Hey mods I tried looking for a post regarding this but had no luck. But if it is duplicate I apologize and will appreciate being pointed in the right direction.


The Pros:
Okay, I have looked this costume up on the internet and the costume was supposedly cast from the original suit and is certified by LucasFilm. This is also supposedly the costume that was used in the British Orange commercials. I haven't been able to see it in person yet but one of my friends did and they thought it was really well done.

The Cons:

The place where my friend looked said it was $800 and I have seen it online for $800-$1k. I realize a good Darth costume would probably come close to that if you made it yourself, but the difference is you can buy them piece by piece and allowing you to make smaller purchases over a period of time.

The most major con is of course the manufacturer: RUBIES. Most of us know their costumes usually aren't worth the cost of the fabric they are made from.

So what do you all think?

PS~I didn't point to any links because if you do a google search for "Darth Vader Supreme Costume" you will get plenty of hits and I wasn't sure if we could link to this or not since for once this is an Officially Licensed costume.
Go to amazon I am thinking about buying it too. it costs 400 dollars there.

DarthBane,


Do you realize that first post is over 4 years old? If you are serious about owning a high quality Vader outfit, you'll stay away from the Rubies Supreme.

as a owner of a supreme vader i can attest to what seduced said, for a party costume, its ok, but anything more than that, youll end up doin what everyone else including myself has done, buy quality replacement parts and build your costume from ground up.

pricey, hell yeah it costs a ton of cash, i got 5K at LEAST into mine. but if ya want something that you can survive wearing and looks the way it should you pretty much have to bite it and pay the cash for good stuff.

they dont do anything for sound, you replace the stock blade and blade holder with ametal one, the old blade is tossed, and you use a 1" poly C thick walled blade with a diffuser, its removeable, so sdaber is a belt hanger and fully functional hard core dueler sabwer when blade is inserted.

brighter? hell yeah, like ten times brighter than stock, with NO leds in the blade anymore.
