Rubies Star Wars Supreme Edition Adult Darth Vader Costume - Standard | 909877 - 3.4 out of 5 stars from 14 customer reviewsLooks and Sounds Good BUT BEWARE!!
When I saw this type of "Supreme" costume was going to be available, I was excited and ordered the "Standard" size. I looked forward to its arrival. But one thing made me a bit skeptical, the name Rubies was on it. When it finally arrived, my fears became reality! But first let me tell you the good. The cape and robe are outstanding and quality. They both are very long! I am 5'7" 160lbs. So I had to get them both shortend. The chest box and belt are pretty cool and light up to give a great effect. I did have to modify the belt and cheap cod piece to fit tightly on my 30" waist. But after that, it all is downhill!!
The jumpsuit is made of pleather with a thin cotton lining. It is of typical Rubies quality (fair at best). It is not tapered to fit anyones body. The disadvantage of a "one size fits all!" But overall a bit cheap. The gloves (gauntlets) are just as cheesy!! Same material but they do fit pretty good and don't look to bad, but they could have been better. The leg armor...
Not as good as you expect
First let me say the review giving it 1 star is accurate. The mask is terrible, everything said is true. The face is warped to one side and so is the back. Mine appears to not even be finished. The plastic doesn't have a good shiny finish to it, and one side has a stripe in the finish (part is shiny the rest isn't, same all over the front). Absolutely inexcusable for the amount some people are paying. Luckily I have another one that is about 23 years old and in good condition.
The cape is nicer than I expected and the armor is ok. The back to the boot tops is too large and does allow them to fall down, but that can be fixed. There is a problem with the cape pulling the armor up and back, again this can be fixed.
By the way I am 6 feet tall and weigh 185lbs. with a 36 inch waist. The fit is as good as you can expect for a mass produced costume.
Overall I'm disappointed with the purchase. When I spend this much I shouldn't have to "fix" anything at all...
Good, but not Great
This costume is good, but not Great. Like the previous reviewers, I would have been thrilled with this if the price was 200-300 dollars. but for 599 (what I paid on ebay) this thing is a total rip off. I like the costume, and the jumpsuit. the cape and inner cape are perfect. But the helmet is a disaster. Luckily I have another one from years ago to wear. For a off the shelf costume, this thing is awesome. For the price, a ripoff. I needed something in a hurry, so this will do for now. I plan to have the body suit tailored in the future though.
for something mass produced it is an ok item
