Official Sideshow 1/6 ANH Darth Vader PHOTO Thread

[pixletwin]

I am just weird I guess.

I have two stormies. Both of which I gutted and stuck HT heads underneath. I don't pose them with the their helmets off.... I just like knowing that there IS a head underneath.

I know. I am a freak.

Although with ROTJ Vader I likely would display him laying down with Luke hovering over him and holding the pieces of his face mask.

I love SS products,
their SW and LOTR figures are a highlight of my collection,
but I don't think this was LFL intervention...

I mean... there's literally dozens of Darth Vader products that have the right
shaped dome...
Why would LFL ^^^^ up SS's?...
Specially since all other SS Vader products have a better looking helmet (not perfect, but better than this one...)
Bronze Statue, Diplomatic Mission and even the PF looks better than this one...

That's what keeps bugging me. Of all the things on a Vader that could be screwed up, why did it have to be the helmet on this figure?

 

[Fia2k9]

SSC screwed up. It's obvious. What bugs me is that we've waited the better part of a year for an f-up? They don't deserve excuses, we deserve a decent figure.

I 2nd that, but with said I'm sill looking forward to getting mine.

 

[LOPIE]

I hope they dont screw-up Boba Fett and Jango.

I can't believe the complaining is still going strong and its still 2-3 weeks away
before even start to have Vader in hand .

Chicken Little as a very strong pressence on these forums.



Yes in viewing the PICTURES the dome does appear to be a little on the small
side but wouldn't it make more sense to actually have it in hand before condeming it ?


This is bar-none the best 1:6 Vader on the market today or ever .

Call me crazy, but I think we're getting more than just a "decent" figure...
And some of us have been waiting 32 years for a figure that looks this good.

SST's Vader is too tall, the helmet is too small and has the wrong shape, wrist articulation is not the best, it has no ankle articulation due to the stiffness of the boots (although that could be a plus considering the weight of the figure) and the saber is too red instead of pinkish.

It still is more in scale to other 1/6 scale figures than Medicom's, seems to be better overall and is cheaper, and it is in a different galaxy compared to Hasbro's offerings.

Can't wait to get mine!

I don't think anyone is complaining we are just nit picking the hell out of Vader its all Maulfans fault. If he only posted more pics for us to look at I'd have something else to do other then ^^^^^ all over Vader.

 

[Anzik]

I can't believe that the difference in the helmet is SSC's fault. They already had a sculpt done and ready to be made into molds.
So just for kicks and giggles they paid to have another sculpted?
I don't think so. LFL stepped in and ordered the changes so that all the helmets match more closely.
Now why would LFL do something so silly? God only knows but its certainly typical of them.

 

[LOPIE]

For all the money we pay Sideshow, we at least deserve a clear explanation from them about what really happened.

It'll never happen.

Because that $120 is just sooooooooo much money.

 

[Darthrazz]

It is for many of us.

Who says LFL will let them discuss it. If it wasn't for Andy B we wouldn't know about their rejections of the Mace and Bespin Luke sculpts.

 

[Darthrazz]

We also at this point, other MaulFan, have never seen this thing! Granted maulfan's pictures have been amazing, but when i have it in hand I'll pass judgment on it.

 

[Kuzeh]

Times 8477...

 

[thenammagazine]

If that's the case, you should be spending it on necessities vs. toys.

Times 8477...

How many did you order?!

 

[Memnoch]

Screw everyone. Im getting this figure for probably $40 shipped so to me this Vader will NEVER be topped and the dome looks like its covered in gold.

 

[Darthrazz]

If that's the case, you should be spending it on necessities vs. toys.

This is a necessity!

 

[DinoLast]

I think what is throwing the likeness off is that the dome is sitting straight, it was usually seen at an angle during ANH like so...

Its a small mod I will more than likely be doing to mine.

How hard do you think it will be to mod the angle?
