Why is this helmet so much more than the Clone Trooper helmets? There's nothing to paint!

Nigel Tufnel: It's like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black.

But Richard, it's from Vader!! How can an ordinary, one in a million fragile trooper compare with Vader?? :)

Yup, it's expensive. And yes, I agree. It should cost less than that. Still deciding If I will get it or not. Buy me, buy me not, buy me, buy me not, buy me...

If we take into consideration they didn't update their site in MONTHS, this soooooo needed answer could be coming well by Christmas! :laugh:
CM need to move their lazy @sses over here and answer our questions. All it takes it's a computer, somebody to type and a phone line. :)
A lot of potential buyers here, don't understimate the buying power of the Statue Forum! :thumbs2:

Maybe even less than that. I'm still waiting to hear what the ES will be. Right now, I have mine ordered through Target.

Why is this helmet so much more than the Clone Trooper helmets?

You need to consider that the Vader Helmet is taken directly from the exact molds used for the helmet worn by HC in the film. It also is manufactured in 3 pieces as opposed to the 1 piece required for the Clone Trooper helms. The interior apparently also has leather and is 100% accurate to the original prop.

Also remember that fan made Vader helms generally cost more than $1,000 and are not nearly as well made as this will be. I actually think the price point on this is on the low end. Granted, $900 is a lot of money when taken in isolation, but it's not that much when you compare it to what else is out there.

The price would be higher if MR decided to make the ES on this low, since I believe this will be an open edition. It actually falls into the Studio Scale category, and MR collector's club members can use the $100 coupon on it bringing the total to $800. I'm not buying one only because I'm concentrating on a select few MR pieces right now (I have the AT-AT SE and 6 Clone Helms in various colors coming).
