 Hey everybody, welcome back to my Star Wars channel. My name is David and this is the beginning of my Kylo Ren costume build We would be honored if you would join us Hey everybody, welcome back to the channel. Thanks for being here a couple weeks ago It was Halloween and I dressed up as Han Solo I have a Han Solo costume that I like a lot and it's one of my options I'm either Han Solo or Indiana Jones or Jack Sparrow and all those characters are My exposed face, right? It's it always just looks like me wearing a Han Solo costume or me wearing an Indiana Jones costume and went to Disney World a couple weeks ago and One of the things I noticed about the characters that dressed up at Disney World was the characters that wore masks got a lot of attention like People that went to go see the characters Really loved seeing like Kylo Ren, the Imperial Stormtroopers, or even like Mickey and Minnie Whereas the other characters that were supposed to be Rey or you know, or Princess They don't necessarily look exactly like the characters that the little kids remember And so that got me thinking if I can do a Star Wars build for next year I'll be 2022 that could be a helmeted build But then also Star Wars and so I picked Kylo Ren So we're gonna do a Kylo Ren build here on the channel first thing I realize right away is Kylo Ren is about eight inches taller than me eight Inches as a lot right eight inches a lot even if I stood up on my tiptoes I'd only be adding a couple of inches. So we're not gonna be anywhere near as tall as Kylo But I don't know that everybody knows exactly how tall he is So the goal for me is to get a little taller I want to be tall enough that People don't necessarily recognize me right away just by my height because if you don't know Kylo Ren is completely in black from head to toe there is no exposed skin or hairline or anything anywhere and so That'll be good to kind of like make me disappear The other thing about being Han Solo was Han Solo doesn't wear glasses So I took my glasses off and Han Solo doesn't have a beard or a mustache. So I shaved But as Kylo Ren I don't have to shave But I did discover with the purchase of the mask. I'll still need to take my glasses off so First thing I thought let's just get the hard thing right out of the way and buy them one of the most expensive parts and Look at getting the helmet. So my first piece has arrived. It's already here. And this is the black series Voice changing Kylo Ren helmet now This was made from a mold of the original mask or a screen use mask I should say and you might say well, then it's probably 501 approved, right? No It's not 501 approved because it has this Seam that goes down the helmet and they would want you to remove that plus it has these voice Activation buttons on the side and they would want you to remove that again and then repaint, but then probably after that. Yes, I Will not be going through all of that. I Think the visor is also a little too clear It's a little too transparent and I'll see what I can do to make it a little bit Darker, but I'm not gonna be erasing the seam or the button. I'm not that good at arts and crafts So I don't plan to go that far plus I'm planning to be the Kylo Ren from Force Awakens Which means I'll be wearing a hood for the entire time. So all of this back Parts they won't be seen anyway at all The voice changer inside of this is horrendous. It's absolutely awful It doesn't sound anything like Kylo Ren and so I'll be replacing that as well And I'll show you some footage for that when that comes in But I will take the my glasses off and I will show you what the helmet looks like on my head So as you can see on my head, it looks kind of tall, right? You probably didn't expect the helmet to sit so high on my head You also noticed that you can see my neck and the back of my neck, but that would all go away and Not just with the hood. You actually need a neck Piece like a neck piece that goes between the costume and the mask and then after that You'll need like a ski mask type of a hood that covers up all the extra Parts of your flesh and so I'll have to get both of those things to cover up my head and my neck But then after that The mask will look just about right and if you've ever watched the movie when he takes the hood off you do see this kind of Lip in the back of this helmet and you do see his neckline. So that is how it does look Wearing the mask though on your face. It is very tight and the field of vision right here is very very small This is one of those masks where if there's little kids down there You'll have to tip your head all the way down to see them. Otherwise, they'll be Gone from view and so a very low peripheral vision on the left and right, but This is the mask So now let me show you what the voice changer sounds like the one that comes with it just so you can See how bad it is and you can kind of already hear it working But this is the mask and this is the Voice changer. This is what it sounds like Sounds exactly like Kylo Ren No, it doesn't sound like Kylo Ren. So That is the black series voice changing kylo red mask. Like I said, this is part one and They'll just be following me on my journey as we continue But that's everything. That's all that's really all I wanted to say and thanks for watching guys May the force be with you. I'll see you next time
