Re: Darth Vader (Mythos) Statue
Based solely on the few photos:
1) This statue looks great, the paint and quality is almost on par with attakus.
2) The many switchout parts are all pretty unique and useful, i dont think there is ever an uncovered vader head in a highend statue (besides the cm 1:2 version)
3) Statue also has one of the better poses, and the one holding the helmet is rather unique (although not very practical but lets not open that box again).
4) Orange glow is a MAJOR MAJOR concern, why does sideshow want to create more headache for itself, instead of just paint it normal safe black like a sane person would do. Dont they know the type of ****ty paint quality their own products usually have. And even if it comes out perfect, i am still not sure i like painted orange color on his traditional black cape. It is very difficult to do bright orange on black cape correctly to look like lava reflections.
Seriously sideshow, if you are reading this just scrap the orange color instead of risking ruining a perfectly good statue. Noone wants it, and it will save you money/time.
5) $350 is pf price, but given the many switchouts and rather complicated sculpt, i have no outrage.
6) Given the thousands ES at min, the high risk orange paint, and zero risk of selling out. The logical thing to do is wait for inhand photos before placing the order, which is exactly what i am going to do.
