.45 SCALE RALPH McQUARRIE CONCEPT DARTH VADER HELMET
To Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Star Wars, WonderGarage has created a .45 scale Ralph McQuarrie Concept Darth Vader mini helmet that I'm sure will please many McQuarrie collectors. When displayed by their side, the helmet adds significant visual impact to the McQuarrie mini busts Gentle Giant has been offering, as well as the Sideshow Collectibles McQuarrie concept series statues.
Designed to look like a bust, the helmet has been given a bronze/copper/metallic finish that makes its lines and detailing stand out rather well. While some minute details are not present, for the most part it is a great looking piece, destined to be a very rare one as well.
The helmet is set on a heavy, polished, black granite square base. There's an engraved description plaque attached to the front of the base, and another smaller plaque on the back showing the edition size and the number of the sample you have received. This is a very limited worldwide edition of only 40 pieces, and a unique opportunity to get a McQuarrie Darth Vader helmet in this scale. The helmet comes with a large, nicely rendered COA, showing the number of your sample, and adds a few words honoring the great artist.
Maybe one day Gentle Giant will decide to offer helmets in this scale. For years, after getting the molds from Master Replicas and holding the license to produce them, they have gone comatose with it, despite online petitions and polls to produce them.
