Episode 14 - The Dark Side Of Hope

Welcome to Episode 14 - The Dark Side of Hope! In this episode, I’m unboxing a stunning replica of Darth Vader’s helmet from A New Hope, produced by EFX. Join me as I go through the details of this incredible collectible, showing you exactly what’s inside the box and my first impressions.

As a bonus, I’ll also be comparing it to my Don Post Deluxe helmet from The Empire Strikes Back, giving you a unique side-by-side look at how Vader’s iconic helmet evolved between the two movies. From differences in sculpt to finish and construction, we’ll dive deep into what makes each helmet special.
