A pic of your setup with those 3 would be amazing
Unfortunately I'm still rearranging the collection, and not sure if the 3 statues will ever be together on the same shelf.
For now the IS and Attakus Vader are on the same cabinet, but I believe it is most likely temporary, because I'd like to move the Attakus to a cabinet that I intend to build quite soon. But here they are for now
Wow! Great setup!Unfortunately I'm still rearranging the collection, and not sure if the 3 statues will ever be together on the same shelf.
There's a huge difference between the IS 1/4 and Attakus 1/5.

In size there is a big difference. The same with accuracy. HT is the most accurate, then comes IS, and the last is Attakus

Yes, it?s late. But, nevertheless, a piece like this deserves to be celebrated.

Agreed. Such a nice piece, it has an amazing presence too. It's one of the first things people notice when the see my figures/statues.
That's so true. I have close to 20 Star Wars PFs and the IS Vader gets the most attention from visitors. People are stunned by it.
As a side note, surprisingly the Tatooine 3PO and R2 set is a close second. MYC Yoda is third.

I love seeing everyone's display with this piece.
I agree about the sand base Droids PF set. It is stunning! I think it's a quintessential piece for any Star Wars collector!

There are a few things anyone owing Iron Studios Vader can do to have a better statue for display:
- Use a few furniture pads on the base, it seems it is missing them, and they help not to scratch the furniture and display shelves, as well as the base of the statue;
- Steam the capes, the final result is simply amazing, without the creases from the folding. The cape can now be positioned naturally next to Vader;
- Avoid using alkaline batteries in the base, use Panasonic Eneloops instead. And remove all the tiny cell batteries anyway.

Anyone having issues with the saber not lighting up all the way? When I turn it on, it light ups all the way very briefly and then it?s about an inch short of the end.
Have you replaced the batteries it came with with new ones? The original ones were crap.

Yep that was the problem. Never really use the light up features so I didn?t think it?d be the batteries. Thank you.

I replaced my batteries but the saber still fades out in a few minutes...same with chest box and belt boxes.
Looks like you got a faulty one, then.

The first thing you need to do when receiving a collectibles with batteries is to remove them and get quality ones. I prefer Panasonic Eneloop rechargeables as they don't leak. I never put cell batteries inside my collectibles, those are a pain in the ***.

You know what...I’m a bonehead. It’s actually my Hot Toys 1/4 scale Vader that has the saber and chest/belt box issues. I replaced my Iron Studios Vader base batteries with a plug in conversion. However my chest box does stop blinking in sequence and freezes.
