Dark In Vader

It wouldn't be May Fourth without an appearance by the dark side. First up is my Orange Mobile Phone stand from my first contract mobile, a venerable Nokia 3210 with the Star Wars Episode III deluxe gift pack. The phone sat in the back of Darths helmet and when a text or call came through, the two leds lit up. Still works well today!
Next up, an original Don Post Replica Helmet from 1977. Two parts, the main head and the helmet cowl.
I have to say its not a pleasant experience wearing it, my head is obviously considerably bigger these days and the feeling of claustrophobia in there is not good!

  2. "Don Post! Now there's a name I haven't heard in a long time..."
    Don't worry about the Dark Side having to put in an appearance on May the Fourth, they get a whole day to themselves the following day!
    Happy Revenge of the Fifth!

  3. I got this from a mate in college back in 1978, he bought it in the states and for one reason or another, gave it to me! He had a nice USS Nostromo cap with badge for a while too.
