My son was very keen to spend his saved up pocket money on this item. He had seen several unpacking reviews on YouTube and it appears to be highly regarded, I was however sceptical having seen it's price and not wanting this to become a "dust collector" once he is bored with it after a few days.We looked at the other reviews on Amazon together with regards to the packaging, what it can and cannot do, all of which was confirmed via the YouTube videos we watched also. He was still very keen and we ordered it.The item arrived in a large Amazon box, surrounded by packaging paper, with the main product box insider, we had seen a previous review which stated it arrived in the product box with a sticker stuck to it but that wasn't out experience.

Dealing with pesky rebels, completing the Jedi purge or simply forcing the empire’s might and power across the galaxy is a tough job. It involves numerous skirmishes and frequent though fights and duels. Even if one has the power of the dark side, one’s helmet does not always come through unscathed. So it is great that replacement helmets are now available on Amazon.This is an excellent 3-part helmet that every Star Wars fan will appreciate provided they have the space to display it. It is appropriately very large, certainly compared to the other helmets in our collection. It requires a couple of AA batteries to operate the electronics and hear the Dark lord’s heavy breathing.

Great to see that Amazon have listened to past reviews about stuff like this being delivered in a separate box rather than simply having shipping labels stuck on the product packaging. These things are *collectible* and the packaging is just as important as the product inside it. Top marks for Amazon for delivering this product well protected :-)So what can I say about this new Darth Vader helmet other than WOW! This really is the Darth Vader helmet we've been waiting for. Whilst it's not entirely screen accurate, it's as close as you're gonna get for £100. What will strike you most about it is the shear size of the helmet - this thing is a monster!

The Vader helmet certainly looks the part! It's nicely packed, well protected and strong.Made up of four pieces, that form three sub-assemblies ; collar, face mask and helmet. All of them look great, especially the collar and face mask. The outer helmet has a mould ejector mark right on the top. A shame they didn't shave and polish it out. (My Black series Stormtrooper helmet is perfectly smooth) For that it loses half a star.The details in the two piece collar are very nicely executed; raised studding around the back and at the joint really pop out. The little-maybe microphones on stalks-that can be seen in RoTJ, near Vader's mouth when his helmet is removed are there along with other nice detail.

What can I say....these are the things we dreamed of as children and now the Black Series delivers. As a piece of art, it's fantastic. I'm not looking for screen accuracy, I'm not looking for slight alterations between Episode IV and episode VI, I just want a Darth Vader mask. It delivers on aesthetics with the completed mask. For this they get 5 stars.Wearing this is another matter. I will just say if you're a big guy or gal with claustrophobia...this has not been made for you to wear. Whereas the build is study enough to clip things on and off, this thing is kinda tight. No only that with the inner mask being made of hard plastic it loses large amounts in the comfort department.

I LOVE THIS!Ever since I was a small child and first saw Return of the Jedi and the scene where look stripped back Vader's helmet/mask, I literally dreamed of being able to own one of these.Over the years there have been several fan made/custom builds but these were never anything close to being affordable.And then Hasbro release this!This is what dreams are made of.It's made of high quality plastic, the mould of the mask looks accurate (although it's huge...which just makes the Vader visage seem all the more imposing)Because it's a mass produced product and not a prop it may not be quite movie accurate, but it's pretty damn close.I imagine for those that are going for real accuracy,

To say Hasbro have outdone themselves with this product would be doing them a major disservice. I think the only item that could possibly outdo this would be Lenovos movie accurate wearable helmet.Looks amazing as a display piece, looks amazing as a cosplay accessory.One small point, however. I have cosplayed as Vader on several occasions and gone through several different iterations of the mask. In comparison to most, this one is very snug. Not to the point of being uncomfortable and in fact the field of vision this gives you is much better than most. In fact, the close fit of the mask is probably more of an advantage as it stops it from moving around on your head.

