Darth Vader life-size Bust--PREORDER NOW ON PAGE ONE!!!!

[galactiboy]

Man, I would have been driven up the wall if the boxes showed up on different days. My wife was stuck waiting around all evening since FedEx can arrive anytime between 8a-9p

But I guess the important thing is that no matter what you at least know you are getting this awesome piece

Hey Sideshow, With the Darth Vader life-sized Bust out now, Any chance for a face of Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker with the burns and Sith eyes from Episode III that fits onto the bust? I would LOVE one!

Thanks

The Monster,
Nick

My shipping notice only says 1 of 1.. wonder if I'm getting one box or what!

 

[galactiboy]

Yep, the all seem to say 1 of 1 and weigh 32lbs... but I received 2 boxes from one shipping notice.

Just got this beast in yesterday, finally. This thing is a monster, sooooo worth the money. To make it even sweeter was that when i turned the bust over, i got #006/300!! By far the lowest # of any sideshow piece ive ever purchsed. Im so happy with this thing. It's almost too big haha makes my Grevious 1:1 look soo tiny.

:chew

It's hard to tell in some of the pictures, but I noticed immediately after seeing Vader in person that below his lenses the left side is dark satin gray... the right side gloss black. Below that in his "cheek" area it is the opposite(right side gray-left side gloss black). I went back & looked at the pics on here & every bust has the same paint scheme. Now I have plenty of Darth Vader reference pics. (in my nerd files) & have yet to find one that is similar.
Can anyone fill me in on why Sideshow did this? I'm not complaining, just curious.

 

[galactiboy]

That is how the actual mask looks... alternating sections of black and gunmetal gray.

Even replicated it on the 1/6 figure.

 

[-jay-]

Well looks like i'll be sending mine back it has a paint rub that looks worse in person than it does in this picture! it'll bug the crap out of me so off it goes.

Second silver stip from the left

 

[creature4000]

yeah.. thats bad.

Well just got the other box with the head etc and that is all fine! so i've emailed them and hopefully they will just replace the chest area as i wouldn't like to box it all back up.

Now hopefully you get the chance to smash the damaged shoulders to bits........I've always wanted to do that to a collectable

Big old sledge hammer at the ready.

 

[galactiboy]

Bummer to see that... definitely a "send back" issue.

 

[Darth Waller]

Does anyone with Vader also have an eFX stand? I'm curious if Vader's dome and mask will work on there.

Just found out my replacement Anakin portrait is on its way back to me

But once it arrives I have to send back the damaged one So no smashy-smash and no option to modify it into something different.

Oh well, great news is I'll get a replacement
