About

Being in the FX industry for over 40 years we were the very first to offer a direct lineaged Vader Helmet Being made from the Elstree Studios mold Lineaged and was off an official LF ROTJ Tour helmet... (2001-2003) long before anyone.

 

In late 1977 Baker was commissioned to take molds of the original ANH screen used Darth Vader Helmet. LF needed more copies for tour suits of a Vader tour that was on going from 1977 until around 1980 Baker made some slight modifications to make it easier to pull from the molds without undercuts that can trap and lock a piece into a mold..he also removed the 3m locking tabs ontop of the face plate for easier molding ..this Baker mold was only used for tour Helmets and special displays

Since Elstree film Studios did no longer have the original ANH molds they re-molded the original ANH Helmet that Baker had molded a few years before for the tour Helmets

This time they left the tabs on top of the face as well as other details..this is what we call the Elstree Movie Molds and this mold off the screen used ANH made the Helmets for both Empire Strikes Back as well as Return Of The Jedi.
