Darth Vader As He Might Have Been

Just a little nod to all you Darth Daddy lovers out there. This is a full sized new helmet for the Sith Dark Lord based on early concept renderings from genius Ralph McQuarrie. The helmet is leather lined and a touch more obviously menacing than the helmet that would eventually encapsulate the scarred dome of the morally confused Anakin Skywalker.

This puppy went for 900.oo clams, had a limited edition run of 250 and has sold out before the thing is even out in the world. Crikey! Below is the helmet in it’s modular glory, plus a few more choice images from the mind of master McQuarrie. Thanks Gizmodo.
