This is an extremely rare Darth Vader helmet cast that was once offered to the fans. It came off of what is know as the TM, an original production made helmet from ESB. This cast has not seen a run since 2008 and is extremely hard to find. ESB helmets were known to have a neck extension added for casting stability. On some screen helmets the extension was trimmed back to the original neck line. The TM still has it and I opted to keep it on my copy. It's a trait no other helmet version has and is unique to ESB. It helps ties it's lineage to the production of ESB. For ROTJ that extension was dropped all together.
