Star Wars The Black Series Darth Vader Premium Electronic Helmet Obi-Wan Kenobi Roleplay Toy Ages 14 and Up

So after sitting on the fence over this purchase for quite a while (and at one point placing an order and then cancelling again). I decided to take the plunge and go ahead and make a purchase. And I'm happy to report that I'm very glad that I did. When this arrived from Amazon the next day by Prime, the very first thing that I did was unbox it. The very next thing that I did was put my Blu Ray copy of 'Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope' on the telly. What I then experienced was a 'Nerdgasm' of titanic proportions. Watching 'A New Hope' or Star Wars in vanilla money, and for those in the no of course. Was that this Hasbro Black Series Vader helmet is really rather good Indeed. In fact glancing at the movie playing on the TV, and then glancing at this Helmet. It was almost as if George Lucas had said to me after he had finished filming. "Well I've finished making this movie now mate, so I really don't have anymore use for this helmet...so do want to save me a bit of bother, and take it of my hands for me". It really is that good. Highly detailed and shiny, with a little button hidden under the chin, for that faithful movie accurate Darth Vader 'wheeze.' The button is not movie accurate of course, but it's well hidden. At this price point I have no intention of wearing this. The helmet comes with a little stand to pop it on. It's a stunning display piece, that gives me a warm glow of nostalgia every time I look it. There's a series of magnets that hold it all together, and they have been well implemented. There's no sign that they might come unstuck due to cheap glue, and need to be reglued again. The whole helmet feels quality and well made. And really just looks truly amazing. Expecially all the lovely detail under that shiny dome. There are a couple of things that you need to know about this Helmet before you make a purchase though. Firstly It is very very...very big. In Fact I found myself questioning if this has been really made to scale. Surely it can't really have been this big in the movie. Poor David Prowse...He must have been paid danger money wearing that. This of course means that finding somewhere to house your new Vader helmet might prove problematic. You will require a very big shelf to display it on. And I mean very big... Secondly and this is my only real criticism of this Hasbro Vader helmet. Rather than use a standard Phillips head screw to secure the battery cover in place. Hasbro has gone for one of those fiddly awkward T9 screws. And you will need one of those micro sized T9 screwdrivers to undo it with. I'm pointing this out because the instructions supplied Don't make this very clear. And even with the correct screwdriver it still isn't very easy to remove and then reinsert and tighten. The dome is very shiny, and will attract alot of dust fairly quickly, however a can of air will keep the dust at bay no problem. No need to wash it with soap and water as one reviewer suggested on here, and hope it doesn't dry with water marks (sigh). These can be expensive so you might want to consider a powered, rechargeable air duster. I purchased one for a little over 20 pounds here on Amazon just recently, and this does the job nicely in under 2 minutes. I purchased this helmet while it was on offer on Amazon, and was lucky enough to get it at a reduced price. However even at full price this is an amazing stunning purchase. And worth every penny.

Superb quality, excellently wrapped. Authentic look, movie quality!

This was a smashing darth Vader helmet & face mask, but who bought it for already got one for his birthday, so I had to return it to the supplier.

My son loves it. The sounds are great and it looks amazing.

Came very fast and well packaged. Helmet is very detailed and well made. Price was very reasonable. Very happy with it.

Looks beautiful with a perfect interior, easy to put on, only down fall is the breathing button is in bursts I feel like if it was a toggle on and off would be much better but apart from that good for wearing comfy and nice fitting and also looks amazing on display.

Excellent quality, it's the reel one with a fonction that does the breath sound (not the voice) not easy if you wear glasses but well done with the magnet system. Will do the job for long I hope !

One of the coolest helmets I have ever seen. It’s massive ! Fantastic quality. It’s probably too good to be a toy. My kid bought it after his ‘first day of work’ ( he’s 9 and got paid as an extra lol) and I’d say it’s probably a bit more suited for an adult …mainly because I’m jealous

O local para trocar as pilhas me parece um pouco frági para ser um local que deve ser manuseado com frequencia (afinal há recomendação de não deixar as pilhas no produto) tiando isso é perfeito.

Ho acquistato questo casco elettronico di Darth Vader della Black Series Hasbro come regalo, e l’effetto è stato davvero notevole. Il casco è esteticamente bellissimo, molto fedele all’originale e curato nei dettagli. Una volta indossato o esposto, fa un’ottima figura ed è immediatamente riconoscibile. I materiali trasmettono una buona sensazione di qualità e solidità, adeguata a un articolo da collezione. È pensato più per esposizione che per l’uso prolungato, ma come pezzo decorativo o regalo di impatto è davvero riuscito. Il destinatario del regalo è rimasto entusiasta, ed è uno di quegli oggetti che colpiscono anche chi non è un collezionista esperto. 👉 Consigliato a fan di Star Wars, collezionisti o come regalo importante e scenografico.

Ich bin absolut begeistert vom Star Wars Black Series Darth Vader Elektronischen Premium Helm aus der Obi-Wan Kenobi Edition! Die Verarbeitung ist hochwertig, die Details sind beeindruckend und die elektronische Soundfunktion sorgt für echtes Gänsehaut-Feeling. Der Helm lässt sich bequem tragen und ist ein echter Blickfang in meiner Sammlung. Besonders gefreut hat mich, dass ich ihn bei Amazon zu einem richtig guten Preis ergattern konnte – für diese Qualität ein echtes Schnäppchen! Für Sammler, Cosplayer oder einfach Fans der dunklen Seite der Macht: eine klare Kaufempfehlung!

Fantastisk produkt, detaljerna på hjälmen är helt otroliga! Däremot vart jag besviken återigen, har köpt mina senaste hjälmar genom amazon, men varje gång så har förpackningarna varit öppnade och plomberingen bruten. Väldigt tråkigt då detta sänker värdet på hjälmen om man tänkt att spara den med obruten förpackning.

Chełm wykonany z należytą starannością. Pod kątem wizualnym nie mam zastrzeżeń. Uważam tylko, że jak na tą cenę mógłby "robić" coś więcej.
