With an estimate between $250,000 – $500,000 and a reserve of $100,000, this is The Force Awakens” Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) Hero Helmet, heading to auction on 9th September at the Pop Culture Artifacts Auction, overseen by SXV Auctions, giving colldectors the chance to not only own the mask worn in Episode VII but perhaps even more fascinating, the prescription glasses Adam Driver wore under his mask.

A hero helmet with customized prescription sunglasses worn by Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) in the film “Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens” (Lucasfilm, 2015).

This hero helmet was prominently featured in “Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens” during key dialogue scenes, such as Kylo Ren’s intense confrontations with Rey and his poignant encounter with Han Solo on Starkiller Base, where Adam Driver’s subtle performance revealed the character’s inner conflict.

The helmet’s menacing, battle-damaged design, paired with the customized prescription sunglasses, masked Kylo’s vulnerability, projecting a fearsome aura while echoing Darth Vader’s iconic presence. Its silver-streaked silhouette and voice-modulating vocoder became a defining emblem of the Sequel Trilogy, sparking widespread fan cosplays and cementing its role as a symbol of legacy and redemption.

This hero helmet is meticulously crafted from high-quality fiberglass composite, reinforced with carbon fiber and aramid for lightweight durability. The grille and accents feature true chromed detailing with a brilliant silver-tone sheen, while the visor and mouth ports include non-reflective mesh screening for actor visibility. The interior is fitted with custom-made foam padding lined with soft nylon for extended comfort. A fabric label with “A DRIVER” is affixed to the rear interior of the helmet.

The accompanying brown tortoise shell prescription sunglasses, designed to fit seamlessly within the helmet via a custom foam bridge attachment and with arms removed, ensured Adam Driver’s vision remained clear while maintaining the helmet’s imposing form.

Studio-distressed with subtle scratches and chrome patina, it embodies the weathered aesthetic of a dark side warrior.

The production of “Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens” marked a triumphant return of the Star Wars saga, blending practical effects with modern innovation to captivate global audiences. Under J.J. Abrams’ direction, the hero helmet’s design, crafted by concept artists like Glyn Dillon and guided by costume designer Michael Kaplan, drew from Ralph McQuarrie’s samurai-inspired Vader concepts. The team incorporated scavenged, post-apocalyptic elements, such as the grille’s fused-metal aesthetic, to reflect Kylo’s obsession with his grandfather’s legacy. Using 3D scanning and hand-applied weathering, the helmet merges ancient menace with futuristic precision, standing as a cinematic icon that bridges the Original and Sequel Trilogies.

Helmet measuring approximately 12″ x 10.5″ x 9.5″; prescription sunglasses measuring approximately 6″ x 6″ x 2.5″.
