Such sad news that David Prowse, who made Darth Vader the most feared villain in cinemas, has passed away.

We have some unique signed memorabilia and this is our favourite. A quarter life sized model with a signature on the iconic Darth Vader helmet, it is a one of a kind piece, in a stunning perspex display case. He was kind enough to chat to me whilst meeting fans and signed this model at a comic-con we held back in 2015. He wasn’t in the best of health and didn’t have much praise for George Lucas and Co. but did acknowledge that playing the character, voted in most poles, the greatest ever cinematic villain, Darth Vader, has given him a good living on the Sci-fi and Comic-Con circuit for the past 40 years.
