I just know when I see the McQuarrie helmet I'm going to for not ordering one.

Expect Vader to be available for pre-order soon! Official sneaks of the production piece can be found here:

This is a great piece. I just don't understand the position of the le left leg... What the hell we're they thinking?

 

[INFECDEAD]

Yeah I was hoping they would tweak the pose so he didn't look like he was dropping a fart. Still, I'm going to get it.

Wow -- the timing kinda sucks --- I just bought the LGD ANH Vader helm, the LE ANH Vader helm, and the Alien Maquette from Sideshow =P

True -- if they just rotated the lower leg out, it'd appear more natural...

I mentioned the pleats to George at Comic Con last year, I'm wondering if they overdid it...

The Chest piece I also mentioned (should be wider at the arms) which I'm glad they changed...

this will not be available though any other retailer, unless this has changed, but I wonder if it's just a down or full payment upfront...

A nice statue. But for its price (and add a bit more) you can have a life-size Vader on mannequin, which would be more impressive than any statue.

The CM is supposed to come in at around $2k, correct? I was always under the impression that an accurate life-size Vader would cost significantly more than that. Are they cheaper to build now?

And that's not including a mannequin or materials to build a form, is it?

 

[jkno]

I'd rather save $3000 or even more and get a life-size Vader or trooper, than pay over $2000 and have a 1:3 statue, no matter how cool it is. A 1:1 item will always be more impressive than any scaled statue, mini-bust, figure, or even prop replica or helmet by its own. The only thing that goes closer to 1:1 armor on mannequin IMO, is a studio scale ship or vehicle like the MR Falcon or AT-AT which are very impressive by their sheer size and design. All others are very cool, but far from being that impressive.
