Sideshow ESB/ROTJ Darth Vader

[anwe]

Quick PS comparison. Hard to tell if they're scaled correctly because the feet peg of old vader was inside the boots.
Surely they have completely different proprotions.

Yes they weren't as similar as I remembered. But hey, I remembered it was black.

But the arm and wrist area isn't that different and still the feeling of looking at pipe cleaners is apparent when looking at the new figure.

It looks good but I am not feeling the wow factor of $200+

Exactly how I feel at the moment. A bit of a underwhelming for some reason.
Not sure if I should cancel or not.

looks good to me, it's definitely a nice revision of their original. I cannot wait to get mine. Just need some updated Stormtroopers released now.

Im with you on this, you think those white clones with their phase 2 helmets would look good enough?

They are coming....

So with all these pictures...is he being released yet?

 

[TheFiend]

Hmm, so he's still too tall? I was hoping for a better body but honestly this new body looks to be the same height as my modified ANH body. I don't see a point in picking that up. Ill definitely be picking up the chest box and maybe the belt/cod piece for my Vader. Oh, and some hands too.

Great pics Dave. They have put to rest any fears I had about the hands being Hasbro-sized. I am liking the look of this figure. Can't wait to get it. One more flex to go!

 

[galactiboy]

Wow, he looks incredible... I can really see a great deal of improvements over the ANH, subtle things, but meaningful ones. Only complaint is they did not adjust the height, he's still far too tall... but that's an easy fix.

He's still a bit too tall I think. Here come the mods.

What Stormtroopers are these? They kind of look like Sideshow (especially the feet) but the armor seems to fit a bit different and I've not seen any with the white strap for the shoulder bells?

Maybe a tease w/in a preview? Or maybe I'm crazy

 

[pixletwin]

They're the same troopers I think, its just that the stretchy bands for the shoulder armor has been stretched too much and is falling loose. Time to top stick those puppies to the shoulder Dave.

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, probably right... what really stuck out to me was the white bands under the shoulder bells... neither the first release or the Han & Luke 2 pack have them.

 

[galactiboy]

I have to say Sideshow really brought their A game on this one... aside from the height, the only other thing that seems a bit below Hot Toys would be the paint on the Anakin portrait... it's not bad, but looks a bit lackluster.

Still, overall I don't feel bad at dropping $250 on this one

Surely Sideshow will release a ROTJ Stormtrooper or just a 2.0 to go with this guy, they have to know that Stormtroopers will always do well, right?

 

[pixletwin]

Do you mean the bicep armor with the black stripe? You may be right. Not sure what that is about.

 

[lerath666]

I'm not thrilled with the arms. Actually i hate how skinny they look. The RS photo's are good but waiting for Obtibotimus video review

The pants are too baggy and he does seem a tiny bit tall but not a huge issue. The Shaw headsculpt does nothing for me. Not because it's bad but i would never use it. I would rather they didn't include it and cut the price a bit.

The base is very nice. The box is ok. I was hoping for a foldout magnet or more DX type.

He does look a hell of a lot better than ANH Vader. How far they have come!

I guess i'll be posing him something like this with the skinny arms hidden

PEWP...

The've made teh switch to medicom lightsabers. That kinda sucks.

Preference only, i prefer the older, thinner savers from earlier figures. They seemed better, and if this is anything like the "light baton" they gave Padawan Obi-wan, it's gonna be prone to warping.

Thy're not white straps, they're part of the biceps armor between the two black straps.

Edit: yeah, I'm late.

 

[abake]

Awesone pics!
This new Vader is looking a lot better, but I'm not sure I need it.

I like it and hopefully we will receive the fig in Jan(?)

I'm always nitpicky

The chest armor seems to be the same size as ANH version?

Looking @ pics from the movie the chest armor s/b covering over the shoulder armor?

I may be too much

 

[galactiboy]

Thy're not white straps, they're part of the biceps armor between the two black straps.

Edit: yeah, I'm late.

So they are... so either black on the armor, or just the strap is really low.

Nevermind... I shouldn't try to figure things out when I'm home sick from work

 

[TheFiend]

So, are you guys gonna switch out this body for the KP02 again?
