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

[MaulFan]

Well I'm pretty sure LOTR is referring to the final payment for those that signed up for flex from day 1. People who go to cancel an item or switch late in the game get put onto a schedule based on that time.

 

[LOTRFan]

My last flex payment isn't until July since I just switched over to FLEX last week

The email applied to those who initially purchased this on Flex, first day of Con for me.

 

[MaulFan]

I really wish I could have been at the con to shoot this thing, there were some pieces I'd have loved to have been one of the first to snap shots of at the show last year.

So now its pushed back to mid-April? Bummer

If they're taking the time to QC this properly, I'd rather they take their time and get it right. Heck i can wait till December if need be. Just, PLEASE, get it right.


This is the piece i really wanted and i pulled the trigger once it went up for pre-order.


Please, please, please, no fiasco for this one

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, even though delays are no fun... if it results in a better product I'm all for it.

 

[MaulFan]

Plus for me, the longer the delay, the easier to keep my order for this, and I really don't want to lose it, even if I hadn't paid the deposit, I just really want this.

What's the story with the edition size on the regular?

I'm curious about this as well. Will it have a limited edition or will be like SS 1:1 Endoskull Combat bust with open edition?

as am I. I am cool with delays and my wallet certainly appreciates it, but if this thing does not look as good as the proto I will be asking for my money back.

 

[galactiboy]

Same here... I'm expecting to be blown away by this piece in person. Any QC issues and its going back. I'm not gonna play around with this much $$$.

 

[MaulFan]

Well, considering that Iron Man Mark 3 was $700 and Mark 2 $800 and Vader is $1200, I would imagine even extra care will go into QC assurance because if there were a fiasco, that's quite a bit of money to eat on returns, and I agree, for the money, I'll go through exchanges and if that doesn't resolve things, finally just return it for the money, for $1200, defects can't be accepted.

UNBOXING Darth Vader Life-Size Bust at toy fair :chew

[MaulFan]

Why would someone other than Sideshow have this bust at Toy Fair. Looks like my prediction of the helmet and Anakin head coming in a separate box is right, but now, looking at the setup, I wonder if it means that the Ex. stand would then be a 3rd box.

 

[Jaycepticon]

that...looks...amazing:eek

 

[Nacho]

That is very impresive....

 

[masterside]

that is incredible, i can't wait my exclusive version, i hope it is the version production, is it the case this is a very very good news, the paint job looks simply amazing!!!!!:chew:chew:chew:chew

 

[galactiboy]

Damn, that is great looking... didn't realize how big the Anakin head would be... for some reason I figured part of his head would be missing to accomodate being placed in the mask.

Thanks for posting the vid

 

[MaulFan]

I was suprised to see neck on the Anakin head too, I just figured with the Vader mask hiding that part of him, it would be just his head cut off at the jawline. The paint looks great on the Anakin portrait.
