- Darth Vader from Portugal: Dressing up my Darth Vader Episode 3 costume... Quite a complicated and elaborate task, I'm afraid.
Available for apearences in thematic events.
F.A.Q:
Q: How tall are you?
A: I'm 1,76m which is about 5ft9.
Q: Aren't you a little short to impersonate Vader?
A: The actor who played Vader in the Original Trilogy was around 2m tall. Most people are not that tall... Not even the actor who played Vader in Episode III ROTS. However Christopher Reeve who played Superman was also more than 1,90m tall and I don't see anyone wondering whether someone needs to be that tall to dress as Superman. The answer is no! No one is to short to impersonate Vader, but the Armors manufacturers haven't so far made a resized version of Vader's armor. Available armors are the same size of the armor of the movies. This makes them look weird on anyone shorter than 2m tall.
Q: Is this the "Supreme Edition" Darth Vader costume?
A: No it is not!.. The Supreme Edition is a mass produced costume, made in factories. The materials of the "Supreme Edition" are cheaper and not movie accurate. This costume is a movie replica in true Argentinian leather and Fiberglass. The "Supreme Edition" is in plastic and faux-leather. The "Supreme Edition" costs around $750. This one cost around $3000 and was purchased from several different private props makers. True movie replicas artists.
Q: How much did your costume cost?
A: Around $3000 which includes the voice changer (not the voice changer in this video, the one in other videos I have).
Q: Are you a 501st Legion Member?
A: Yes, my ID is SL-9151, but I decided to change my status to "Inactive", since like any other big organization, the internal politics and intrigues inside the 501st Legion are really starting to smell bad, and not worth wasting one's time. Reminds of why I also had to resign from Environmental organizations in the past. when you spend more time arguing about internal intrigue, than working for the organization's original purpose... It's time to leave. - บันเทิง
dude still looks bad ass without the helmet and extremely large shoulder piece
i like this helmet a lot! i don't know about the voice changer but the shape is perfect, i mean the eyes aren't too flat, the mouth part is not bulky at all, just perfect!!
I though the shoulder armour looked a bit big at first, but once he had the cape on, it the costume looks legit
Yeah, it does look better on taller people. But the shoulders are important because they are proportionate to the helmet.
Not really: I've explained... This is the same size of the movie. But since I'm not the same size of David Prowse, it looks bigger in me. Actually, a simple proof of what I'm saying is that if you look carefully and compare the mask with the shoulder armor, you'll notice they have exactly the same size ratio between them, as in Episode 3. You'll see that all the hard parts are slightly too big for me. Otherwise it's a great costume.
At 2:15 you almost look like kylo ran
I'm prettier.
+mikungfu could you tell me where I can find that mask and also if I wanted to get a outfit just like this with everything could you point me in the direction
That what I said
*ren
Ebay search
Props to you for getting that entire thing on by yourself.
You can say that again!.. Thanks!
The hard parts (helmet, armor, etc...) are perfect for your size. The Leather suit and the cape, you'd have to order them tailored to your measures.
Great costume, love it
Wow, interesting. I had no idea the boot soles were so thick, but then again the character is actually about 6'8" or 2 meters tall according to the book.
The shoulder piece is a bit too big. The cape is supposed to hang forward of the shoulders to almost cover him. Please don't take this the wrong way, but Darth Vader is really supposed to be played by someone over 1.83 meters (6') tall just because of how big the shoulder piece and helmet look.
Sad in a way about how many little kids love Darth Vader. The character was a brutal killer.
Voice doesn't sound like the real dearth vader
Ok. Very awesome! Thanx for answering my questions.
VERY nice vader outfit btw! :)
Excellent! Very instructive.
This is cool af
everything goes well till those shoulders... 2 big 4 ya
Very true!.. :)
old but gold, when i was like 9 years old i watched this like once a week hahaha. awesome video
Gold is old because it was produced in stars when they exploded as supernovae, a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
Glad to know that kids grew watching this video of mine!.. As silly as it may be, lol...
It´s amazing! really amazing.
Just check ebay for Vader Armor, Vader Helmet, Vader Costume, etc... And choose "higher price first" if you're looking for a costume of this build quality. This is a $3000 costume in the whole. It's fiberglass and true Argentinian leather. There are also expensive electronics for the voice changer (not this one but the one in my other video).
If you want a cheaper (lower quality) version for around $700 USD, search ebay for "Supreme Vader" or "Vader Rubies".
This is all the info you need.
arnt you a little short for a storm vader?
LOL Yes, a bit... But I'm tall enough for a Darth Trooper, though.
