Iron Studios 1/4 Darth Vader

[darth dennis]

So is this a "sarcastic" no to my question of fitting into the Detolf? I am trying my best to go through the thread but can't find anything. The dimensions on it says yes but others say its pretty big. I want that anchor to my display and its come down to this, SS Kylo or SS Fett. Any honest help or reply would be much appreciated.....

I believe that anyone who's limited to Detolf shelving has had to put this on top, but I'm not 100% sure. No way it fits with the doublehanded lightsaber pose...

For someone that has this pose, can they measure the overall width (span) of the figure? Its gotta work, I mean I want it to work dammit!
This is my setup that I just made and is currently getting filled (unboxing weekend for me)

Sorry. Don't think it'll fit inside. There are so many posts about how it barely fits in a Besta cabinet I just laughed. It does it on top of a Detolf thought.

No worries. I was trying my best to dig through the thread but couldn't find anyone mentioning it. I am strictly Hot Toy figures and now that my display is up I was thinking to buy that anchor piece for the bottom middle cabinet. Love this figure and from the dimensions listed, it should fit but I do not want to spend that money and try to make shift it. Perhaps Boba or Kylo PF would work instead and I still like those figures but man this one is something special. Congrats to all that have him!!

Waiting on Sideshow to send me a new arm to try out with the lightsaber.

Congrats Jkno!
You're gonna love it. I can't wait to see photos of it in your set up.

Right now, until tomorrow morning when they'll go to my car mirror, Vaders holding my dice from the Falcon.

Yeah! Great success [emoji3]

Thanks guys. Will show some pics very soon
That cape is humongous, enough for 3 Vaders. I think I'll steam it a bit to remove those creases

I highly recommend it. It helps a lot. It won't help the shear volume of the cape, as there is TONS of it, but it'll look much better with the wrinkles out.

May I ask what hand steamer you have? Just need a recommendation prior to ordering on Amazon.

I got this one for a few reasons. #1. The money helps the disabled #2. It works fantastic! #3. It's small, & doesn't take up a ton of space when not in use.

Steamed the cape. A lot of difference! Will make the final touches and take some pics later on today.

Iron Studios Darth Vader, a superb 1/4 statue. Wasn't sure at first if I like it, but seeing more pics online, decided to go for it.

It looks fantastic, it really deserved the 2017 Statue of the Year prize at Statue Forum. Accuracy is quite reasonable, better than other statues and figures by other companies, the materials used seem to be high quality. It is one big heavy piece! I like the less mixed media present on this statue, you only have the pleather belt and the two fabric capes with wire, everything else is polystone. And the polystone is well sculpted and painted, showing intricate details of the costume. Excellent way of weathering the capes with snow, so much better than the Mythos orange Vader weathering. The base is also very impressive on its own. I think this might be one of the BEST Star Wars statues ever made, definitely the best Vader for now!

Steamed up the huge cape to remove the creases and tried to pose it the best I could so far. I also added 4 furniture pads on the base to protect it from scratches. Left hand is hard to remove if wanting to change the stance, the magnet is quite powerful. Added 3 Panasonic Eneloop batteries instead of the regular AA's, and removed all those tiny cell batteries from the belt and chestbox, which I'm afraid could leak in time. Wish the electronics would have used a single button, or at least a different way to turn on the belt and the chestbox, but I rarely use lights so is kinda ok. Not sure why the eyes seem green.

Great review. & just as I thought, it looks great in your display!

Congrats serg!
I agree with all your points.
It's a gorgeous piece when seeing it in pictures but in-hand it's amazing.
I'll bet, once you finally got the cape where you wanted it, you stared at it for a good 10 minutes!

Nice review and great pics! Glad Vader finally made it to you, it's definitely a favorite in my collection.

How do you remove the small batteries from belt and chest box?

Chest box - small jewlers screwdriver
Belt box - on the side of one of the boxes, you'll see a small door. It'll slide open.
