Sideshow ESB/ROTJ Darth Vader

Did you read that Sideshow??

Sideshow don't like me when I'm angry.

sideshow better paint those gloves too.......that orange/red color looks completely ridiculous & makes him look like he was some kind of crab or lobster fisherman....

That's because we're actually getting the 1:6 of this:

I don't really like the orange gloves, but I respect Sideshow for thinking outside the box. I will buy it for sure. I'm positive it will look better in hand. Lobster Vader will look great in my collection. Thank you Sideshow, you're the best.

Based on what shots, I've seen 2 and the only thing in them that's certain is ROTJ.

Isn't the cut on the jawline in that picture ESB? I thought someone said something about that.

And now we know that Darth Vader is from Maine.

The RotJ cuts through the upper tusk tube and runs along the top of the bottom one, splitting them and leaving one on the upper face and one on the neck piece, whereas the ESB is cut above the upper tusk tube, leaving both tubes down on the bottom neck piece.

Red line shows the ESB cut and the green line show the RotJ cut.

Unfortunately, Too Much Garlic's diagram is no longer linked. But this new photo shows what he describes as the ESB reveal.

Yeah, sorry about that. Had some issues with some pictures I'd uploaded, so had to delete some folders. Sadly nuked that one too and had to redo it.

Ah! Thanks for posting that, TMG!

And I also wanted to point out that the original photo from Sideshow seems to show the ROTJ reveal, with the one husk on the facemask:

So, we may actually get BOTH versions of the reveals!

I really hope that is true. I would easily pick up two Vaders if it is.

I'm already expecting as much... One EX and one Regular.

 

[The Josh]

Yeah, if it's a duel or something like that I'd get two of them.

Yep, same. Will probably be the only non-army builder (Stormtrooper, Tusken, etc.) character I get doubles of for display.

 

[d_jedi1]

Based on the shots we've seen, it's both.
They've shown both helmet styles.

Based on what shots, I've seen 2 and the only thing in them that's certain is ROTJ.

just to show the comparison here...

take a GOOD look at the faceplates, I know I'm not the first, nor only person to have said it, BUT I'm seeing two distinctly different ones here.
One, you are correct, is clearly ROTJ.
The other is also, clearly, ESB.

Never really noticed the gloves in the back, Hands on belt, pointy finger sweet!
