Amid all the comparisons I thought I would post these, just for grins and giggles.

Nice job Darthrazz.

 

[MaulFan]

off the topic a bit but I just wanted to know what is the difference between ANH and ESB vader? I mean, is there really that big of a difference that ssc would make a ESB version?

ESB/ROTJ is different enough to warrant at least another Vader. They're not the exact same either, so you could do all 3 OT Vader's, but if only one other besides ANH is going to be done, I'd like it to be ROTJ with reveal.

is this your actual collection, and if so are you gonna mass produce any of the domes if they fit ssc vader better.

They were mine at one point , I had all of these when I was making my own custom Vader. I've since sold most of them. All I have left are the ERTL and Hasbro Dome, I'll hold on to them till I get my Sideshow Vader. I really have no way of producing them, but if any knows how, I'll gladly lend the Domes out.

I would say, the Ertl dome is closest in the pics to ANH style dome.

Gotta say... IMO the helmet is just lame.

Here's why IMO:
1) Too small dome
2) Too long neck
3) Too short helmet (nowhere near the shoulders!)
4) Too small gap at the "ears"
5) Too small head in proportion to d body. Isn't his helmet always bigger than normal??

All in all, just too damn disappointing. Say all u want about film / design accuracy.... just doesn't look right. I'd wait out for another version of this guy, just like luke... hopefully they fix the helmet!!

I probably will get Vader sometime down the road but I agree with the helmet issues, other than that it looks deadly. But, in any case the helmet really makes the costume and I think it throws this one off.

Look at him in his wee little boots

Size comparison is crazy showing the height of Vader. Most impressive! But, that helmet again

It is, and it has the peak which is nice also.

Hey MaulFan, any chance of getting a pic of the cape chain, or did I miss it??

THANKS!

Now that's a good looking Vader dome.

 

[IrishJedi]

ERTL Vader dome FTW! And they made that, what... 30 years ago?

S^^t...
I have one of those kits at my parents house...

In Mexico!!!
I'll have to get it, next time I visit...

Maybe it's the fact that it is white, but that ERTL dome looks weird...

I think the top part looks too skinny compared to the flared part.

 

[Ambrosoli]

No grilling, we reserve that for you Valfar.

I do want to see a picture of him attaching this to his ROTS Vader.

Jajaja... waiit. I´m telling you that the Sideshow Vader is a really good figure, but most of all, is in scale with the other's figures and that´s gives more points. Buuut in overall, is far for being the ultimate Vader and If I compare 1 on 1 with the Medicom figure (Classic or prequel), IMO, the medi kick his ass. Size matters not
But until I see the Sideshow figure IN HAND I will keep saying this.. and I will not enter in endless debate about it! I think more than 100 pages are enought XDDD


aaa, before I forget it.. I you have to improve important parts (like a dome, jeje) in a figure that cost more than $100 I think we have a problem.

I would say the same about the Medicom Vaders.

 

[shockwave]

Yep Sideshow still has an ESB, ROTJ and ROTS to make. I could see them taking notes and changing things around for future releases.

But honestly, figure looks awesome... and its only in a few shots that the helmet looks off to me. Overall I'm very pleased with what Sideshow has been able to do and hoping this and some of the recent figures are a sign of good things to come.

Well maybe next year SS will release another Vader. 2010-30th anniv of TESB...

Just a guess....

 

[Valfar]

These are a couple pics of that Ertl dome painted up.

For me, the helmet's size and proportions are off enough to be disappointing after four years of waiting. Looking for the ultimate 1/6 Vader to display is what led me to Sideshow's product line in the first place, back in 2005.

I think it would be fair if Sideshow admitted they messed up and offered the helmet/mask shown at SDCC as a separate piece. Again, why mess up your flagship product when you had it right the first time?

That's assuming they messed up. The final helmet is so different from the SDCC helmet, it's as much likely LFL said change it as a screw up, and if LFL said change, Sideshow cannot give us anything other than what LFL greenlights, no matter how much they may not like it or know how wrong it really looks, they are slaves to it, I'm sure it sucked for Andy and Sideshow to be told to change a great Mace Windu sculpt, but what the great LFL says must be.
