For those of us deep in the world of Star Wars this is a pretty exciting announcement, especially if you have the kind of bread it takes to buy this amazing item. Back in the day as an unknown George Lucas was trying to shill his largely laughed at Star Wars concept to theaters an artist known as Ralph McQuarrie drew up some breathtaking images that actually helped sell the idea to 20th Century Fox.
Since then books, toys and t-shirts featuring the original McQuarrie concepts for beloved characters have hit the market but today's announcement of a Ralph McQuarrie life size Darth Vader Concept Helmet is the cherry on that sundae. Here are the specs and images of the mask.
