Trying out the Vader armor for a change. Still prefer the Stormtrooper armor though. The cape on this thing is heavy and drags along the floor. The chest armor also really restricts movement of the arms. The helmet weights a ton too. Would gladly swap for Boba Fett armor.

Oh - will announce the winner of the giveaway in the morning - just got back and am a bit knackered ^^;

    Storm Trooper unless we could mod a Darth Vader Armor into a samurai like version of suit.

      I heard that Darth Vader's suit was based off samurai design.
      Funnily, Japan's Yoshitoku Company made a modification which holds more samurai design into the suit. It looks very heavy, however - wouldn't really recommend Danny wear a gigantic ton-suit ^^;

    honestly I've always liked the look of generic mass produced armor rather than specialized stuff(GMs over Gundams and Stormtroopers over Darth Vader in this case)

      Actually, I think that red and grey is proper Mandelorian colors. I think the blue was special to Jango. Could be wrong though.

    StormTrooper looks better and I am sure it would be cooler on sunshiny hot summer days. The description you gave of the effects of wearing the Vader suit sounds like it was made to force the wearer into moving and acting like Vader did in the suit (minus the voice thing). He was always encumbered like and while not exactly hesitant to move or turn always did it really slowly. I wonder if the actors suit was so stuff he had to move like that maybe?

    Corrupted by the dark side of the force? Pah! Perhaps you've stumbled upon the real reason why Vader decided to conquer the galaxy: being stuck inside a heavy, stiff, and overheated uniform! I mean, if I was stuck wearing that, I'd probably start to blow up planets in frustration, too xD But at least you get a cool cape!

    Darth Maul would be a pretty good combo of active and dark, but that face... A really good mask, or hours on make up.

    I'd take some Dark Trooper or Imperial Guard armor. The Dark Troopers were from Star Wars: Dark Forces and from the Battlefront games, they had jetpacks and much more armor. The Imperial Guard are the red guardsmen with Force Pikes that you could see protecting the Emperor in Return of the Jedi. The red armor and helmet is just cool.

    I'd go with the Stormtrooper, myself. As cool as it would be to be Vader, the movement restrictions would probably (literally) kill me. I fall down enough without anything restricting me, I can only imagine how bad I would be if something was.

    a good set of boba fett amrour is not easy to come by. it cost a lot to get good weathering. the helmet itself can cost an arm and a limp.

    one of our 2 boba in my garrison researched 5 years to make his own boba armour.

    btw vader boots looks very shiny. ^^;

    Been digging around on the net for armour stuff, whether be Stormtrooper or vader. They're very expensive. I do like to have Boba Fett armour but its hard to come by because majority is self make and buy seperately... on the other hand, Stormtrooper armour is more popular and you can just find one on Ebay!

    Darth Vader outfits look best on tall, well-built people. Smaller Asians like myself wouldn't do the Lord of the Sith justice.

    I voted for Stormtrooper... but I'm just thinking practicalities here... Darth Vader is black, which means it absorbs the sun. So you'll end up hotter than a white Stormtrooper armor.

    Unfortunately I fall into the category of way too tall to be a Trooper. So it either Vader or the rarer imperial guard.

    For me, Vader looks better than trooper but if you have to dance... Trooper is better but it would be very interesting to see if it's possible to dance with the Vader one.

    In summer, I think both would be very hot (maybe the Vader one would be a bit hotter).

    Anyway, great Star Wars suits you have there.

    As much as I like Darth Vader, I'd prefer wearing a Stormtrooper gear. Looks more sexy... and flexible. You could run around in it and you'd still look cool whereas in the Darth Vader suit it wouldn't look so cool... I think.
