Darth Vader was the first iconic character to appear in the Star Wars film and television series.
At the beginning of 1977's Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, imperial stormtroopers dressed in white armor and skull-like helmets (it's hard to imagine that these empire's elite forces later became synonymous with defeat) stormed the rebel ships.
Slowly followed was the tall and terrifying Black Lord Darth Vader, who looked more like a robot, accompanied by desperate breathing sounds.
Vader is then cast as a demon leader who uses powerful, magical Force to reign terror.
No matter how Lucas later added drama to him, making him Luke and Leia's father, making him the "Son of the Force", and using three pre-shows to describe how Anakin Skywalker fell das Vader, he has become the most iconic image in the Star Wars world.
Lego has also been selling various Vader-related derivatives after the launch of the Star Wars series, including various classic scenes, sets of related vehicles, and in 2019, it launched Darth Vader's bust set.
The "Helmet" series, which has been on sale since 2020 and has gained a lot of popularity, is obviously only a matter of time before Vader joins it.
Sure enough, the fourth lego star wars helmet set is the 75304 Darth Vader Helmet.
The set, which has 834 bricks and costs $69.99, is built from Vinda's helmet and a base that includes a printed nameplate.
The construction process starts from the base, and there is a feeling of growing a head from the bottom up. The 75305 Scout helmet launched in the same batch is half a head and then put on the base, and the difference in design is also interesting.
The various curves and beveled lines of the face are enough to highlight Lego's design ability. The border of the triangle mouth and the round stick line under the cheeks on both sides show that the official has always been able to control the special construction.
The downward protrusion of the lower eyelid part of the arc is even more inverted.
The interior of the Darth Vader helmet is basically solid, so its more than 800 bricks are also the largest amount of bricks in the same series.
However, the final product will be a bit confusing at first glance. Originally, from the base up to the brow bone position, it was handled very smoothly, and even in order to ensure a uniform style, stickers were used in the position of the mouth respirator.
But why is it that the entire vader helmet is surrounded by the top of the head, the lower sides and the rear, all of which are granularized?
In fact, this series is designed in this way, and the important features are handled by the now popular smooth tie method.
The part of the helmet that is more holistic and single-line, but uses a large number of grain effects to express. After all, lego is still difficult to fully match the appearance of the statue works, it is better to enlarge its own characteristics to highlight the characteristics of Lego, but also to control the cost.
Thinking about this clearly, looking back at the finished product, you will feel that it looks very good. Nameplates can be used in printed parts, which is better than the UCS series.
But getting closer to feel the horrific gaze of the Black Lord, imagining the pressure of the Force locking the throat, will still feel that the particle helmet is a pity.
At this time, be sure to take out Darth Vader's figure to cooperate with the soothing, emphasizing that it is a Lego suit, which is much better.
Look at this family, is it not harmonious?
