A life-size Rubie's Darth Vader replica statue from the promotion of Irvin Kershner's Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Released in 1996 by Rubie's Costume Company as part of a limited edition run of licenced, life-size figures, this statue is numbered 407 of 500. Each statue was hand-crafted by Michael Burnett Studios based on reference from an original costume.

This statue features a gloss black fibreglass helmet and armour components; a resin chest box with internal electronics and red, blue, and silver-colour display components; a belt with a minimally-detailed lightsaber hilt and two plastic boxes inset with green and silver-colour buttons. The other costume elements are made of synthetic fabrics, leather, and foam.

This statue comes displayed on a grey wooden base featuring a plaque engraved with the Empire Strikes Back logo. It exhibits scuffing, cracking, and chips in the base from handling, and its electronic functionality remains untested. Dimensions: 49 cm x 99 cm x 213 cm (19.5 x 39" x 84")
