Vader arrived today and he is amazing. Now all I need is my Stormtrooper (due to arrive Friday). I can't wait to see these set up next to Boba Fett!

Hope your Star Wars display comes out nice 
Congrats! Wish I would have had my ST shipped with Vader but no biggie, just a couple more days.

My vader arrived today, damn he's a great piece, sideshow really hit this out of the park, and it you can feel the weight. A perfect 10, now rogue one sunday
Quick few shots, and comparing him with the one of the original dark lords Sauron himself

I couldn't agree more. Super happy to hear you're enjoying it. It looks great next to BF. It looks tiny next to Sauron lol. That thing must be HUGE!

I realized his head was too high, I put it down the gap is closed
HAHA he is, Sauron really is THE Dark Lord. I mean Sauron's hands and feet make vader's look like a child, haha. In the movie/books Sauron is about 9 ft 2, if we add the top of Sauron's spikes on his helmet we talking nearly 10 feet tall lol, vader is either 6 ft 8, or 6 ft 5, so he's looking up to Sauron's shoulder, even Sauron's mace must be about 6 ft tall lol
Feel a big turn-off with PVC heads for this and Boba and upcoming Jango. At first I thought the reason was to achieve the metallic effect with no hassle.
But after seeing Iron Studio's Vader there's no doubt polystone can do it as well. SS just chose a easy path which I think in the long run would hurt themselves.
Save money for me, no Vader, no Boba Fett, no Jango Fett.

I don't get why PVC is an issue. Is there a presumed quality issue with something PVC? I've got the Vader and BF PFs, both helmets look fantastic. Isn't what it looks like the most important thing?
Honest question, why is polystone/resin revered as the holiest of materials to build statues out of? I don't understand the logic and I'm trying to understand.

Stigma, they used to degrade a lot and the color injected was just single tone. They can look much better now, don't degrade for a long time, and are better for higher detail. People not liking "plastic" is holding back statues from looking better.
Ok, picture this: a statue which not just the head but the whole body is PVC as well. Would you gladly buy this piece and treat it as statue if it looks great? I won't and I can't because I will treat it as toy and not statue. And the price should be hottoys price range.

I also have both Boba and Vader PF's, and I see nothing wrong with the head pieces, they look stunning and a home run for sideshow on both these great pieces
And for you my friend, imagine this: from now on all SS's PF will be polystone body with PVC head. Are you still ordering just like nothing happened? I can't, I just can't. I will just stop collecting from SS immediately.

I don't mind if the head is a PVC piece, the boba fett PF head looks magnificent. Im getting Kyloren if the head is painted and crafted well pretty happy in what is being offered, the same Vader PF that lights up, when before PPL were going mental if it does not light up, for me I say sideshow made sure went all out on this piece and what I am seeing of both boba and vader its a home run.
