Official 1/6th Darth Vader Thread

[MaulFan]

I hope we get a BTS shot of the modded body for this, the shot we've seen of the armor body looked way to skinny, I never thought it could be Vader, so I'm curious what mods helped beef it out, cuz he body suit doesn't seem too thick, the arms are bent with ease.

Best part is, being on the new body, neck articulation should be pretty good.

Where did that picture come from? Besides IGN I mean. Are there more?

Vader looks beautiful.

I'm sure it's one of probably 10 SSC proto images. IGN probably liked it best for it's press use.

Must repost...

Looks a lot like the Marmit one there, although, dare I say, the helmet still looks smallish. By helmet I mean dome, not the mask. It's that same problematic angle.

Interesting, cuz I thought his whole helmet head area looked larger in the image than any of the others.

I know, I think I looked at the Marmit pic too long.

We just finally saw a great glimpse of him today, and already I'm going nuts wanting it in hand

I like my Medi Vader, but something about this one just feels so much more, next level, I crave its quality.

Hard to tell but did they actually make his saber pinkish? How it appeared on screen back then, if so cool.

 

[lerath666]

those of you at SDCC, are they letting you pre-order v ader already, or are you being made to wait till the 1st?

I'd say it's intent or they're using a different material for it, maybe frosted like the blue and green sabers have always been done.

Here's Sidious against the same backdrop, much darker here.

I hope its red like Sidious and not bubble gum pink

 

[Wor-Gar]

Too bad they didn't make the saber orange like it really first appeared in 1977.

 

[The Chaver]

OK, this is better!

Still need that side on view, but he looks pretty good. Not sure about the non-clear eyes though....
And I wish I could see the cut of the seam of the cape as it hangs over the front of the upper chest...not showing those bright shoulder bells....
It's the little things....

They got the cod piece too high just like the PF which I never liked.I hope I can pull it down to give Vader's cash and prices thier rightful protection.

Apparently no preordering of Vader or Stormies at SDCC. Bring on the server frying.

haha, the way it should be

 

[MaulFan]

This will be a time long remembered, it has seen the end of con preorders and shall soon see the end of Sideshow servers.

Man, this is gonna bring back memories of both Kenobi's, Kit Fisto and apprentice Vader. Wonder what the sell out time is gonna be on Vader?

If he's 1977, my money is on 10 minutes or less.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

I usually loathe these PPO's, but this one's gonna be exciting. Some men just want to watch the servers burn.

 

[Memnoch]

I'm praying he is 1977. I see no reason why it won't be. And I'm not concerned about missing out as I got every PPO from ROTS Obi-Wan down til now. If Clone Kenobi was a five minute sell out then Vader will be no trouble for me.

 

[MaulFan]

Was Clone Obi-Wan 5? If that's so, then I'd wager Vader 5 or less.
