Official Sideshow 1/6 ANH Darth Vader PHOTO Thread

[Valfar]

You know, height matters from figure to figure but, having more accuracy to the on screen look means so much more to me as thats what makes me keep a figure in my collection longer..no matter what scale of collectible.

love that photo from ESB of Vader and Fett... I hope SST takes note of Fett's chest armor... unlike Medicom's, it is one piece.

Thats hard to say, looks to me that in ROTJ Boba had divided chest armor pieces and in that one pic you mentioned from ESB it looks one piece but, in the pic below it looks separate again.

will marmit's boba be fine by comparison to SS vader??

 

[lkhoe]

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!!

Helmet's not a deal-breaker for me.
I wish it was larger, but if it really does bother me in-hand, I'll see if Glenn is willing to make custom helmets.

Can you pose him with a Red Stripe beer bottle, a roma tomato and a vintage Tiffany lamp? Please?

He is. Said he's starting the moment he gets a Sideshow Vader.

Now THATS what I'm talking about!

Jeremy Bullock was about 5'10 in ESB
This website is all about celeb heights. I guess they made it, as most actors claim to be about 2" taller than they are.

He only looks about an inch taller than the 5'8" guy but you do shrink with age

Didn't 2 different actors play Fett in ESB? I think that the Carbonite scenes weren't Bulloch, but the actor that played Dack, who was shorter than Bulloch.

And that right there might answer the question as to why possibly there is two ESB Boba suits with one having a solid one piece chest plate and the other separate plates.

That's possible. I found it, John Morton, who did play Dak, also played Boba for some scenes on Bespin.

Yep, and Bulloch is vissible as an Imperial officer, the one holding Leia, so he couldn't be in two places at once!

is that finger prints and smears on the vader helmet? I was just reading a post about bandai's new SOC mazinger, and it comes with a pair of glove (or you pay for it, I don't know, but its cool they have that) for the collector to use so the figure can stay finger print/smear free.

I was just thinking the same!!
I got a Max Gokin Mazinkaiser that comes with those kind of gloves,
but they are kid size...


Anyway,
lets get this thread back in track people!!!
Enough of this Fett bickering!! It's pointless!!!

QFT This is an agonizing wait, and now that the "18 day" notice came out, time seems to have slowed Right now, I'm going back and forth on getting another Stormtrooper to flank Vader or getting my first Utapau trooper.

 

[Darthrazz]

Gentlemen, the wait is torture!!! It's like when Homer Simpson applied for a gun license and had to wait for 5 days????? "Five Days????? I'm mad now!!!!" Best Simspon line ever! "

I'm just listening to Tom Petty's "Waiting is the Hardest Part"

I LOVE that episode! Especially the part with him sitting in the lawn chair seeing targets he could be shooting at (Patty and Selma, Flanders on his lawnmower). It feels a lot like that.

That was such a great episode! So many funny one-liners..."oh, I see Bart gets to have a gun!" "I'll hide the gun where nobody ever looks...in the crisper"
