I wish there was time to wait for some in hand reviews (or even final production pics) before ordering this, but I have a feeling it will sell out long before then...

I completely agree with you, 100%. Some collectors certainly over analyze and it just sucks the fun out of it. There will almost always be minor little inconsistencies with the real life thing, hell I'm sure there's minor unnoticeable inconsistencies from scene to scene. We want the best product of course, but there's gotta be a little tolerance sometime or you'll never be satisfied....
Also it's all entirely subjective; some will see things that others won't and vice versa. As long as you as an individual are happy with the product and it's overall look, there's no need to listen to others ridicule you for liking it whether it's "inaccurate" or not. Why would others even care if I like a figure they don't?

Dude half the **** these "experts" chime in about i woulda never noticed without their "critique". There is such a thing as over-analysis, although it does come in handy at times so it's a double edge sword. But i still take a lot of what these "experts" deem as acceptable with a huge grain of salt.
My problem right now is this or 1/6 ESB Vader as i have no Vader and only need one.
I bet you could show them a picture of an actual screen used helmet and more than half would find something wrong with it. Those costumes changed so much that I bet there are no two scenes that they are all exactly the same.
I handle real stuff ever day...even own an EFX vader helmet...the closest thing to real deal..
Guess that makes me an expert too..
Did I just stumble into r\gatekeeping? Jeez.
Still though this is $300 more bang for the buck

Still seems like a lot when you consider you're paying an extra $300 for something only 6 inches taller.
That's like $50 for every additional inch of figure.

It’s not just 6” taller, it’s also the volume
The bigger figures have more presence. You don’t have to be right on it to view it.
I don’t even see my 12 figures anymore after owning P1 pieces.
Only thing I see 12” figures for are for big displays with multiple characters. That’s the only real way you’re going to notice them is when there in a group/theme.
And I’ll only ever own SW figures in 12”” format. Nothing else.

That’s exactly the reason i sold Jabba. He became the focal point of my entire display and that’s not what I was wanting.
You can spot my Vader but do you even notice my Jedi Luke? [emoji23]

But they aren't forum experts.
This place is a whole new level of expertise don't you know?
IS is so bad dude would sell it before disgracing his collection with it lol. Ridiculous

Oh your poor sensitive boy. Are you upset because I don't like the same statue you do? Now THAT is ridiculous.
Dude.. you trolling..

No, I'm not actually. I really just don't like the IS Vader. This HotToys version looks good though.

Looks nice but not sure it’s something I would want to spend that kind of cash on. I had the 1/4 Boba and wasn’t that impressed with it. It was hard to pose and never really could get it in a pose I was happy with. I think at this scale statues are best. It’s nice being able to move the figures but due to the size and weight it’s not like you can do mush more than a museaum pose anyway.
The stand sucks too btw. Doesn’t scream high end collectible and is junk like the Batman ones. I think Enterbay do better 1/4 stands.
