Hi Hyperdrivers. The code I used in this video was a single use code that I received from a friend of mine. I found out he got it from signing up to the Jazwares Newsletter, Jazwares Vault, and allow text messages. I just did and received a 15% discount code: NEWBIE15. Hope this helps those of you looking to get a discount on this costume. MTFBWY!
If it were me, I'd just try to acquire a mannequin and put the costume on it, pose it, and have a life-sized Darth Vader in the room. The costume is amazing!
As someone who used to troop as Vader for the 501st that looks pretty good. Far better than the Rubies Supreme. Just the thinness of the shoulder armour that let's it down. But you can pick up pretty good fiberglass sets for not that much. I even like the way they've replicated the Aglok chain. That's a nice touch. Best advice get some 8mm U track rubber trim and place it on the bottom edge of the shins. That way, you won't destroy whatever boots you decide to wear with the costume. I went through two pairs of boots before I realised that adding rubber trim at the bottom of the shin would stop the shins tearing through my boots.
yes the shoulder armor feels kinda thin but still looks pretty good up close my issue, which is not an issue but I would like the armor to be a little bit heavier to balance out the cape since the cape is doubled lined and has 2 types of cloth for inside and out it gets pretty heavy meanwhile the armor is thin and light which makes it weird but not bad
I'm a 501st Vader (ANH *and* ROTS). I also own a Rubies Supreme. I think Jaz did a great job. It's now the best licensed version of Vader, in my opinion. In comparison, a 501st Vader suit will cost at least $3500 and take as many as 2 years to complete. For the Jaz, i wish they had given a 3\4 circle cape. You won't get 501st approved in the Jaz, but so what? It's an amazing costume for the price. Congrats on getting it!
Thank you so much for that information. I’m going to try again to get approved for the 501st in my Mandalorian costume. I appreciate what your group does for the community. Keep up the good work!
As a 501st vader, my opinion is that for the price it's good. You could swap out the belt and cod piece for a more accurate look. Overall decent though
I don't see this being able to stand side by side with 501st grade...ever. 501st has this stuff on lock down and ive yet to see anything short of 4-5k investment that stacks up.
I'd like to see a short video about the suit once it's all dialed in. Let us know what you did to make it look the way you're wanting. There's been a lot of 'first looks' at this suit, but no one has really showcased how good it can look.
Just a few questions: 1) Is it bulletproof, and if so, to what grade? 2) How powerful is the communications hardware in the suit? 3) Can it make you run faster? 4) What depth does it remain waterproof? 5) How does the medication delivery hardware work, and where do the syringes go? 6) Does it come with a laser blaster, and if so, what wattage? 7) What angle of attack does it deflect a light sabre? 8) Is it helpful in a fist fight? 9) What's the maximum number of assailants you could comfortably despatch while wearing the suit? 10) Can you go to the toilet while wearing it, or is there some kind of receptacle within the suit that can take your wee wee for later disposal? 11) What kind of water filtration device does it have? 12) Can it make you fly? Thanks.
I appreciate your review! I have been debating on buying this for months but because you can’t return it, I wanted to wait for a few reviews first! I’m sold after watching your video! Just ordered a large and right now, everything on their site is 30% off for Black Friday. Not as good as the 40% discount that you had but that discount probably only happens randomly once a year if that so 30% is the next best thing! Thanks again! MTFBWY!
I'm 5'11'' and have a broader chest and shoulders from being a gym rat. Think the Large will fit me? I wear a Large t-shirt size and sometimes even medium shirts
@ I think you could pull it off but they have a measurement size on their website. I know the waist may be too big for me but again, adjustments could be made.
This is perfect for serious conversations Just sit there with that breathing. All menacing and all. I can sense some trouble on your mind Kooooch chuuuu
Man that is awesome! I’m saving up right now! I’m sold!! I will be a hit at my job next year on Halloween! Great review! I’m 6-4 so it should fit okay? I want to get some boots to match…any ideas on where to get them?
one very awesome thing all together, bro. one issue i seen with it is you mentioned the lower area has a zipper for you to go number one. but, what happens if you need to go number two ? will you have to take apart the whole suit in order to do so ? also, i think the voice changer vader helmet would work better with it, if you want to sound like vader more. also it seems you will either need a lot of help to do it all or two different mirrors. either way, the suit looks neat on ya. congrats. also,. Happy Birthday. take care, god bless to you and your family and have a nice thanksgiving.
Just got the Jazwares Darth Vader helmet and I love it. This whole suit that you got is amazing! Question for you. I would like to wall mount the helmet but am not sure what bracket to get that would hold it seems it is huge. Any suggestions?
@@KevinKnisell Congrats on getting the helmet. Thanks for checking out my video. I made another video on this channel about wall mounting helmets. Check it out. I use a motorcycle helmet holder to do it
I would love to get this as I'm 6ft 3" naturally, but i'm quite a slim build....so don't know if i could pull off the look. Amazing looking costume though!
I got the same suit. I’m 6,2 slim-ish at 190lbs. An XL fits perfect! Definitely worth buying because you aren’t getting anything cheaper than that with such good quality. I spent only maybe 50$ on stuff to adjust the cape and shoulder armor pieces to sit more sturdy.
What happens to all the stuff in your collection when you die? Does it just become a whole lot of headache for whoever gets to deal with so much stuff? Everything about that getup screams cheap.
@@dallionaire8947 I would say comparable to Hasbro. But it’s not lined and there is no padding. Just straps to tighten around your head and a soft foam for your nose. I’m Not a fan of the plastic clips that lock the two pieces though.
@ I did buy it directly from Jazwares. A friend of mine signed up for one of those sites that offers coupons and this came in randomly about 2 weeks ago. It was a one time code though.
@@myLocoson For Empire Vader the inner robe lines up with the thinner outer black stripe on the shoulder armor. At the bottom it goes to the inside edge of the belt boxes, forming a slight "V"
Thank u for that Video! Nicely done and very informative. Hmmmm....for the Price u got the Suit i thinks its exzelent! My biggest Fear would be checking this Suitcase in at an Airport! The embossed Vader is a Big giveaway for whats inside! i would have preferet a more "discret" one! Next is how well the faux Leather holds up over Time. Over all the biggest Pro is that u have a Whole Suit for a 1 Time buy. But if u have to Spent the 1000 Dollar for that, i would spent that 500+ more and go for real Leather Options and not those flimsy PLastic. Yes, one would have to seek down individual Parts to get the Suit together, but those would look even better and are more sturdy and last longer. In the End it depends on the índividual Needs.: - (1000 Dollar) If u just need a compleat Suit that looks good and u dont care what it is made of and wear it just once a Year, i say go for it! - (640 Dollar) Thats a NOBRAINER!!!!!!! Go get One!
@ the truth always hurt huh. Yeah it me telling you all to get a life and a job and grow up and stop playing with toys and living in fantasy. Your. F-ing country is being stolen from ya’s while you all play start wars and Disney. 💩
Saw a guy at a Con once that showed up in a theater accurate Vader suit. I was impressed to say the least. The downside however, was that he apparently forgot to bathe before the event because he was excreting the most horrendous armpit funk you could imagine. I mean the force was strong with this one. Caught a whiff as he confidently strode by, enough to trigger the gag reflex. The stench was unbearable, like Chewbacca after exiting the garbage compactor with his fur all matted down with feces and filth, but worse. Holy hell man. Basically what I'm getting at with this is to not neglect the importance of a good shower before you suit up. I think we've all had an experience with a smelly cosplayer at some point or another.
Wish I had it to give out. I found out that you need to sign up for the Jazwares Newsletter and their Vault which the sends you text messages. You will immediately get a 15% coupon. My friend said the 40% code just randomly showed up for him.

