Listen up all you galaxy conquering heavy-breathers, now’s your chance to dress just like the Man In Black himself – no, not Johnny Cash – the mean one, Darth Vader. And the best bit is that you don't need the £50,000 someone recently splashed out on Obi-Wan's costume...er, well blanket, really.

Wear your fanboy status proudly with this very high-spec Darth Vader costume, sporting jumpsuit with faux leather trousers and sleeves, a flaring cape based on Lucas Studio’s original patterns, gauntlets, heavy duty injection-moulded armour pieces and a realistic mask and helmet - all cast from the original Lucas Studio moulds, according to the peeps at Firebox.

It will set you back around £430 but there’s even a breathing apparatus to recreate that lovable chain smoker’s wheeze. You’ll have to get your own lightsaber though.

Jump now to see the specs and watch one unlucky model get transformed into an uber-villain, even if he is a foot or so too short.-Martin Lynch
