Darth Vader Helmet Art Auction

Remember that amazing Vader/Skeletor mashup bust we showed you? Well “Skevader” along with 24 other authentic replica Darth Vader helmet art pieces are being auctioned off over at HalloweenCostumes.com.

Over the past three months, 24 carefully-selected artists have created original art pieces using authentic replica Darth Vader helmets. In the spirit of the Vader Project by DKE Toys, each artist was given creative freedom to interpret the helmet as he or she saw fit. Currently, helmets are being examined by an internal panel of judges, and top artists will receive cash prizes. Soon, you will have the chance to own one of these great works of art. Each helmet will be available via auction, beginning February 7, 2012.

Proceeds will benefit the Midwest Art Catalyst and the Miracle League of North Mankato.
