Cinemaquette - Darth Vader

[Darth Mitchell]

Holy cow... Looks like a mini FX saber. Puts Sideshow's to shame.

It looks awesome yes, when it's on
When the light is off it's just a white tube... That's why I prefer the Sideshow sabers. The light may not work (good) but whan the light is off it still looks good

I saw some photoshop pics on another site of what this "could have been" with some minor adjustments and am consequently rethinking my decision to purchase it.

From Gruson over at https://www.chocolatebydeath.com/topic.php?id=582&page=16 :

"Spoke to George briefly today.

- Vader is in production now
- Price is not yet determined
- Official pics should be on site in a month
- Pre-order in 3 months
- Shipping late this year (hopefully)

Crap, forgot to ask about the Shaw head/reveal. "

I would say the Endo and then this ESB Vader are CM's best.

I wasn't blown away on this, it does look overly bulky and his outfit looked a bit baggy...Also, I wasn't impressed with the Shaw head sculpt. I do love the light-up saber and chestplate, the sheer size of this statue and the Vader helmet..


My favs...
1. Endo
2. Reeve Superman...
3. Bruce Lee

Vader in 1/3 has to be huge.

I would take this probably over all the PF right now if I had them.

It looks terrific but too expensive for my wallet.

just what I was thinking. I will wait until Sideshow releases the inevitable RotJ Darth Vader to go with Jedi Luke and the Emperor.

I made a point to go see it at SDCC and was very unimpressed. I was unsure of why you would have the other head sculpts, they make ZERO sense on that pose.

 

[The Ringer]

So is the lightsaber comparable to a MR FX one?

I would say yes but didnt seem to be as good as the MR ones.

 

[jkno]

Is the saber with LED's like the Force FX versions or more like a neon, like the Gentle Giant ROTS Chrome Vader statue?

Looks pretty silly with the Shaw portrait on. And from that angle, I'm really not liking the pose. He looks bowlegged.

Yeah, those pics do more harm than good. The Shaw portrait looks awful on the piece... can't imagine many would use it anyway, but looks pretty ridiculous.

And the pose does look kind of awkward, would have preferred seeing the iconic "I am your father" pose over this interpretive one.

I personally think the Shaw portrait is kinda cool... interesting to see that when he's not about to kick off.

The pose does look off. I think it's the legs. It looks like he's doing some kind of interpretive dance.

 

[daikkenaurora]

Those pics do not make me want to buy this piece.

I think alot of companies now are making the mistake of doing "interpretive" poses...most collectors want iconic poses..but noone is giving them to us...wtf

I can understand it from an artistic standpoint, I'm sure the artists don't want to be given a picture and say "do this", they'd rather put their own stamp on a piece. The problem is we tend to end up with either 1) a slightly "tweaked" version of an iconic pose, which often doesn't work, or 2) a completely unique pose that doesn't fit the character.
