The Brotherhood of the Sith-Darth Vader Costume

[Thaxos]

Buy a damaged MR saber from Ebay, one where the lights are broken, but everything else functions.

Yeah, then give me the soundboard

also look right here in store to see if Tim has any Vader FX saber blade holders, i did a conversion on one a couple years back.

with hasbro takin up the FX line Tim might start restocking those kits again

you might email him and ask if he plans on it anytime soon.

I'm actually just looking for parts to make the ends of the empty FX hilt look like the unlit hilts did in the films. I think the emitter end of Vaders' had some sort of round coiled spring around the edge, then something else for the center of that area. Plus I need a way to replicate the other end that would fill the hole in the twist off ring after the battery pack and such is removed.

Okay guys, how about this helmet?

I already have lenses and tusks and mouth mesh and padding. So do you guys know anything about this seller and his product?

It looks like an MR recast, the mask looks a little thin for trooping, but you can always pick up some fiberglass resin at Pepboys, or Walmart, and thicken it up.
Decent buy for a "Do it your selfer".

Yeah, I already had that info figured out. I just wanted to get the input of you folks on the seller and any reviews you may have read regarding this recast. It looks really good, but I don't want to have it shipped here to the states and find that it is total crap!

well thats the outfit that sells alot of costumes, my jedi uppers come from that place. i have heard mixed reviews, some are super satified, and some werent. myself, the jedi uppers were really nice, so i was happy with it.

from the looks of it, the lid, that is, it appears to me to be a decent copy, like stated above, just a lil reinforcing with some FG resin and cloth on inside just to beef it up a tad more.

if the price is good, then i would say go for it.