+mikungfu lol .....smart
+mikungfu im curious, how tall are you? Im going to buy the rubies deluxe, but i am 6ft
+Improvu You're choice Please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q) on the description text of this video, for further info. Thanks!
Also replied in the FAQ of the video description.
That was awesome.
absolutely cool as hell!!!!
I want the suit and the Vader's Lightsaber!!!

Sorry but although this is Christmas time, this is not SantaClaus youtube channel.
mikungfu I know
;)
the pauldron looks a little over-sized but its the sickest costume ive seen of darth vader! amazing! propss
Thanks!
Thank you very much for the response, at least now I have an idea that it really is going to be that expensive. Well the best thing is were going to own one and that's for keeps. Once again, great video and many thanks.
thank you very much man.
love ur costume :)
"Hello people! My name is Miguel Queiroz, the Darth Vader from Portugal."
Olá Carlos, esta fantasia foi comprada a uma séria de diferentes fabricantes particulares de réplicas de filmes de Hollywood. Um da Noruega, outro dos EUA e outro da Argentina. Isto não é um fato como o da Rubies "Supreme Edition"... Esse é em plástico e napa. Este é em fibra de vidro e pele genuina... O q faz dele uma réplica quase perfeita do Episode 3.
A modulação de voz foi adquirida à parte também.
Para mais info contacte-me por favor via mensagem.
Um abraço!
Very cool costume
a very good video ! i enjoyed it.
With all that exageration in details on the defects list of my costume, I start wondering if you have wrote to Lucasfilms expressing your disapointment for incompetence like the one displayed everytime a shorter stuntman used the vader costume making the chest box come too close to the shoulder armour, like the scene where Vader chops Luke's hands off... Also have you told Hayden Christensen how much he needs to work out before he looks like David Prowse?
Whats the exact name of this costume? i want to buy it so bad
Darth Vader Costume/Armor - Ep. III ROTS Version
Good vid mate. :)
I've seen it. Looks great! Very nice costume you have too!! Cheers!
this man has chosen the darkside :)
Indeed...
Isso! Compre e depois procure se inscrever na Legião 501. Sou o SL-9151 da 501st Legion. É um excelente grupo para ter dar bom e frequente uso à sua armadura de Vader!
Abraço amigo da Lusitânia! ;)
You really know how to make videos guy I'm from Brazil and I really liked your videos!!
I love it it's awesome thx for the vid
You're welcome, my friend. :)
If you have to buy this in a small size you shouldn't be able to have it.
+Daisy Chain
Excuse me but... I don't understand your sentence.
Way to skinny...
Wow, that's amazing ! You are very lucky to have such a suit ! Congratulations !
Awesome Darth Vader is my favorite character on starwars great costume man
Dude. Leave him alone, this video kicked ass.
Awesome!
Very nice!
That was awesome
Thanks!
Love it,just got myself a Stormtrooper armour,this might be next.
THAT IS SOOOO COOL!!!!
Many people do. I got mine at a time when very few people had one, back in 2005. But ever since the 501st Legion became so popular (I'm a member myself), more and more people are eager to get these.
Sweet, nice to meet you too! SL-4339! Yeah that helm looks to be an original Porty, but it does the job for now, certainly not a bad helmet! Those MR ones are slick, though. As for the box, I'm not knowledgable on ROTS box makers, only ESB.
very nice , you are the real one .
what a cool costume !!!! i want it
Thanks. Go get it!...
HOLY...FUCKING..SHIT!!!!!!! GOOSEBUMPS!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!
+Elemential's Music Page Thanks, eheheh... ;)
Impressive... Most impressive.
nice costume, looks great on, i thought the shoulder armor was a bit big at first, but with the cape on its not that bad
great job
Those are some seriously good boots you have there....
How much do you offer?
Well... You are so right, I even have a hard time talking about it. It was quite excentric of me to buy it but I've enjoyed the costume a lot on several ocasions and it was rewarding in the end. I already had to sell the shoulder plate, the shin guards, the belt and the light box... But I'll re-buy them soon and this time I'll search all around for smaller sized versions.
Very nice.
For Darth Vader, you could try our pro app (real-time voice - with some latency - since Android has some audio latency) -

For casual use, our Darth Vader Voice Changer app - on Google Play - for Kylo Ren, our Space Villain Voice Changer.
Thanks for the tip, although I opted for a Vortex Voice changer more recently. In my other videos you can see it.
You'r right, it would be cool to have that suit. Even if I would never wear it.
Great costume! Although expensive, next on your list should be the MR Vader helmet.
I noticed the huge platform vader boots as well, nice touch.
