The detailing is quite remarkable, these models are made up from over 50 individual parts and most of them are made from die-cast metal, the entire assembly seperates into three main parts - Below Pictures...

Here you can see the Vocoder voice synthesiser, this is not to be confused with the breathing lung that can be continuously heard whenever Vader appeared in the movie!, also see the rear neck piece, very detailed and internally lined with foam - Below Pictures...

Here you can see the sensors and the mouth grill very clearly, there were 2 sets of grill used in the movies, in ANH Dave Prowse had to wear a third layer of black material due to the fact that you could see his mouth through the grills! - Below Pictures...

The entire assembly comes with a certificate of authenticity, signed by Lucasfilm and this fantastic blue-print of the entire helmet, highlighting each part and giving full reference to it's use. These helmets also have the (ESB & ROTJ) correct paint scheme, although the grey is very dark, you almost can't see it!  - Below Picture...
