Official 1/6th Darth Vader Thread

I don't think you have to worry about this one. There would be absolutely no reason for them to cast them in a different color and then pay to paint them as they are not two toned like the ST gloves.

Yes...except the Stormtrooper gloves and hand armor are two separate pieces that are glued together. Look carefully...there is no two toning going on. The armor and gloves are two different types of plastics.

I just checked my account, and my Exc. Vader shows "Item shipping soon" Wth? I thought Vader got pushed back?

 

[pixletwin]

Mine still says Processing.

You're obviously reading something wrong calm down.

 

[ProgMatinee]

Got the NOTice.

 

[Hydeous]

I'm still on waiting list.

LOL

I'll prolly pick this one up from the bay, if I don't make it to the list. Paying premium for this is definitely worth it!

 

[jkno]

My Vader arrived already, I'll post pics later

ARE YOU SERIOUS?!
IF SO, WHY SO SERIOUS?!
ALSO WHY SO CAPS?!


also also, got my 20 day notice.

All right! We might get all three versions of Vader!

Q: Are you planning to release a 1:6 scale ‘Empire Strikes Back’ and ‘Return of the Jedi’ versions of Vader? Now that the ‘New Hope’ Vader has been developed these seem like very quick ways to expand the line with minimal tooling.

A: Yes, Empire and Jedi versions of Vader do appear in our planning, but not in 2009. It would be ideal to reuse the Darth Vader body. Much of the armor will require new tooling - there are a fair number of changes between ANH and the other films, even if subtle.

Honestly, I just want a RotS Vader. The best IMO.

 

[AngryEwok]

Crap, now I have to decide which version I want. Actually, first I have to figure out what the differences are.

 

[pixletwin]

I want one to fight Ben. One to fight Bespin Luke. One to lay dying in Jedi Luke's arms.

One to stand with ROTS Sidious would be nice too.

 

[EVILFACE]

I just want one throwing ^^^^ at Luke.

I'm getting a ANH version, but he will be sold when the Empire one comes out.

 

[devilof76]

That's the best news I've heard all year.

 

[Dally]

ESB is my favorite Vader so I'll have to get that, ROTJ has the reveal head so I'll have to get that as well, and ANH Vader is the only Vader for the time being so I'll have to get that too!

You can never have too much Vader in a Star Wars collection though.

 

[pixletwin]

When ANH Vader comes he will be posed with my stormies flanking him. Until a new vader comes, then ANH Vader will be on perma-display fighting Old Ben.

 

[devilof76]

I wish they'd do some TIE pilots so I could have something flanking him. My Vader will be flankless.

 

[Dally]

Wow, just read the new Q & A and lots of great news for SW's fans. 2 more Vader's, another SW PF in '09 (I'm guessing Dooku), they're working on a C3PO PF(!), they at least acknowledged that the Stormtrooper is the most wanted SW PF, much needed mods to the Pro, a new EU 12" is on the horizon (which I strongly think will be the TFU Apprentice), and it sounds like they're working on a Commander Cody figure.

This is awesome news!! I'll get all Vader versions. Hopefully ROTJ will be full reveal.
