Cool thanks, I have been ordering from SS for almost 10 years; but I don't remember being this anxious before.

It cetainly is for me... and I predict also the last. I can't think of anything besides a 1:1 Vader I would need that badly in my collection

Man this thing rocks If you are second guessing your purchase, DON'T!!! It is big as heck and beautifull. I already cut some vadermonkey lenses to fit and i think it finishes it off.

Here are some pics for the boyz still waiting......sorry they are from an old camera.......

 

[Zombie Killer]

Couple more.....enjoy

It seems SS Vader bust is taller than the eFX/MR Stormie helmet. It surely won't fit where I was first thinking, but I do have another spot for him, just need to get a cabinet built.

Is anyone else going to be placing this in a cabinet/display case?

 

[Jaycepticon]

awesome pics, Zombie. This piece looks incredible.

 

[galactiboy]

I like the new lenses Zombie... where do they come from?

Yeah, that is what I intend to do. After I receive my Vader in August I'm going to have a custom cabinet built.

The lenses came from a guy on the RPF called vadermonkey. These were from his last run.

 

[galactiboy]

So they just fit in place over the Sideshow eyes? Very cool

 

[Zombie Killer]

Well actually no. They are made to fit behind a mask so they are about 3/16" bigger all around.. I had to trim and file them down to fit in the mask from the front. I just picked up some black pinstripping and ran it around the lenses a few times. They fit semi snug.
This thing need shoulders and a chestbox next.

awesome pics and look forward to your future modifications.

Got my exclusive today! Very impressive!!! I still wish I could put the mask over the face. Just a teeny bit of ear, less than an inch, standing in the way. Could've been an easy fix for SS. Oh well, still one of Sideshow's finest pieces!!!

Not the best pics, but thought I'd share:
