I dunno, I think I might stick with my Hasbro Vader.

 

[Moe Szyslak]

It's a 1/6 scale figure. I'm predicting $99. If you really think about it, I'm sure production costs are no more than the 12" Indy

 

[The Josh]

What? Can you do that?

Get a few extra Vaders to pass around to some of the boys, will ya?

Yeah, attendees can PO everything in advance.

 

[BlueLeader]

Never thought this day woud come...finally Vader and a Stormie.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, attendees can PO everything in advance.

Good god -- that's crazy talk!

Get me a Vader please.

 

[Entropy]

I'd be really surprised to see Vader less than $100. Even the new lackluster DCD Sandman is $125.

Last time I checked, Indy wasn't armored. Surely there's going to be more costs involved in something like this.

I just figure w/ Indy's jacket and all the accessories. Vader has shoulderpads and a cod piece. they should be about equal. If armor is what brings the price up, then the Stormtrooer should cost even more.

 

[icruise]

How about the helmet though? Seems like it would be more costly and difficult to do right than a normal human head (which is what Sideshow has been doing for years).

 

[abake]

I'm very excited about Vader, Stormie and the Rebel dude.
The helmet on Vader does look a bit small, but hopefully it'll look better with more pics or will get fixed.
If not, I'm ordering a Hurricane Helmet upgrade!

 

[pjam]

It'll be fun to see this figure displayed at the SSC booth tomorrow...

I'm sure a lot of guys will post pics here too! Right J1?

 

[Kuzeh]

I'd say for now, hold onto Medi-Vader, could be sometime, if ever, before SSC offers a ROTJ reveal Vader, assuming that's the one you have, and that's a cool Vader to have.

Yep, that's the one...but who am I kidding, I like all things Vader, might as well keep 'em both!!

 

[Sachiel]

I was hoping they wouldn't go with the "idealized" dome.

Still, not bad (the prototype that is). Is it the new body?

 

[MorgulTongue]

Good God those servers will burn like Vader's funeral pyre!
Time for some serious thinking on cancellations of other product.

 

[Joker]

I'm not impressed with Vader. Especially the helmet. I think Medicom did it better, but I'm sure I'll be blasted for saying this... Oh well.

 

[abake]

No, I actually think Medi has a better helmet so far, but I'll just wait and see.

That's what I was thinking myself, but now that you agree with me I may have to have to reconsider...

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Yeah, gotta wait and see more pics. I think Medi's helmet looked better from what I can see of Sideshow's but Medi never made an ANH Vader to really compare it to either.
