Official 1/6th Darth Vader Thread

It'll be there, I'm praying that it's appropriately subtle.

It would be neat if you could only see it when light hits it a certain way eh?

(like in the movie)

 

[MaulFan]

That is possible. Given some factory mishaps we've seen before though, I'll settle for A) the tint being there, and B) it being the right ammount. Anything special after that is fine.

If it's subtle enough, it probably will only show under certain lighting. He didn't have red eyes, just a faint tint when light would show it, so in shadow, if the figure's painted right, it'll look black, but with the right light falling on the eyes it'll show red.

Hadn't seen this shot before. I'm stoked that the cape will hang over the bells like that. The original shots had me worried...

Thank you for your pre-order of the Darth Vader Episode IV 12 inch Figure – Sideshow Exclusive (item #21291) from our Star Wars Collection. We have heard from you fabric perfectionists!! In an effort to release the highest possible quality, we have gone back to re-do Vader's cape to remove visible stitch lines.....please be aware we do expect him to ship to our wherehouse within the next two years. You've already waited this long......

It's ironic how they generally sculpt heads too large and Vader's helmet too small. I am hopeful it's just the photograph. The Stormtrooper helmets look great.

I hope for the same. The stormie helmet looks perfect. Their armor does look a little clunky compared to the marmit one, but overall, its pretty fantastic. Vader looks excellent, so I hope its just the angle with that small looking helmet

What bugs me about that pic is they don't have his cape laying flat on the left like it is on the right.
