He is 5 and has never seen Start Wars so I have no idea where he got Darth Vader from. But, I am having a really hard time finding a decent costume! They all have these helmets that look so uncomfortable and I doubt he will even wear it. Anyone know of good Darth Vader costume?

Around here I've seen DV at Target and Party City. I didn't get a good look at the actual costumes though. My DS is still too little to request what he wants to be :)
 
They have decent ones at Walmart. My son was 3 when he decided to be Darth Vader. He never saw the movies either. If your son is in school, that is probably where he got the idea from. I have been surprised at the stuff my kid hears from the kids at school!:scared1: My boy has seen all the movies since then. We did movie night every Thursday at my dad's for six weeks straight to watch all 6 episodes on his big screen. The only reason why I actually let him is because Dh and my dad convinced me that Adam is a "big boy" and can handle them(he was 4). They weren't as bad as I thought they would be and he watches them over and over again.:rotfl:
 
My son is going to be Darth Vadar for the 2nd time this year (the costume from 3 years ago no longer fits). He's 13 and pretty tall so we had to shop in the adult section. We found a good costume at Target for $30. Most of them do come with helmets but for smaller kids you can find one with a mask that just covers the face.
 

At Target, in the Toys section (by the Star Wars stuff) we found a decent Darth Vader w/ a front mask and band that goes around the head. Included a voice changer too. It is for sizes 4-8. Even after Halloween, my son uses it to dress up around the house and play.
 
We bought this one at Kolhs. I also saw them at Walmart and Target for about $20. Interesting thing though, we bought one at Walmart and returned it because it was slightly too small for my 5 yr old (it was labeled size 6x...ds is tall for his age, and slender so I thought it would fit). The Kohls version (same brand name) looked the same, but was size 5-7 iirc...and ds has some room to grow in it.
