Wow, thank you! that's the best kind of endorsement I can think of and I'm glad you found the review helpful in making your decision. Enjoy Maul when he comes in, he's definitely a good piece with some outstanding sculpting

In all honesty if it wasn't for the fact that I enjoy this hobby, I wouldn't have done the website to start with. I make no money off the website, affiliate links don't generate any income, people click them but don't buy anything from the affiliate links so it's definitely not for the money

It's been a challenge trying to juggle the website, work and home, which is why you don't see too many reviews up yet. I have to find the time to get these things photographed and write the reviews. The one thing I pride myself for and I hope my readers agree is that my reviews are fair and honest. The items I review are bought, not provided by the manufacturer, I'm not affraid to say bad things about a product if there is something bad to be said. After all, I am collector myself and it is my hope that the information in the reviews helps other collectors make an educated decision prior to buying a piece.

I have a slew of Hot Toys that came in this week (Bane, Thor & Black Widow with Joker 2.0 EX coming next week), but I haven't had the time this week to even unbox them, so yeah, time is definitely an issue. But expect more reviews to be posted soon.

Thank you again for your kind comments, they are most appreciated and make working on the website worthwhile.

Regards

Re: Darth Vader (Mythos) Statue

I'm so curious if the saber hilt that is supposed to be on his belt is missing from this one like Obi-Wan's, will folks be upset?...I wonder...

Oy vey. Can we give it a rest?

Call Sideshow and ask them if you're concerned. I'm waiting for in hand pics on this particular piece before I order.

 

[Kicksplode]

Does anyone have both this statue and the Gentle Giant Count Dooku & Asajj Ventress statue? I'm wondering how well they display together given the scale difference.

Re: Darth Vader (Mythos) Statue

Me too fury. The paint app is what I'm nervous about.

Re: Darth Vader (Mythos) Statue

I'd like reassurance the hilt would be on.

Re: Darth Vader (Mythos) Statue

I want both!

Re: Darth Vader (Mythos) Statue

I think that the extra hand holding the helmet will not be included in the production piece.















LOL

The more I think about it the more I think these hilts were supposed to be attached via magnet or clip. If you think about it, a sculpted hilt means the statue has possibly two lightsabers depending on the display you choose (one in hand, one on belt).

Going on that I think the Vader statue will be the same as Obi-wan = no hilt sabers.

Can someone tell me the real box dimensions?

With Kenobi you can always conjure some bs reasoning like "it's packed away with his stuff" but with Vader, there's nowhere to put it. The piece would really be bad without it.

I highly doubt that. I think after the customer reaction regarding Kenobi, SS will be sure to include Vader's hilt. We know they can be made because Kenobi has two of them. I just don't think SS will make the mistake after the outcry on Kenobi.

Re: Darth Vader (Mythos) Statue

But do you get what I'm saying though. If you've got Vader with his LS in hand, why does he have one on his belt?

Go to the SS website and look at the Vader Mythos statue picture number 5 of 11. Where's the sabre???? Picture 9 of 11 also shows the LS on the ground.

It's supposed to be removable like the Obi-wan was.

That would leave a problem. If it is removable why is it not provided with Obi and if it is supplied with vader why couldn't they do the same thing?

This one will be tasty when it's released...

I was under the impression the obi-wan hilt was sculpted onto the statue but I guess they just completely dropped the ball and didn't include it at all.

Re: Darth Vader (Mythos) Statue

The paint app is EVERYTHING with this one. It has to be nailed, or it could come out looking pretty ridiculous. Definitely waiting for production version first. I will not cave to pre-ordering temptation on this one.
