Or keep the TIE Pilot as is and stand him next to Sideshow's Vader.
Or Hot Toys' for that matter.

What's the verdict on the height of that one?
I've seen different comparisons and in some he looks only a shade shorter.

Same here. I think I also heard someone say that the Stormtroopers are the right height against him. So...
I still want two. That may be what happens with my unmodded ANH Sideshow Vader. They'll definitely work well with him.

Thanks for the review. Interesting tidbits about the sculpt and paint apps
Tie Pilot looks a bit oversized on multi levels....

My Luke arrived about an hour ago.
I really like him - tailoring is excellent and even the head sculpt isn't as horrific it appears in photos, which is what I expected.
However, there are a couple of issues that put a dampener on things.
When I took him out of the box something dropped out of his helmet. Turned out to be part of the yellow plastic visor guide rail.
He was packed with the helmet twisted a bit sideways and the visor partly up. Now there's only a little bit of the guide rail left attached.
Then I discovered his right leg was floppy. Won't hold a pose, but springs back into a neutral position. Rocking the figure by the torso causes the right leg to swing, whereas the left is perfectly solid.
Pretty crap for one of Sideshow's most expensive and least equipped figures.

Why did Sideshow make the helmet so big?

I'm quite liking the look with the gauntlets on at the moment.

Love the look helmet on but helmet off paint just not up to price imo. I would've loved xtra cargo box xtra's for dagobah at 240.

I literally almost teared up seeing you have both blue and brown Han Hoths on display. It's like the world felt like a better, happier place in that moment.
And Luke X-Wing looks really nice there, and it's interesting he seems to be a touch taller than Luke Hoth?
I think I like the hands-holding-gloves look best, though those big gloves do look cool on.
And... did you touch up Ben's beard?
Disappointed no codes / Black Friday sales from anyone to drop the price on this figure. I want the exclusive but won't pay retail or retail minus $20 for it. Get in the $200 -$210 range and I'll happily pick it up. So the wait continues...either for price drop or HT version
Yeah, Popcultcha would have been the only chance, but they still don't have it in-stock (aka lurking in the back room) so no deal. It would have been around US$190 shipped with ex rate and 20% discount.

That would be the regular edition too. Noticed they have the SS Ex Hoth Luke and the odd HT exclusive; been meaning to ask if they can get others.
It's a bit random - they said they had the Biker Scout EX then had to e-mail people and say it was just the reg.
The Luke X-wing EX accessory is probably one of the most underwhelming since the DX Vader's wires wrist stump. A very odd choice given the pricepoint.

One small, but very welcome detail that hasn't been mentioned in this thread is the tiny magnet in the collar of the suit.
"Not as clumsy or random as a snap fastener or Velcro; an elegant solution for a more civilized age."
The collar tab closes flush, and stays closed.
This could be where the extra $39.99 in development costs went!

Is the magnet sewn in, Kuat? I was on the fence about this figure, but you've got me intrigued now with the magnet collar--space age stuff.
