New 1:6th Star Wars figure from Original Trology

Why are you guys so insistent that its not Vader?

 

[MaulFan]

Why are you guys so insistent that its not Vader?

Because if I don't fight it, I'll get so excited that it will be, and when it turns out not to be, I'll be let down, if I set the bar low, it can only go up.

I'm walking into tomorrow expecting something random and unexpected, if SSC delivers Vader, I'll give a big HOLY **** to it, just like every other treasured piece they've unveiled to me, like the first time I saw the Sidious sculpt in detail

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

I'm just throwing stuff out there. I want Vader as much as the next guy.

Whatever it turns out to be, tomorrow should prove to be one hell of a day.

 

[Wor-Gar]

"A mysterious officer in black, commanding your attention...on the 'morrow. But alas, my view is blocked by the span of space and time."

A long time ago, in a galaxy far.... It does indeed sound like VADER to me. I can't imagine who else fits this clue, except a TIE pilot, but they don't really command your attention.

I won't be surprised if it's NOT Vader... but I must say my HOPE is up!

Thank you....

Now join the Vader Congo!

 

[icruise]

Yeah, my main reason now for thinking that it's Vader is that Sideshow has to know how all of these clues sound, and they must know that hinting at Vader and announcing something else would really piss a lot of people off.

I was FINALLY able to reset my password! Have been wanting to post for weeks!!

Anyway, I just watched the video, is it just me, or does someone lowere the hilt of Vader's lightsabre into frame for a second, or am I seeing things?

and my vote is for Vader.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Now join the Vader Congo!

I would... but I'm still not sold. That word "officer" really throws me.

Maybe its' MAD MAX...

 

[Qrest Fourstar]

just noticed that what I thought was the sabre was the microphone.

de de de!


Anyway, is'nt "Darth" a title of rank?

I think that's a shotgun mic actually...

Darth doesn't mean anything, it's just random like "Hey, Darth ____ sounds good, I want to be called that" "Hey, Darth is a cool name!"

 

[JGouse0498]

Seriously ask yourself if Sideshow needs an event like SDCC to promote the most awesome 1:6 Vader ever made?

I don't think so.

That's what I'm saying, Marc. They DON'T need a big event to promote, so I think it's very possible we'll see it in the next two days. Vader stands on his own merits.


...although I am very partial to my ROTS Medi Vader...


Seriously though, I am very curious to see what Sideshow pulls off. If it's on par or better than my Medicom, I'll order it without hesitation.

Darth doesn't mean anything, it's just random like "Hey, Darth ____ sounds good, I want to be called that" "Hey, Darth is a cool name!"

 

[Darth Madden]

I don't know why but when I heard the storm part it made me think of Dune. Were there any officers in black in those books? Were there even any storms in Dune? Why did I think that?

 

[jungle jom]

Was anything ever said to the effect...

"Inform General Vader that the rebels have surrendered" or whatever?

 

[Shropt]

I again must say that there is no way it is Vader. Vader will be used as a way to promote the site and they will tease him for a most beforehand. If he is amazing and they say he will be he could easily become a poster-child for SSC.

My guesses for tomorrow is an Imperial troop 3-pack in the vein of the Rebel Troopers. Yes, I myself would not call this awesome, but it just seems like the only choice when we are given the clue about men in black that command power.

 

[Sachiel]

I wouldn't hope too much for Vader. Just in case.

Are you serious? Darth is short for DARk lord of the siTH.

Man in black that commands your attention, not power.

Are you serious? Darth is short for DARk lord of the siTH.

And if you move around the letters in Sith it spells ****

 

[Jango56031]

Are you serious? Darth is short for DARk lord of the siTH.

Actually I believe it is just the title given to a sith lord. i.e. Darth Vader, Darth Sidious, Darth Plagus, Darth Maul and so on. I would think the Jedi equivalent is the title of Master. Master Yoda, Master Kenobi, Master Windu.

We hear these titles used often in the prequels and not so much in the OT. They refer to Vader as Lord quite often in the OT.

What's the difference between a SS figure and the Medicom version of the same figure?
