Gorgeous pictures, Maulfan.

Don't do it!!

That'd speak for itself. Although Medi only has a ROTJ Vader and a ROTS.

 

[FLOSI]

Magnificent....

This picture reminds me of the vintage Vader poster.

I thought the same thing.

Found this picture if it helps anyone ? Its from a well known replica prop site.

 

[barryo]

finally i get to view the pics..........holy ^^^^...............

he's ginormous............

i think a few of us might have to do some adjusting to heights of shelves.........i know i will have to anyway.

Do the ankles have articulation... or is the whole foot a solid piece (I know you already commented on the shin armor)?

I'm sure you'll cover this in your write up Sean. But what's overall posability like?
From what's been said/shown I'm guessing no wrist articulation at all (bar rotation) and none at the ankles either? Lack of movement at the ankles will be a shame, I always think it makes a huge difference in deeper more action orientated poses.

Still gettin' him though!:chew

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, hoping the ankles articulate as well... especially since that seems to be a strong feature of the armored body. I'd say the wrists would definitely be out.

 

[paulcarson]

Quick question from me too, Sean. Is the head/ helmet as far down on the neck post as it will go ? I ask because I think that could be throwing it off too. If it was a little closer ( like a snug fit ) to the chest armour the back of the helmet would sit closer to the shoulders giving it more of the movie look.
(Of course I may be wrong , but it was just an observation.)

 

[Deckard]

How about a full picture from the back and a close up of the side angle of the helmet if you get some time?

 

[The Chaver]

Great minds

And no Photoshop tricks, the size difference IS that significant.

Wow, that's pretty pathetic!

 

[MaulFan]

For head size comparison, probably could be a bit bigger, but looking at other 1/6 heads next to it, I could also easily see Shaw's portrait fitting behind it.

I'd imagine he's got as much ankle articulation as Prowse did wearing the boots and shin guards.

This is a Medicom fanboys last stand. Bravo, Sideshow! This is the Vader to end all Vaders.

 

[The Chaver]

Yeah, the dome looks a little off but a great figure it still is. Maybe we'll get the bigger dome with the next release.

 

[MaulFan]

Here are some heavy lit shots of the Ex. hand.

And a couple of the unique right hand. Other than these 2, it's 2 sets for left and right, one full fist hand, one saber grip hand for each.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Mmmm...that chest plate looks deliciously matte!

Great pics, Maulfan!

 

[pixletwin]

Is that last hand the one you used with Antilles?
