Looks and sounds great. Couldn't be happier with it.

I was surprised by this, after reading some reviews that said the sound was terrible. Everyone can tell what I'm saying when I use the voice modifier mode. I get tons of compliments and even scared a couple people, haha, in a good way. I would love a full helmet model, but that would be more difficult to put on and take off and probably have to be in at least two pieces. This is very easy to use put on and off. The recorded sounds are very good with every other push of the button giving you just the breathing sound. Batteries seem to last a long time too. I think it's well enough made though I wouldn't trust it to survive dropping it or any rough play. I was very surprised at how well I can see out the lenses while it being very much dark enough that no one can see in through them. The lenses are perfect and they don't fog up, or at least didn't for me and I live in a humid climate. People are very surprised, when they see it from the front, that it's not a full over the head helmet. They are also surprised that it didn't cost a lot more. I am very happy with it. I used it for a Halloween costume, but I hope to find more opportunities to wear it, maybe when I go see TROS. :)

It is pretty large looking for a child but the straps on the inside allow for a small head. The result is that your little kid looks like Dark Helmet from Spaceballs. I'm not sure who gets more enjoyment out of this mask, me or my son.

The voice changer works pretty well and its got recorded Vader lines also. The only thing I don't like is that it has a demo setting that gives you an instruction on how to use the voice changer every time before using. With young kids you are going to end up either listening to the same annoying message repeatedly or have to keep making sure they put it back on the normal setting.

Used Mask resold as New

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2022

Got this for my husband’s costume because reviews had said the mask that came with the outfit was not great. The mask came in a sealed bag and looked great. Went to wear it this past weekend for our Halloween camping trip and when my husband opened cage spot for batteries we found three corroded batteries already inside and the mask did not work. Luckily we had the other mask that went with the outfit.
While this was past the return date, we should get a full refund due to the company’s deceit. It was obviously returned to them and they never checked or tried to play it off as brand new.

So it fits exactly with the adjustable harness. The only issue is It doesn't truly sound like Darth Vader. The buttons and everything does work, the already set phrases of course does. However when you speak in it it doesn't really sound like Darth Vader to me...

I needed this for a classroom activity I was doing. It fits an adult face or older child (10 yr old) really well. Coolest part? If you press a button on the side, it says classic Vader lines from the movies. My 8th graders loved the trash talk banter that Vader gave them during my lesson. I totally recommend this. It is excellent quality and lots of fun.

A hit with the birthday boy

Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2019

Verified Purchase

We purchased this as a birthday gift for a 5 year old boy. He LOVED it. It worked great. He spoke through it numerous times and we had no problem understanding him or my 4 year old daughter who also tried it out. I did not think it was hard to understand as other reviewers stated. We also liked that there were some pre-recorded phrases. It is a bit heavy but the kids could have cared less. According to his parents, it was his favorite gift.
