Re: Darth Vader (Mythos) Statue
You were supposed to be the Chosen One!! It was my DES-tiny!
Darth Vader Mythos 1:5 Statue 3638/5000- Sideshow
Well this finally(!) arrived. I had missed out on the first wave, then it was sold out and I finally was able to 'PO' when it became available again. I have to admit I was losing interest a bit in this as it came closer but once I opened it all my jadedness and doubts were gone. This is a gorgeous statue.
The sculpt is wonderful and it has tons of display options. Everything is very well sculpted, the 2 heads have some very slight differences (mostly the nose) but have different feel; the Shaw face is more contemplative while the Christensen face has more anger in it. The orange paint doesn't bother me at all on the costume but I do wish the helmet weren't quite so orange. I feel the statue works best in its intended pose but the orange on the helmet bothers me just a bit, I like the "join me!" fist with helmet but I feel like it doesn't fit the base and scene as well as the other option. The bottom line however is that there are many ways to display this statue and most likely something to satisfy everyone. I hope they are able to make some more Mythos down the line.
If you only knew the POWER of the Dark Side!
This power I wielded, what has it wrought?
There is another... Impressive.
