Duel of fates Diorama

[The Josh]

I would love to see a dio of those two going at it and I think it will happen eventually.

I'd love one either from early on in the duel where Sidious is looking down at Yoda with his saber held one handed behind his head for a swing and that maniacal smile on his face, like the GG mini bust, or Yoda and Sidious using all there might to push the Sith lightning at each other.

 

[The Josh]

Those would be cool especially the sith lightning one just because it would be in the senate pod.

 

[MaulFan]

Ya, my only fear is they'll probably feel Sith lightning too hard to pull of and get collectors to like the result and just go the saber route. I hope not because I woudl also love a dio of Vader beside the Emperor watching as he kills Luke with lightning.

pics or not?

With lights, frying sounds, and smoke effects? Oh yeah! :emperor

Well, maybe since these are done differently than the 1:6th it might be more likely to happen. Being as these are sculpted polystone and painted. If that makes sense.

It does, I hope they do it, and even in 1/6 I'd be fine with what they came up, but they may worry what the overall fanbase would think. A lot of people around here have voiced they'd fine it molded lightning cheesy, probably even a painted dio, so who knows.

What I really hope for is inclusion of LED light in some of these pieces, would really make them pop more.

 

[The Josh]

I'm sure its a tricky line to walk making the lightning look "real". Especially with as vocal as SW fans are.

I'm with ya there! I'd love to see some LED stuff used on the dios like they've done with the PF's.

Man, this thing is tough to photograph. It's difficult to get the full effect without a 360.

Yes, it fits in a Deltof...

This isn't representative of how you'd arrange the figures - but it does show that you have some latitude...

 

[The Josh]

Damn! Thats freaking awesome Dave!! Cannot wait to get it.

What # did you get?

 

[Darth Madden]

That is pretty sweet.... now I may need one as well... crap.

 

[LOTRFan]

Looks like a very nice piece.

Totally agree, it was about "wow look at Yoda!" There just wasn't any relationship between Dooku and any of the 3 Jedi really, and you only learn of Yoda's relationship at the end of the duel, might have added something if the Padawan part was established before sabers crossed. That lack of relationship carried over into ROTS, I still didn't feel like there was anything going on other than a stepping stone duel to clear out one apprentice for Anakin to rise.

Great pics Dave... and in the recent SW Insider they rank the top 10 lightsaber fights...

#10 Obi & Anakin vs. Dooku (ROTS)
#9 Obi vs. Darth (ANH)
#8 Obi vs. Grievous (ROTS)
#7 Qui-Gon & Obi vs. Darth Maul (TPM)
#6 Yoda vs. The Emperor (ROTS)
#5 Mace vs. Palpatine (ROTS)
#4 Luke vs. Vader (ESB)
#3 Yoda vs. Dooku (AOTC)
#2 Luke vs. Vader & The Emperor (ROTJ)
#1 Obi vs. Anakin (ROTS)

Number 1 is obvious but #7 & #3 need to be at least reversed I'd think...

I would love to have a statue of Mola Ram in scale with that Qui-Gon.

Is this based on CG goofiness?

 

[The Josh]

You mean the whole poll or just that one?

 

[MaulFan]

Here's how I'd rank things.

1. Obi-Wan vs. Anakin ROTS
2. Luke vs. Darth Vader ESB
3. Luke vs. Darth Vader and The Emperor ROTJ
4. Obi-Wan vs. Darth Vader ANH
5. Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon vs. Darth Maul TPM
6. Yoda vs. Darth Sidious ROTS
7. Mace vs. Palpatine ROTS
8. Obi-Wan and Anakin vs. Count Dooku AOTC
9. Obi-Wan and Anakin vs Count Dooku ROTS
10. Yoda vs. Dooku ROTS
11. Obi-Wan vs. General Grievous ROTS

 

[The Josh]

That's about right for me as well. I might move Obi-Wan vs Vader from ANH up to #3 but that might be more due to ROTS than anything.

Lets hope the next VS or diorama is one of the OT duels.
