Re: Darth Vader (Mythos) Statue

honestly, I never repainted a finished piece.. or custom painted something.. I would love to do it but bot before I tried it on my own.. unfortunately I dont have the statue so as much as I would love to do it for you - I dont feel comfortable to put my hands on it

It's gloss black finish. How hard can this be?

im thinking strip the paint off, then paint again. the hard part would be matching the paint im guessing. what sort of complications could arise?

Thinking hard about pulling the trigger on this. $20 off coupon covers most of the shipping.

I have this piece, and he's definitely worth the buy. Best Vader out there. Poignant. Pull the trigger. You won't be sorry.

Great piece mine arrived today but the leg has broken clean off!
The cast is not uniform at all, 2-4 mm in most places but at the point of the break it is literally like an eggshell!
This is now 3 out of my last 4 pieces that have arrived with issues and required main body replacements!

Thinking about letting this guy go. Great piece but could do with funds

Re: Darth Vader (Mythos) Statue

Vader has arrived and he looks spectacular! I was a little apprehensive about the paint when I first saw the pics, but in hand he looks great.

I've contacted returns and also placed my name on the list for the corrected arm.

Barring the arm setback, this is by far the best Vader statue I've ever seen. Well done, Sideshow.

Re: Darth Vader (Mythos) Statue

My local supplier said that this statue is delayed, he was unaware of the power pose arm issue; of which I made him aware. I told him to compile a list of purchasers' to send to sideshow so that they would send out the corrected arm.

I will gladly wait until the fix is in, my wallet thanks sideshow for the faux-pau.

Re: Darth Vader (Mythos) Statue

#812 arrived last week. Some thoughts for seeing this for the first time in-person...
True, the orange-effect is a bit overwrought, especially on the helmet imo, but's it not as distracting as it appears in most photos & isn't the deal-breaker I was worried about earlier.
Pleasant surprise; Even though I like the Shaw and helmeted looks best, the Christensen head is pretty darn good too. Looks fitting when paired side-by-side with the McGregor Obi-Wan head.
The depth and swirl of the cap adds a nice sense of emotion stirring just beneath the surface of Vader's calm facade.
Verdict; Another home-run in the Mythos line, and a truly terrific Vader piece.
Though after acquiring all 5 statues in the last 3 months (and the Shaak Ti PF to boot) it's definitely time to rest the wallet for awhile.

Re: Darth Vader (Mythos) Statue

just got mine....ugh. the orange is SOOOOO overdone. the helmet is fine. the body is deep dark orange. no way im keeping this mess. the glow should be subtle, not pure deep orange....fools.
