I had the original mythos line back in the day and only held onto Fett because the scale bothered me. This one is interesting in 1/4 scale but I'm frightened at what the price will be... Plus it has that huge sculpted cape that the original Kenobi had and I was always very nervous about it breaking.
I'm happy with 1/5 scale Mythos. No need to upgrade as this will be probably 30" tall with that cape.
So they churched up the 1/5 and re-released it in 1/4? Ilmfao

That's a good point. The most recent Vader PF is close to 27 inches tall and has a pretty modest base. I'd be out on this because the spaces I have that would accommodate this are already taken up by other things...
You'll probably need 24" in width as well with that cape and lightsaber. It's gonna be a big, big boy. I'm perfectly happy with the 1/5 scale.
assuming my math is correct, it should be
30.94" H
29.28" W
15.63" D
30.94" H
29.28" W
15.63" D
Good Lord (Vader), that's massive

I have the 1/5th that's good enough.

Totally agree.
This and the complete copy of the Kenobi in PF from Mythos just shows them as lazy.
Very lazy of them to just upscale the 1/5. Was excited to see the thread, then confused an thought I was in the wrong thread, now disappointed that it's just a lazy upscale.

It's dirty that they're doing this tbh. I recently sold my Maul mythos which now I'm glad I did if they make him in 1/4 with light up blades. They shouldn't do this, makes 1/5 stand out even worse if a 1/4 is available.

I would say if they bring out a net new mythos with the 1/5 and 1/4 option, that's pretty cool as it gives folks with money or space constraints an option. To release a 1/5 scale mythos and then months later release it in 1/4 scale does kind of suck. With that said, I will happily take a 1/4 scale mythos Fett exactly like the original!

I would take the 1/4 over the 1/5 since it’s such a random scale. Options help but 1/4 is their bread and butter with adding additional features like lights and all.

I’m a fan of the original Mythos scale. I get why people like the same scale, personally, I like the bit of difference. But $1125 for the EX? A lot of money for something they simply scaled up and reprinted.

With what Blitzway is charging for sculpted 1/4, this is robbery from Sideshow's end. $1100+ is crazy.

I see this move as cost cutting. No need to make a new mold. Just update and done. To me, this says inflation and
lower interest is impacting sales. However, people will pay for a cool looking statue if one was presented but the cost
to make one is too high.
