I know it's the wrong movie... but a Comlink fits perfectly into the grip hand.

No, shut them all down. Hurry!

Hopefully that's because they are planning on doing an ANH version...

I'm ok with the weathering, but i do wish it looked a little more like the proto.

Matrix your pictures are making me more and more excited for this one.

 

[Mandible]

Maybe they designed the grip hand for the mail-away limited run pants?

My problem with the weathering is that it’s really heavy handed and reddish. Which tints the whole thing a bit orange instead of gold. I hope it can be removed or toned down. I’ll probably practice on the spare face plate and see what can remove the red spatters without affecting the gold paint. I’ll start with cape cod cloth, then try acrylic thinner, then enamel thinner and see what works. I don’t want to remove it all, it’d be too hard to get in all those tiny spaces. I just want to remove the heavy use of it.

In all seriousness, what actually IS that thing sticking out there?

It's a ****.

His pictures made me buy QS Darth Vader.

Dumb question but do you think this will ever go in stock at SS before it gets waitlisted?

 

[matrix69]

I think he looks pretty good along side the old SS DELUXE R2 version as well.

Not a dumb question at all, I was wondering the same thing. I suppose it's possible. I can't believe it's not waitlisted yet, however the higher price tag might be a reason people are hesitant. I want to pre-order it but I have so many pre-orders and paypal credit to pay down.

Exactly. I just paid off a few orders that hit. I would love to see it go in stock.

Strange why they didn't paint the undersuit with wiring on the elbow joints.

I know that they would seldom been seen with his arms bent and posed up, but it still would have been a nice detail to include as it looks great on the knee joints.

 

[DarthAlias]

Tamashii doesn't have it either. I assume since it's the most used joint, worried about paint rub or can't make it plastic due to brittleness. Would be great though for added detailing.

Great catch! I don’t think most people would notice that but it does stick out now that you mention it.

HT did a great job on Threepio's face.

HT did a great job on Threepio's face.

The face sculpt was the main reason i wanted this version. I think it looks terrific!

 

[TheClient]

Hm. I had a feeling the HT had stubby legs compared to the SS, thanks for the comparison.

Which one is more accurate, proportions wise?
