
I’ve seen the original i person before…this updated helmet definitely looks way better!

Awesome bro 💪
Would it fit a big head?
Ive actually got a pretty big head myself lol
The rear straps are adjustable!
🔥
Awesome review man, very detailed and well presented. The helmet is a nice piece but that mould mark and the peak/brow area do spoil it for me.
Thank you so much!
Yea it definitely bothers me…displayed with that 3 tier stand would look perfect
You gonna get one of those tiered stands? That looks cool! Love all the detail on it, looks to wide though. I suppose they aim to fit most heads, but me personally, I’d rather it look good on display then fit my fat head 😂
Definitely thinking about it! But I need more room 😂
Gotta let you know that a new hope had red lenses and the animated show had red lenses too
Your absolutely correct I definitely forgotnto mention that in the animated series they were definitely red