The PRIMALUX #JWC4409-L model version is in another galaxy of better for 1k in comparison
Not gonna lie my guy, 640$ for a complete Vader costume that looks this good is one HELL of a deal. Looks great man!

@@bgiglio1 yes this would make a great costume
The best way to store it is to display it. 👍
I bought the 7ft animatronic Vader for $400 from Home Depot. I love it.

That's WAY better than Rubies, which I had. This would be great as a statue for sure!
@@jedifyfe absolutely! I’ve already been looking at some mannequins to display it
Been waiting for this video!!! I’m impressed how nice the helmet looks!
@@Nerd_Squadron yea man! It’s a lot better than I expected
This suit would partner up great with a Neopixel lightsaber 😎
A mannequin set up, and for that price you have an epic display! You can slip on some pearls and you’re ready for formal wear too
That's awesome 😮😮 great video 👍😎
This is perfect for serious conversations

Worth the 650 for sure.
@@Hazard2005 it’s worth the 1000 to be honest
Awesome. At 5’8” and 160 I’m not sure a large would fit me to pull of Vader’s presence!
The taller the better for Vader the suit will add some height but only a few inches. I'm 6'5" and have trooped as Vader for years.
@ yeah with the helmet size as well, a shorter than 6’ frame is think, makes it look like dark helmet!
@@joshbaker4649 too true - may the schwarz be with you.
That is surprisingly nice! Much better than the rubies.

That was a great investment. That looks like Vader. I would pass that on to my kids. But yeah it really looks great and I know it was worth the money
I would love to get this, but I’m a small person and I don’t think the large would fit me well
It's a nice ESB Style Vader for the price, biggest issue is the cape should come over the shoulders much more!
Too cool. I'm glad you scored it. I've spent that much on Forge World resin and gotten less imo. 👍🙂
There's something about us blokes that either want to be Darth Vader or a Cyberman. And why not!
That looks superb!! ❤
@@Agui007 lol. Exactly!! Thanks!
@HyperdriveStarWars Use for conventions and hopefully you can earn from it 👍🏼😁
Cool! That’s a good buy! I’ve spent more than that on Blade Runner Deckard Blaster!
How tall are ya boss? I’ve seen some people put this on and the helmet looks oversized, but on you it’s perfect here. Thanks!

@@AstrayNova I agree! It’s worth it even without the discount