And actually, if I remember right Hayden was never in a vader suit. I think got someone else for the final shot of Vader screaming "NOOOOOOOOO"
And then when they're on the star destroyer Vader towers over the emperor haha
Boas Miguel. Grande fato!
I'm sure that's the most coherent comment that came to your mind as you dribbled on such outstanding Vader armor replica.
Thanks!.. That was the idea!
Cool video
its so cool to be a star wars fan
Thanks!
Thanks! :)
Honestly, it was the fact how towering Darth Vader was that made him so iconic and frightening.
Making him tall instantly gave him a sense of power and thus was feared in the films. Needless to ay he scared the shit out of me when i was little
This is fiberglass + true leather!.. Much more expensive materials than the suprmeme edition and a lot closer to the real thing from the movies.
Valeu pela sugestão! :-D
WOW, this video still keep flaming, loool
Nice job Miku.
Even weirder...sticking around to watch it and comment.
Good Darth Vader
I see... I never noticed Boba Fett appeared in Episode 2, in person. I had just noticed him in episodes IV to VI, where he is always under armor. Thanks for explaining.
hello I wanted to know where u bought I'm from Brazil and wanted to where u have bought site or you tell me the price if you want to sell
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL WHEN I SEE THIS VIDEO YOU LIKE REAL VADER! OMG
Foi um prazer divulgar! Abraço! :)
Where did you have buy your boots ? and what kind of boots it is please ?
True... That's why it has a couple of small fans inside the helmet... to avoid blurring the lenses.
thats pretty intense
the boots made me laugh and the shouldersdid too. o_O
Yes it is. There used to be a reduced version but, now it's hard to find because the manufacturer isn't around much.
@joeyvader: Very interesting! Congratulations on your handcrafted Yoda! :)
I hope you'll be able to get a good Vader Costume one of these days!!
Couldn't agree more...
heh been lookin at these costumes for a bit to use for both halloween fun for the kids and anything else that may pop up (little scare here and there cause its good fun for everyone) but the closest i could find is nearly 1000$ for a full suit like this an i lack the measurements of a good vader, 6'2 but super skinny
haha thanks a lot man. im definitely getting this.
SENSACIONAL !! muito bom !! Parabéns !! Por favor, qual o tecido da parte de couro ? Parece ser bem flexivel. Obrigado, abraços !!
Obrigado! O tecido da parte de couro, não é tecido, é cabedal argentino.
all of this just to go and make breakfast!!! nice!!!
Unlike the supreme Edition costume, that comes with hindges, all these fan made fiberglass replicas of the shoulder/chest armor, come with the shoulder caps in separate pieces from the chest piece. There for you can create your own hindge system, and articulate it the way you want.
nice man!
Glad you liked it. Thanks!
Oh... And congratulations on your 501 application. I am also awaiting approval to be on the 501's Portuguese Lusitanian Outpost. Just applied a couple of weeks ago. :)
Yay Darth Vader!!!!!
Nice
@STARSMemberX : Yes, my helmet is from Portumac and X_T_R_M! And so is my shoulder armor and all my hard parts... Except the lightbox... I changed it for the Rubies (can you believe it?) I liked it more! :)
How does the MR helmet compare to Portumac's in size??.. I always wondered which one is smaller....
I'm 1m77 so we're almost the same height. But my hair volume and shape makes my head look big. Also my torso and arms are long compared to my legs. This makes me look shorter, eheheh....
I find the helmet a bit big on this one. I picked up the Rubies standard one (which isn't as good quality), but its a whole bunch smaller. Makes it look a bit more to scale.
The original actor was a huge guy, and this mask is 1:1 scale to the one he wore.
Awesome suit, though. I love it. I just ordered one too. :)
Well, yes... Inside the helmet in particular. Fortunately I use it mainly in October and February, when it's considerably cold. The body also sweats a bit because I always wear a lycra undersuit precisely to protect the leather a bit from my sweat. I have a fan inside the helmet that prevents it from fogging the lenses.
This is what Vader has to go through every morning? Daamn.
i guess this is how darth vader puts on his suit every morning
I have been looking for a datrth vader costume like yours.... Because when you use the voice adapter it sounds like him...what costume did you order???
+Ora Jackson I keep saying this: Read the video description.
Shortest Darth Vader ever. Nice costume :D
+DJ MoFLY Not true. I'm 5ft9 and I've seen way shorter vaders out there. Including the stunt guy who actually plays Vader is the so famous "I am your father" scene. Check that video from ESB and you'll see how off scale the armor looks. A way to see that is the distance between Chest armor/chest box/belt. You'll see in that guy that they are so close to each other, they overlap.
