The only life size Vader available for purchase is Sideshow's, which in my opinion, is not very good.
Sideshow was working on amazing life size Vader about 10 years ago with Gino Sabatino from the RPF. That one was scrapped for some reason. Probably cost as Gino wanted to make it using authentic materials.
My build is an Empire Strikes Back costume and my goal is to try and get as screen accurate as possible. When building the mannequin, I used the same measurements that ILM took of Prowse when they produced his costume.
Sideshow made a mish mash Vader of costume elements from the original trilogy. For the casual observer it looks like a Vader costume, but to those in the know, it's just a VSO(Vader shaped object).
