While collectors were able to view the prototype in person at Celebration V, eFX Collectibles didn't open the pre-order for their A New Hope Darth Vader helmet replica until April 2011. There were two versions of the helmet offered. The Limited edition, which was a idealized version of the helmet with a production run limited to 1,000 pieces, and the incredibly screen accurate Legend Edition which perfectly reproduced every brush stroke on the actual prop. Initially, the Legend Edition was to be limited to only 250 pieces, but due to overwhelming response from collectors, eFX chose to extend the production run to the actual number of Legend Editions ordered. In the end the production run for this version was set at 364 pieces. THe Legend Edition helmet began shipping in June, 2012.
As a bonus for going over the original edition size of 250 collectors also received a Acme limited edition Vader print and is included in the auction