Let's face it, there are movie baddie's, and there are movie baddie's, but Darth Vader takes it to a whole new level. Since his original appearance in Episode 4 he has been the ultimate movie bad guy, uncompromising and relentless, and as badass as it gets in the closing scenes of Rogue One, this is an excellent version of Darth Vader's headgear. Detail wise, the three piece helmet is second to none, it's slightly claustrophobic and the first time you put it on on you can almost feel Vader's pain and anguish at being encased it for ever more. It's a tad uncomfortable for wearing for an extended period of time but coupled with a reasonably cheap costume the overal effect was very good,

Wow, just Wow.I had seen the reviews of this product, but actually having it in hand it is even more amazing than I thought it would be. This is obviously not going to be a 100% "screen accurate" prop replica, you will pay 5 times the price for that, but it does a damned good job. I was lucky enough to se the Return Of The Jedi "reveal" helmet that this is based on at the London Star Wars Identities exhibition last summer, and I think this is very very close. The level of detail on this helmet is phenomenal, their is so much of it both inside and out. The sound effects are for me an added bonus, but once again Hasbro have done a great job of replicating what we hear in the movies and especially at this price point.

Came well packaged in an outer Amazon box.I managed to get it at a heavily reduced price (I had paid £100 for a Stormtrooper Ep4-6 helmet previously) but it would have been value for money paying the full price. It is in three segments just like in Ep6 when Vader reveals himself to Luke. The neck piece fits well even though I'm a 17.5in collar. It can be fiddly dropping the face piece onto this but after a few goes it fits easily with a satisfying 'sucking' noise on contact (and similar noise on disconnecting). The contact is done by fairly powerful magnets.The helmet again drops into place easily after a few goes and is connected by magnets. There's a handy little piece of black plastic in the box (don't throw it away!)

This helmet is fantastic. The quality is solid, it's comfortable and beautifully detailed. The sound effects are loud, clear and accurate (Also easily activated). All in all this helmet could be used by the Dark Lord himself!It even arrived 3 days earlier than expected, and on a Sunday.My only complaint (Not even a complaint really, more of an opinion) is it's slightly big, I mean I have a medium - large size head and it looks big on me. With a little adjustment of the straps it fits fine, just looks big in general. Not sure if this is the actual size that Vader wore or if it's slightly exaggerated for aesthetic purposes.I'd recommend this to any Star Wars / Vader fans out there.

This purchase was worthy of a review so here it is..... It is a thing of shear beauty. Having bought the Kylo Ren and Stormtrooper black series helmets I felt it was worth the investment. It is by far the best of the 3 helmets. To pay less than £90 seemed too good to be true. It is well made and the 3 parts fit together well using magnetic catches. I was slightly worried about how accurate the sizing might be compared to the original film prop but I shouldn't have been It is a large piece and has a real presence about it. I haven't tried it on or tried the electronic sound effect feature so can't comment on the fit or this function.

WOW!!! I think this Darth Vader helmet is definitely the best one ever. There are other Darth Vader helmets available but none I've seen come in three parts like this one. You get the collar/neck brace, the mask (both with amazing detail) and obviously the helmet. All three fasten together with pretty strong magnets. The superb detail on the collar and mask isn't completely movie accurate but it's very, very close. What is movie accurate are the awesome sound effects. There's the iconic breathing, air pressure release and 'injured Vader' breathing sounds. I'm so glad I bought this helmet especially at such a good price and it only took two days to arrive in perfect condition. Amazing.

If your a big Star Wars fan then this is an absolute must own at any cost, a beautifully high detailed mask at full scale, the mask separates into sections in order for you to be able to wear it, the pieces are magnetised and very easy to put together and also adjustable for a child but mainly it’s for adults, only an adult would be able to afford such an extravagant collectible, all parts are highly detailed and there is a button hidden on the side for the realistic breathing sound effects (2 AAA batteries) the mask comes with a little stand that props it up well for display. The box is very big and is very nicely designed too! A must have for fans, this is the only mask you need!!

First off right out of the box this is a fantastic collectors piece. The helmet is huge and comes in three pieces. The neck plate complete with exquisite detail. A press of the activation button on the side plays an authentic laboured breathing Vader sound effect. Then the face plate which locks in place with magnets and is adjusted with elasticated head straps. This stage can be a little tricky to lock in place and again to separate when removing. Another press of the same activation button plays a familiar Vader sound. Then comes the hood section which locks In place with the aid of magnets. All in all a fantastic collectors piece with great attention to detail
