Sideshow ESB/ROTJ Darth Vader

Use the Force to remove chicken pot pie from the oven?

I must say, one of the most amusing things here at SSF are people who balk and criticize to the millimeter any imperfection on a $250 doll and yet will pay upwards of $500 on a custom that looks like crap.

Amusing as it may be and no disrespect intended, some of those 500 dollar dolls are made by artist who work hard in replicating expressions, sculpts, clothings, evry bit of nuances on a face, matching paint aps, accessories and also have to do with 1/100th of the resources and muscle power that ss or ht has. So this makes me wonder that barring price how can those round the corner artists do a fairly non disputable job and here we have a company with all its resources, fan support, license reference material and they are unable to replicate a "dome" leave alone anything else (did i mention second attempt)

Anyways. I respect the artists at hot toys, ss enterbay but i am sure the artists which work hard to prove their worth without much muscle power n financial resources deserve their own share of respect and so do their fans! ...

To appreciate one, do not ever criticize another and vice versa...

Wow, in all my years as a regular poster here and in the customs section (often having commissioned custom figures myself and counting a few of the greats as my friends) I had no idea that some of them work very hard. Thank you for enlightening me.

Huh?

I am not sure your reading comprehension is up to snuff. Past what? I am not a customizer. Rather, I assume perhaps you are the one butt hurt because you have paid an exorbitant amount for said "piece of crap" and deep down you regret being duped.

Listen.

1) You are a presumptious fellow. You don't know me. You haven't even been a member here for a year yet. You have no idea what my sense of humor is nor my long history with this board and the people who post here.

2) You are making assumptions about what I wrote and becoming needlessly offended. Whatever unpleasant circumstances you have found yourself in that has led you to misdirect some of your personal frustrations onto what I wrote is your business.

3) Your use of "chicken little" betrays your ignorance since it makes no sense in context of anything I have written.

So yeah. Your turn puppy dog.

My video review will be up tomorrow

Finally we can get a real look on Vader. So excited!!!

 

[Optibotimus]

If anyone has any questions or would like a specific look at something, let me know and i can take some pictures. The video is done but i have to wait for tomorrow to make it live. But in the meantime, i've been "authorized" to show off pictures haha

I would like to see the inside of the display mask. When Sideshow first showed this they mentioned details on the inside of the helmet would be produced (similar to the non functional Luke/Han stormtrooper helmets).

Gracias.

1) I'm assuming either english is not your first language, and you're getting confused, OR you've been burned on a custom in the past, and are projecting onto Pix, OR are a customizer yourself, and are protecting your financial interests.

2) Customizers spend MORE time per piece than a mass produced piece gets. Additionaly, it's generaly one or two pieple seeing a piece through from begenning to end, as opposed to TONS of people working on a product for mass consumption. This allows for a finer degree of controll from start to finish. This means that a finished custom piece has the potential to look MUCH better than a mass produced one.

3) Some customs are amazing. Some Are Crap. I've bought a few, and i'll never buy a custom again.
I still own an AMAZING ( for its time) Sith Luke from Hurricane, who is the premire Vader Fabricator in 1/6th.
I also bought a 70$ headsculpt from Elvis, from whom it took close to 15 months for him to ship to me. During which time he never responded to my messages to remind him of my purchase, which i did not send untill 6 months in.
It FINALY arrives, is an OK paintjob, and the majority of his paintwork flaked off within a week of it sitting on my shelf.
70$ for a paintjob, on a head i paid 35$ for. Wheee..

4) you're making yourself look stupid. Might wanna quit while you're ahead.

I am thinking english is not his native language. He failed to pick up on my original point and tried to point out something that was painfully obvious (and not at all relevant to the joke I made) and he still didn't get the point and thought I was insulting customizers. :


It's all good though. We all make asses of ourselves at one time or another here. Lord knows I have.

Besides, I am still on a high from getting my Doctor Who figures.

I for the most part can't stand you tube toy reviewers. But when I do by chance click to see what they have to offer, most of the time their voices are awful.

I would suggest doing Vaders review in the voice of James Earl Jones.
