The costume features over 16 pieces including – light up chest piece, light up leather belt with injection molded buckle, oversized Supreme Edition mask and helmet cast from the original Lucas Studios molds, mask includes Darth Vader breathing devices inside, jumpsuit with quilted faux leather pants and sleeves, outer cape, inner cape, shin guards, heavy duty injection molded armor pieces, gloves with gauntlets, collar armor, shoulder guards, boot tops, chest piece, cape, felt.
Just think of how much fun you can have in this. Wear it when you’re putting the kids to bed – and give them the thrill of a lifetime. For only $679 you can be the envy of all the Dads in the neighborhood as your proudly escort the kids trick or treating. Note: Light Saber and Death Star sold separately.
Here’s another image of the Darth Vader costume. Note that the light saber is included for illustration purposes only and is not included in the costume.

I’ve seen similar full scale models at Mohegan Sun Casino being sold for a few thousand dollars — so when you think about it $679 is not that much money….at least that’s what you tell your wife when she asks about the charge on your credit card.

Ok, I am a geek, and right now at our local Museum of the Rockies we have an original vader costume from the movies (along with many other cool costumes). If I had a couple of extra “economic stimulus checks” laying around I would get this and be Vader for Halloween every year from now until the end.
One word.

I’m pretty sure that Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncaville has a lifelike model that looks like this that sells for about $5k.
