THAT;S COOL

I’m actually pretty irritated with this. I’ve thinned out my Mythos collection but kept this one but now they release it in the more preferred 1/4 scale.

I had the original mythos line back in the day and only held onto Fett because the scale bothered me. This one is interesting in 1/4 scale but I'm frightened at what the price will be... Plus it has that huge sculpted cape that the original Kenobi had and I was always very nervous about it breaking.

I'm happy with 1/5 scale Mythos. No need to upgrade as this will be probably 30" tall with that cape.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

So they churched up the 1/5 and re-released it in 1/4? Ilmfao

That's a good point. The most recent Vader PF is close to 27 inches tall and has a pretty modest base. I'd be out on this because the spaces I have that would accommodate this are already taken up by other things...

 

[marker2037]

You'll probably need 24" in width as well with that cape and lightsaber. It's gonna be a big, big boy. I'm perfectly happy with the 1/5 scale.

 

[Jedha Patrol]

assuming my math is correct, it should be

30.94" H
29.28" W
15.63" D

 

[marker2037]

Good Lord (Vader), that's massive

 

[Joe Prince]

I have the 1/5th that's good enough.

Totally agree.

This and the complete copy of the Kenobi in PF from Mythos just shows them as lazy.

 

[Gipetto0812]

Very lazy of them to just upscale the 1/5. Was excited to see the thread, then confused an thought I was in the wrong thread, now disappointed that it's just a lazy upscale.

 

[DarthAlias]

It's dirty that they're doing this tbh. I recently sold my Maul mythos which now I'm glad I did if they make him in 1/4 with light up blades. They shouldn't do this, makes 1/5 stand out even worse if a 1/4 is available.

I would say if they bring out a net new mythos with the 1/5 and 1/4 option, that's pretty cool as it gives folks with money or space constraints an option. To release a 1/5 scale mythos and then months later release it in 1/4 scale does kind of suck. With that said, I will happily take a 1/4 scale mythos Fett exactly like the original!

 

[DarthAlias]

I would take the 1/4 over the 1/5 since it’s such a random scale. Options help but 1/4 is their bread and butter with adding additional features like lights and all.

 

[slynger]

I’m a fan of the original Mythos scale. I get why people like the same scale, personally, I like the bit of difference. But $1125 for the EX? A lot of money for something they simply scaled up and reprinted.

With what Blitzway is charging for sculpted 1/4, this is robbery from Sideshow's end. $1100+ is crazy.

 

[Joe Prince]

I see this move as cost cutting. No need to make a new mold. Just update and done. To me, this says inflation and
lower interest is impacting sales. However, people will pay for a cool looking statue if one was presented but the cost
to make one is too high.

Great statue, hope for a Mythos Boba Fett quite soon then
