That looks amazing! I have been following this thread since it started and it is great to see how far things have progressed. I am in for a whole armor set when they are offered. I hope you offer both the asymmetrical and symmetrical dome. I prefer the asymmetrical dome but I think I would like...

How in the age of 3-D scanning can they get the helmet that wrong. Why can’t they just grab the original helmet or a good replica and just scan the thing? Or they could just upscale the 3D image of the 40th anniversary helmet. The concept of the figure is interesting with the rubber skin but it...

If they were wanting this to be a success they really needed to demonstrate the quality difference. Messing up this badly on the helmet, especially after doing a good job on the Black Series one was a mistake they couldn't make. And the body and cape do not really look all that different from...

Thank you Eamon! Any chance you can take some pictures with the vintage head on the figure?

Basically eBay. You can sometimes get some good rams there and Chinese sellers offer headless bodies.

Re: Star Wars: Episode IX - December 20, 2019 I literally scrolled up to see if I clicked on the blade runner thread by accident.

And they are not exactly the same, but pretty similar. The differences include: -different accessories -brighter paint (going by the con pictures) -different ankles (an improvement) -different wrist joints (not an improvement) -shorter shorts on He-Man ...and likely crappier plastic quality...

Yeah, I did a double-take there. Related to this article though, I appreciate the explanation as to how the author(s) came up with the results. Having read quite a few peer-reviewed articles, I understand how this methodology was justified though the conclusive labels given to these groups of...

Exactly! Almost all 1/6 Vaders have screwed up the dome flare.

I have the HT ANH tunic. It is the right length on the Sideshow. It is also much easier to futz compared to the stock SS.

I use the HT tunic on my SS and I think it looks good. Much better than the flimsy SS tunic

The dome at sdcc was different from the initial reveal. That will probably be the one on the figure as it would be unlikely they rework it twice.

For a second I thought you were serious and the OCD within me started raging.

I agree. Unfortunately, it is also pretty easy to spot the differences between RO and ANH.

Is the head on Vader on a ball joint? I wonder if I can replace the heads on some of the older figures with it.

It is the sideshow Hoth Luke sculpt. I use the same one on my Bespin Luke.

I am loving my Jedi Luke though the sculpt isn't perfect. I may replace it with the Inigou V2 if I can find a good painter for it.

I can see how Rose becomes detestable if she is viewed as a stand in for the viewpoints of the filmmakers. For Star Wars, I can kind of divorce myself from these viewpoints because I know that Star Wars doesn't belong to Rian Johnson and those perspectives will change. Just as the ideas Lucas...

Come on, that is a little extreme. There are plenty of characters that are far worse than her. Any of the silly CG characters in the PT were more annoying. Jar Jar, Boss Nass, Dexter Jezter, the pod racing announcer were all cringe worthy in every single moment they were on screen. Rose was a...

The terminator is much more iconic but prime with the the jetfire addons is going to be as impressive as it gets. Honestly, I would go for Prime but I am biased as I am a huge Transformers fan.
