It also depends on how you want to show your Vader. If you display the Mythos with him looking at his mask it is completely different than any other Vader statue out there. The old PF and this new one will still be the exact same Vader just in a different pose. The Mythos one tells a story and is unique. I think anyway.
That's exactly why I'm loving the mythos line. There's something about the Vader statue that has shelf presence from the pictures I've seen.
Well given that HT just released a Shadowtrooper, I am hoping that Disney will release the stranglehold on EU stuff and there can be more Mythos in the future. I went from not wanting to collect Star Wars at larger scale to these being my absolute favorite pieces!
I really don't think you can go wrong on this The Chev, and given that this is the last Mythos piece you can still pick up, I would lock that bad boy up! Masterpieces all the way around. Love every single thing about them including the box!
I hope SSC is able to do more mythos statues in the future. I'm leaning toward picking it up. Thanks for the advice.
This is a quote from Igo over at the Statue Forum board
'Lastly, no one said Mythos was totally dead, it just had to be hugely rethought after the Disney buy-out. So it's still on the table but you might even see some single figure "mythos" like Star Wars statements in 1:4 scale in the future, who knows..."
I don't want damned statements. I want awesome statues in unique settings & poses. I have 3 of these and I am yet to read any of their precious stories.
Cut the story and give Disney one less reason to turn down great art direction.
Could care less about any back story drivel.
1:5 scale also makes it cheaper ^^ plus when they're mounted on their huge bases, which are so beautifully detailed, they don't lose out to the PFs I think.

considering the amount of extra detail that has gone into these figures, I don't think they are much cheaper. There's way more than on most premium formats. Plus, several switch-out parts..
And the amount of polystone used isn't less either, if you look at for example Obi-Wan's cape.
Thanks mate.
I have mine with the classic helmet off, in his hand. It just seems so much more epic, especially considering how rarely he takes his helmet off! Second fav is definitely the one you mentioned
