This is way off topic...then again perhaps not too much.
Word comes out of Japan via the Star Wars collector's circuit that a Japanese company is making a limited edition (100) of traditional suits of samurai armor in the style of Darth Vader. The fact that Lucas borrowed heavily from ancient Japan is well known, this is just taking that fact to a logical conclusion.
The suit is 1/4 scale and will sell for $2700. Currently they plan to offer it only in Japan. Even at that price this suit will probably sell out quickly.
