I wonder if that's because medi has a removable helmet with a HS in it? I mean, in order to make it all fit, some parts of the helmet sculpt need to be tweaked somewhat to accomplish that.

No, it's just off, the whole shape to the front of Vader's mask sucks once you start moving from a front view towards a profile, and the areas that are off are nowhere near where it goes into the dome, and really, even though it's not a reveal head, Sideshow's dome comes off, so that function doesn't affect the mask either.

Medicom's was the best, certainly better than Hasbro, but there was room for Sideshow Vader to be closer to the movie. Slight dome issues aside, they've just about hit a bullseye with it. I'd like to see alternate domes on future Vaders if this isn't permanent LFL dictation (if so, screw LFL), but as far as the mask goes, it's perfect, adjust the triangle on the bottom accordingly for ESB/ROTJ and that's it, keep every other detail the same.
 
Here we go!

Looks like Vader may be too tall :huh

:lol:lol:lol, man, if that was ever in doubt.
 
Well, first off, it's a Sideshow Vader with a Medicom Fett, who is on the shorter end of Medicom figures.

Secondly, Vader's going to be taller than that photo even with a Sideshow Fett, but it'll be much closer, add another inch at least to the Medicom Fett.
 
some have been saying vader's too tall.
and many have been saying the ht predator is too short.

maybe they should switch bodies or somethin. :lol

btw, that medi fett looks ridiculous next to ss vader.
medi sure has a weird sense of scale. :confused:

I know its medi and SS vader and fett respectively, but even if the SS fett was as tall as the SS stormie, he would be much taller in comparison to that photo. The SS stormie comes to Vaders shoulder.:rolleyes:
 
Boba and Lando look about the same height...

I'm just wondering what is right...cause the height of Vader seems about right compared to the ANH pics...this ESB pics makes him look shorter

:huh

I think Bulloch must have been taller than Stormtrooper actors or they took measures to give him some height beacuse they thought he shouldn't look less imposing next to Vader. I'd say he's got a good 6" on the Stormtrooper here.

And without question, the Sideshow Darth Vader figure in relation to Sideshow's entire Star Wars line is taller than Prowse as Vader to respective characters, by about 1/4-1/2 inch.

I know, I was j/k

I used to have this japanese laserdisc magazine (remember laserdisc?) decades ago that had a pioneer ad in it that has george lucas standing with the star wars gang (mostly empire people, no rebels) all line up in a line, kinda like a police line up. wish I still had that picture because it would probably solve all these how tall is so and so to who and what not. :lol
 
MaulFan: I don't suppose you have a Marmit Fett?

It would be interesting to see a comparison shot of the him with Vader since Marmits are more or less in scale with Sideshow SW.
 
Can you pose him with a Red Stripe beer bottle, a roma tomato and a vintage Tiffany lamp? Please? :lol
 
I've got a Marmit Fett on a Dragon body. I'll be sure to take pics when my Vader gets in. By the way, the marmit Fett is for sale if anyone wants him.
