The Empire Strikes Back Chest Armor

Handcrafted by Shadow FX Studios

"I remember seeing Vader for the first time in Empire...
Just standing there — silent, commanding, the stars stretched behind him.
He didn’t need to move.
He already owned the moment."

This armor isn’t just glossy.
It’s power.
It’s the memory of a figure so unstoppable, the galaxy bent before him.

At Shadow FX Studios, each Empire Strikes Back Chest Armor is carefully handcrafted from fiberglass, lineaged directly to the original production molds.
Layered with a flawless base coat, sealed under a deep, gleaming 2K clear coat, it captures the perfect on-screen look — bold, cold, and utterly commanding.

Not weathered. Not battered.
Just... undeniable.

When you hold it, it’s like standing on the bridge of a Star Destroyer yourself —
feeling that same quiet, terrifying gravity Vader carried without a word.

Highlights:

— Direct lineage to original production molds
— Fiberglass construction: strong, lightweight, authentic

"Every clear coat I lay down...
I think about that frozen moment —
Vader standing still, but somehow louder than the entire fleet behind him."
