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

[Skiman]

Here ya go, except the SE would also come with signatures. There were 2 editions one with just Hayden and the other with him and James Earl Jones.

If I'm not mistaken, you can also wear this one... but of course you don't get any of the cool internal details like we're seeing with the Sideshow version.

Wow, looks pretty cool. Yeah I would like the whole chest bust more even though Sideshow's is meant to be cut from the shoulders etc... and the portrait of Anakin is just amazing as well. It (MR SE version) does look very nice though!

I am the only one or did someone on this thread was wondering if the bust had electronic voice programming. I would like just one, the breathing factor

edit: wonder what the exclusive stand is made out of, is it polystone, hopefully not some cheap plastic. Did anyone comment on what materials the extra stand was?

I passed on the MR ROTS Vader helmet waiting for eFX to make an OT one. I'm sure eFX will make an OT Vader helmet (ESB or ROTJ), and when they do it will ROCK!

 

[ChrisCJ99]

Yeah, I was looking at closed auctions for that helmet... not pretty. I was always interested in it, but being from the PT Vader I just couldn't justify the cost.

Yeah, it's sad

 

[Skiman]

Yeah, it's sad

Why was/is it sad, did they go for a pretty penny and then drop??!?!

 

[galactiboy]

I think MSPR on the signature was $899... looking at completed eBay auctions you can get one for around $600.

And with something like this being released its possible that will drop more.

 

[Skiman]

Ouch

Chris better sell dat shat quick!!!!!

 

[icruise]

I'm actually thinking of just getting the MR (non sig edition) instead of this... I didn't realize they had gone down like that. I'm not overly bothered by the fact that it's from ROTS.

 

[galactiboy]

Evidently EFX is releasing one as well which might be cooler.

To me this bust can be a centerpiece (not that you need it with a lifesize C-3PO ) whereas the helmet alone doesn't seem as substantial.

 

[jkno]

If I have to choose between a ROTS Vader helmet and a Vader helmet from OT I'd go with OT in a heartbeat. And that's why I'm waiting for eFX to make any of the OT Vader helmets.

Yeah, I've got the centerpiece thing down, I think. I'm actually a little concerned about where I would put the Sideshow piece. Plus, buying it will mean that I will definitely not be getting R2-D2 anytime soon, and that's a little sad. Hmm...

I wonder how much the eFX version would be.

 

[galactiboy]

Awe man, easy decision... forget Vader, get R2. As much as I love the bust, if I could have the lifesize droids instead it'd be a no-brainer.

It might get close to $1000 for sure.

I agree but there's the little matter of the difference in price.

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, that's why I won't be getting the lifesize droids

But our hopes lie in you... you are the chosen one

 

[automaton]

a rep for e-fx mentioned a ANH helmet, but it likely wouldn't be available until winter 2010.

Thanks.

I plan to keep the Vader on order for a while until I figure out what to do (which is one reason I didn't want to pay a deposit). If I can't get R2, Vader would be a nice consolation price.

More like 2011 at the rate efx puts out SW items.

Good! Maybe I can afford it by then.

No kidding, the Obi saber remained unchanged (and unweathered) from the last Con.

Actually, the single SE cost $1099 retail. The regular version cost about $899 I believe.....

Either way, it has dropped quite a bit since then
