Official 1/6th Darth Vader Thread

[RICEaRONI]

Because teddy bears beating the "Empires best troops" is wrong.
Wookies wouldve been better.
Boba being beaten by a blind guy, flailing around is wrong.
Luke beating him outright wouldve been better.
Then showing a grappling hook coming out of the pitt as the skiff was moving away.
The biggest budget cant make Lucas a better writer.

quoted for much truth

I want ROTS because it would be a reveal. So ROTS is essential.

Please tell me you mean ROTJ.

 

[IrishJedi]

I care only as far as the license. I'd like to see ROTJ done and ROTS dead last so if for some reason that figure can never be, then oh well. OT Vaders are key, if ROTS can be worked in great, but it won't bother me if it can't.

100% agreed.

 

[The Mike]

I like to have all four Vaders but for me ESB and ROTJ are musts especially since one of my first geekdom lessons was to spot the differences in the armor from film to film

Looking at the fact they are saying "Vader's Body" means even the Armored Pro was tweaked so we'll probably get all four and a couple of conceptuals to make full use of the body by the time everything is said and done.

I meant ROTS but ROTJ is more essential. I want Shaw, but I want KFC Anakin as well.

In order of preference:

1) ROTJ
2) ANH
3) ROTS
4) ESB

Can't say I agree. They all need to be done to get that representation of Vader as he goes along. Actually, I'd love to have a shelf of Anakin, SDCC Vader, ROTS, ANH, ESB, and ROTJ.

 

[MaulFan]

I hate thinking like that, and I'm not saying it like in routing for SSC to lose it, it's just a fear, there's no guarantee to how long SSC will be making 1/6 Star Wars figures, and there are some I'm passionate about seeing them do and crossing fingers it happens before an end comes. Fortunately, that list is growing shorter, TPM Obi-Wan, AOTC Anakin and Padme, and ROTJ Vader are the tops on my list of not done yet and wanted.

You'd also need a Spirit Anakin too, no?

 

[The Mike]

Alas...that line up will never be complete with Ghost Anakin with Sebastian Shaw likeness.

Even nothing being able to do something translucent I'd love an Anakin with all new HS dressed in Jedi grab from ROTJ even if it is Hayden.

KFC Anakin thats great

I'd go

ANH
ROTS
ESB
ROTJ

Great minds my friend. Great minds.

I'm pretty sure we'll get ROTJ Vader before ROTS. A year or 2 ago it would have been a different story, though.

I agree, but I think you're missing my point that if SSC cannot deliver them all to us, ROTS is the one I'd like to see missed. I'm up for them all and would like that, but if someone said SSC can only do 2 more before the license is gone, I'd say ESB and ROTJ. It's fear of when this line will die and what'll be done before then that's driving my comment, not my SW fan perspective.

Right we don't know how long but I'd rather see ROTS Vader before others so I feel ya on that. I want TPM Obi-Wan myself and a AOTC Anakin to mix into my montage. Actually, I want a TPM Anakin as well.

You'd also need a Spirit Anakin too, no?

I'd take that actually.

Got mine. But I have a feeling its not the choice you would make.

Ok, but for a minute I thought I lost my ROTJ reveal supporter, I was going to beat you and post photos of you beaten up with your naked figures and hobbits laying around your knocked out body

I get that. I guess I'd just choose differently. My comments are as a bystander the same as you as well as a fan. Its one and the same IMO.

 

[MaulFan]

I want a TPM Anakin as well.

I'd take it, but because it's a unique body, the Hasbro one's actually sufferable, but AOTC Anakin from Hasbro, I cringe at those old bodies

 

[IrishJedi]

Got mine. But I have a feeling its not the choice you would make.

Actually, I'd want both a Shaw and a Hayden Spirit Anakin. Problem is, LucasRevisionismfilm won't allow the Shaw to be made.

Heck, they'll probably fix the Hayden one and actually put proper Anakin Jedi robes on him at some point anyway.

 

[The Josh]

I can't recall how good or bad either of those where but being Hasbro.
