Ralph McQuarrie Concept
Darth Vader Helmet |
|
|
| We've wanted to show this for some time but understandably
the e-FX guys wanted to "reveal" all at San Diego Comic Con. So with this
now in full swing we're able to show off this cool CG photo of the new RMQ
Concept helmet from e-FX and also direct from SDCC some cool photo's from
Rebelscum and Star Wars Action News of the unpainted
Engineering Prototype. |
|
|
| Having seen and contributed to the evolution of this helmet
over the last few months in CG, its great to see a "real" version of it -
and it does look awesome. Not completely sure at this stage what the production numbers
are likely to be but e-FX has confirmed that there will be an LE version
with a potential 750 run as
well as 250 Ralph McQuarrie Signature Editions. Pricing-wise it sounds from
Shadow like its going to be north of $800 for the LE and obviously
more for the SE. |
|
|
| The CG modelling work was led by Jay Kushwara and e-FX has
based their McQuarrie concept Vader on the one featured on the Ballantine
book below. McQuarrie produced a number of slightly different designs - and
some fan-made versions of the differing Vader designs
can be found here. |
|
|
| Though this is obviously not the final version, it is
shaping up to be a really great looking collectible and one that we'll
certainly be keeping you updated on. Its expected to arrive some time during
2009, we'll be pushing for an early hands-on look as soon as
possible. |
|
|
| More of this as soon as we get it. Again thanks to e-Fx -
along with Rebelscum and Star Wars Action News for the photos. |
