Nice pics Bagels.

 

[Entropy]

Shocked beyond shocked

He's yelling at the booth right now:

What do you mean? I don't understand? Why am I here? (*makes a break to grab the Vader on display and is wrestled to the ground*) Wait, stop! I'm The Josh!

Don't tase me bro!

*ZAP!* ZAP!*

But I'm the Superfan!

*ZAP!* ZAP!* ZAP!*

 

[Amir]

He really does tower doesn't he. Looks great and finally released after I get out of 1/6 scale collecting

 

[pixletwin]

Some great pics from RS:

Here is my first very quick round of Vader photos from Preview night.

Much more to come this weekend.

 

[Darth Cruel]

The lady that took my order said that she thought that the exclusive is a hand.

 

[devilof76]

Sometimes, I really hate it when I'm wrong. $125. As if.

 

[pixletwin]

About what? I guessed late Q1.

 

[The Mike]

Q2 is a little disappointing but my wallet should be happy.

 

[EVILFACE]

12" figure eh?

 

[The Mike]

I'm hoping that they are using 12" like the way DCD uses 1/6.....

 

[Amir]

Yeah it has to be a lot taller than that, looks a lot taller compared to the Stormie

 

[The Mike]

They should have posed him next to Praji or Old Ben for size comparison.

 

[icruise]

Of course they don't mean that he's literally 12" tall. The section for 1/6 scale Star Wars figures on the Sideshow website is called "12-inch figures."

Oops. I edited it. I meant what you guessed for the price.

What's with the roll-eyes?

Exactly. The boxes for Frodo and Sam call them 12" figures. Seems like 12" has come to mean 1/6.

Vader will be taller, no doubt.

 

[Darklord Dave]

Vader is 14" tall. Very much in scale with the Stormies. He is on a modified armor body with added articulation. This is the prototype, although the Stormies are pre-production.

$125 which is pretty reasonable considering other 1/6 and even mass market action figures nowadays (anyone hear that the 3 3/4 Joes will be $9.99?).

There are conflicting reports about if they can be ordered at the con, but obviously the exclusive will not sell out before the PPO. The exclusive is a force choke hand.

 

[jkno]

The exclusive is a force choke hand.

I could live without the choke hand, I hoped it wasn't an Interrogator Droid for exclusive.

BTW does anyone know if Vader will come with an Interrogator Droid, mouse Droid or something else?
