Beginning Monday, Feb. 8, eFX be offering fans a unique Star Wars item: Ralph McQuarrie Signature Edition Darth Vader Concept Helmet.

It' a 3-D version of Darth Vader as he's never been seen on screen, as this extraordinary helmet brings to reality what until now has existed only in the production illustrations created by McQuarrie during the development of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. Only 250 of these detailed helmets - which can be separated into three pieces - will be produced worldwide.

Affectionately dubbed "McVader" by developers at eFX, the helmet was created from one of those original concept sketches - chosen by McQuarrie - and brought to life by digital sculptor Jay Kushwara exclusively for eFX.

Pre-orders for the Darth Vader Concept Helmet will begin at 9 am Pacific time (12 p.m. Eastern) on Monday, Feb. 8 at efxcollectibles.com. The retail price for the helmet is $899, plus shipping and handling, and a non-refundable deposit of $250 will be required at the time of pre-order. The balance will be due when the Darth Vader Concept Helmet is ready to ship, which is estimated to be in late May.

Due to the extremely limited worldwide edition size of 250 pieces, eFX will limit orders to two helmets during the first 48 hours of availability.
