Custom VADER SUIT for SHORTER COSPLAYERS

I love Darth Vader, I am not 6 foot 7 inches tall... but, I can still be Darth Vader with some extra work....
I stand at 5 foot 10 inches tall. In this video I will show you what I did and what I own to try to wear an accurate Vader Cosplay. When its all said and done... I am about 6 foot 4 inches tall in the suit (standing great posture). I still do not hit that 6 foot 7 mark, but it still ads a good chunk of height.

This suit is 100% customized to my body, including the helmet.

Please comment what you think of my suit!

Alright i know my next irresponsible purchase

[animatorandgamer]

You inspiring me buy my own short vader cosplay and walking into a comic con making videos into it ❤

[PrinzKrystof]

I think you carry it all very well, far better than Dark Helmet in Spaceballs!

[BigTee]

Very impressive! I’m 58 years old and the first time i saw Vader was when i was eleven in 1977. I love this! I was going to order the suit from Jazwares but it’s $1k! 😳 i like this set-up!

[Jaytee.]

Dude! Your Vader suit looks absolutely fantastic. Congratulations. 👍

[andrawhitaker]

After seeing your videos throughout social media finally I was able to get all the information towards my Darth Vader costume that I want!! Knowing also that it's better to have one helmet custom-made for you that will actually fit instead of having the bobblehead effect. I did see a website that had the full costume in a roller / travel luggage for only $1, 000 but having a custom suit is worth it and hopefully Lord of a hold I'll be able to save up some money to purchase the suit

Tiny Vaders running around events would be wild 😂

[TheEmpireEssentials]

Looking good!! Empire Essentials FTW! 🙌 🔥🔥

[SimonMc-ux]

- I was looking at purchasing a FULL Darth Vader and I came across your video - granted - you look amazing - I'm 6.3 - and you look fantastic in costume -

[JosiahHarrison-ikon]

I will definitely get a darth Vader suite

[YEAR--RELICS]

Really cool video. Nice to see you talking and spending time with us on camera.

[Scar-Predator]

This is quite helpful for me, an 18 year old with too big goals, an easier idea on how to properly get an as close as I can 501st approved Vader suit, although yours is not the version I want to do, which is his look from my favorite Star Wars film, The Empire Strikes Back.

[Xanderlorian]

Mhmm i have a suit but definitely watching this after work to see what i can do for upgrades

[ralphhdelacruz]

Looks amazing. I’m in the process of making upgrades to my Vader suit. I’ll definitely use your helpful links.

Cool Video and very interesting to watch.
Im a Vader in the 501st but luckily I don’t need to modify my Vader since Im 6’6inches.
In my garrison we are 7 Vaders and the smaller one is 5’11  and the others are 6’ 6’1

We accept smaller vader but they get warned that people might make jokes or tell them they are too small.
I witnessed that situation when someone made fun of the smaller Vader we had I asked the guy where was his vader he shut up up and told me he was sorry

Have fun with your costume

im 5'7 and still want to cosplay vader despite the looks id probably get

[Disappearing-Act]

This feels like what they did with him in the kenobi show mixed with rouge 1

[Oxluke]

This is extremely helpful. Expensive but worth every penny

[kamil.p]

That suit looks stunning!! Can't help but notice that your custom helmet has a tad different shape than your EFX helmet, is it molded to look more like the one in Obi-Wan Kenobi??

[The_Lord_Vader]

that is one awesome short, I personally own the hasbro black series mask and it is SICK. I just really love the attention to detail. Just wondering, where do you get the rest of the cosplay?
