Darth Vader Touring Costume
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
It is a period of excitement as the galaxy's most feared villain prepares for his latest appearance. Darth Vader, dark lord of the Sith, looms once more, as a rare artifact emerges from the shadows. This legendary costume, originally commissioned by Lucasfilm in the U.K. circa 1980, was created for a galaxy-spanning promotional tour. Forged by the renowned N.J. Farmer Associates, this fearsome suit stands at an imposing 7 feet when fully assembled, its ominous presence echoing across time. The components are as formidable as the Sith Lord himself: a menacing two-piece mask and helmet, chest and shoulder armor, a control box of unrelenting power, a flowing cape, and boots worthy of an Empire's enforcer. From gloves to greaves, each piece a part of history, some possibly later additions, but the legend endures. This rare and iconic suit, made for the promotion of The Empire Strikes Back, is accompanied by a towering mannequin, prepared to strike fear once again into the hearts of rebels. Now, the saga continues as this monumental artifact goes to auction on November 15. Estimated at $50,000-$100,000, this is your chance to take home a piece of the dark side, where the Force is strong, and the legacy of Darth Vader lives on.
