Sideshow ESB/ROTJ Darth Vader

[pixletwin]

I loved this one and was dead set on preordering it, but in this topic I saw people whine about his legs being too short making him look like a midget and well.. Now I noticed it too, and it cannot be unseen for me on the pictures Hence why I started doubting..

I thought the same thing when some of the pics of the ANH Vader came out. I foresaw many comments about "Dwarf Vader" in the ANH Vader thread's future...

... we all know how that turned out. Proportions were fine except the height was too much. I have no reason to believe this Vader will be out of proportion and hopefully the height is corrected.

 

[automaton]

it isn't just the height that needs to be corrected... it is the proportions of the costume in relation to it as well.

I concerned about how his face looks when the mask is off. From what I can tell Medicom has nailed it, but this version looks a bit off

The moment I get this Vader I most likely will sell the ANH Ex Vader. I could have sold it before for big money, but it is not my way.

 

[Jaycepticon]

How tall will this version be compared to the ANH one?

 

[jkno]

Hopefully shorter. The ANH Vader looks like Eiffel tower next to the Stormies.

 

[punisher1974]

I hope Vader is shorter too because he is taller than my classic Predator.

I seem to recall SSC mentioning in chat at SDCC last year (?) that the height would be corrected on this version.

Hope they won't go on reverse and Medicom it.

What do you guys think will turn out being the best Vader? This or the Medicom version 2.0? Both will cost around the same for me so..

Kinda hard to say. I have the 2.0 and the ANH version, the 2.0 just looks better to me on my display. But i will be getting this version as well.

Order page says 13.5".

Order page says 13.5".

6' 9".

Sounds about right.

Dave Prowse was 6' 6" in his socks.

Add boots and a big shiny helmet...

 

[pixletwin]

13.5 is also the height most of us arrived at after doing the helmet and height mod/body swap.

I thought the ANH version was 14 inches?

Yup. I'm 6'6" in my socks, and 6'10" after boots and helmet.

I look forward to this figure!

^ So you're saying he's too short?!

Canceled. No buy.

He's not an ESB/ROTJ version anyway. So this is a NO buy for me as well.

Just threw the exclusive on preorder. Don't have a Vader yet, so why not?
