Indeed, it looks great. I like the museum pose.

The head is really hard to get on, heck I'm not even sure mine is on all the way but I'm afraid to push down on it any harder.

I just read those words and my mind went straight to the gutter. LOL!

Where's my medication.....

You guys are killing me over here!

Glad I could make your day brighter. Lol

Putting that head on sure is a pain in the neck. (pun intented)

More pics of mine below. I have some minor nitpicks (such as the head a bit too deep in the helmet and the gloves a bit too shiny IMHO) but I'm really satisfied with this purchase. It simply does the job. By some aspects, it even makes my Mythos Vader look pale in comparison (literally ).

Kotobukiya totally killed their sales with poor promo shots. The statue looks way better in hand.

Plus, it's funny (or sad?) to see how Koto went the extra mile to sculpt and paint details just to hide them by glueing the helmet on. I removed it today and there's a peg that still holds it firmly in place, even with the glue gone.

Anyway, here are some pics for those of you who are curious:

And one more with the helmet on:

The statue looks really cool

Indeed, and like you said, the pre-order pictures look like crap.

I don't think it helps that Vader is the last character that needed to be revisited in this scale in the first place. It's frustrating, because they'll probably look at the sluggish sales for this one and decide the demand for the larger ArtFX statues isn't there, when the truth is that a lot of collectors just weren't very jazzed about this piece. Hopefully the Kylo Ren statue will do better for them.

Thank you sir

 

[Iam_Dabatman]

That's a great deal! I paid twice that and still think it was worth it.

Damnit! I decided not to get this, but at that price, can I still say no?
