[LOTRFan]

Apples and oranges my friend. Both seem quality in their respective mediums.

Had 2 Doom PF EX at one point, both are gone; Vader will be here to stay.

Mine converted 3 or 4 months after it was released. Now you got to hope someone wants to give up their $250 deposit.

Well, Me too got on the waitlist right now, don't think it will convert but I hope... actually I ordered the Vader Exclusive Bust on day 1 but I was out of Italy when Sideshow sent me the emails asking for the deposit... unfortunately they then canceled my order back in August, as I haven't answered...
And now I actually don't think I'll ever get the exclusive...
That said, Is there anyone who is going to make a custom display stand for those who cannot have the exclusive... Is there anybody? please let me know thanks... that way I can go for the regular here from my Italian retailer... THANKS

Correct me if I'm wrong but the helmet displayed by itself will not look right
because it won't have the lower neck.

 

[galactiboy]

Yep no lower neck... at least that we know of. I started a request thread about it and was told that it would be passed along.

Personally won't use the stand; but its always better to have an exclusive than to not have it.

 

[MaulFan]

In this case, the exclusive is about function. Unless you plan to have the bust spend a fair ammount of time with the helmet off, then the stand is unnecessary, it's really just for those that want a majority or at least a fair ammount of time viewing the Anakin portrait. Though it'd look creepy, I wonder if the stand would support the Anakin head when the mask is on, since as far as I know, you have to take the Anakin head off the bust to put it all together.

 

[galactiboy]

I figure if I ever have him unmasked I'll just place the mask back in the box. So I probably don't need it, but the lure of the exclusive got me again

 

[MaulFan]

I think it'd look nice to have the helmet out and mounted, almost like a never seen moment of him in his chamber taking it off for a few. I don't like the idea of digging out the box to get and put away the Anakin head, probably figure out some smaller place to store it in between looks, as the large box will get buried away somewhere.

Speaking of that, I wonder if this bust will come in 2 boxes like some of their larger items, one box for the bust and another for the dome and face plate.

Perhaps so, but SS was kind enough to offer that flat shipping rate.

darn! was hoping to get this early, not later

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, I'm ready to go... don't want to wait any longer Oh well, hopefully its only a month.

This is interesting - had Sideshow really not yet made it clear how the pieces fit together?
i.e. does the bust have to come out for the dome and mask to go on?

Good, better chance of it not breaking in the bitter cold here n the North East.

Yep same here.

The newsletter only shows the exclusive edition delayed. Does this mean the regular versions are still shipping this month?
