It never ceases to amaze me how just one character can add so much to a display. Those pics of Vader/Praji/Stormie/Leia just absolutely take my breath away.
 
Can I make a photo request? Vader with ROTJ Luke standing behind him while Vader examines Luke's newly constructed lightsaber.

No problem, haven't really visited Jedi stuff yet, I'll be breaking out the Emperor again too.

I've been partly trying to show off tha ANH collection, outside of Jabba's palace, it's the most diverse and full collection of figures that go together in the line.
 
Holy ^^^^! Maulfan!
Can't imagine when you saw him fell down... wow...
well, at least we now know that we can easily replace the current dome...

That and the tone of the saber are my only nitpicks,
everything else is PERFECT!!!
Look at this!! Wow!! :rock

I think that shot, while great, also shows the glaring omission of Tarkin to the line-up. I guess it's just a matter of time. No big deal considering how long we've waited for Vader.

I agree, it is painful having Vader without him, at least ANH Vader. Really, Empire's the only Vader right now that could feel complete without an unreleased figure, ANH really could use Tarkin to counterpoint Vader, and ROTJ, while having Luke, could really use the Emperor and his throne.
 
It's funny that we had a Vader that is too small and now we have a Vader that is too tall! :lol

I mean, he's just frigging huge!
Maybe the body was built that tall to be used later on for Chewie?

At any rate, better too tall than too short.
 
So... Who's gonna start the custom dome runs? I'm in! Hurricane?? are you listening..? Might be the first time cutomizations could be in the works prior to the items release!

This is an AWESOME figure, and it should be for the price. The detail is simply stunning. But, let's be honest with ourselves, he's not just too tall, he's WAY too tall. But I don't really care! Seriously, if we can get this dome mod, he will be the ultimate (if he isn't already). I'd rather have this piece than the PF... just my op.
 
Here's a question I didn't see asked already: does he fit on an IKEA Detolf shelf? The vintage Kenner 'Large Size' Darth Vader just barely fits and the vintage 'Large Size' Chewbacca is too tall.

I don't think so, and frankly I'd be dissappointed with a Chewie on it. The uppr body proportions beef up like a muscular man, the body doesn't convey the stick-type body Chewie has, he'd end up looking like this.

Can't tell you, I don't have display furniture, all I can say is the top of his helmet is about 14 and 1/8" high.
 
Thanks for the speedy reply! If memory serves, the vintage Kenner one is 15" so Sideshow's should just squeek in there if no stand is used.

Do you think it's possible to put the armor on top of the cloth to create a more ESB looking Vader?

Probably, the slits for his arms are a snug fit, and I don't want to risk posing his arms to try and get it off enough to put it under, I'm sure someone will be try this once orders ship, but I'm not pushing this too far being a production sample.

Also, anyone looking to make an ESB version from it will have to paint the armor, the bands on the outside are there, but they're silver because they didn't have to be painted being hidden by his tunic.
 
Besides,
Sideshow said that they're not working on Chewie...
not for a long time...

They may not be close to making one, but I'm sure he crosses everyone's minds when they develop different things, I'm sure some thought was put in when making the Vader body, could we use it somehow.
