Here is a picture of Hamill standing on a box again.. :lol

I don't know why some members close their eyes to the fact the Mark was a full foot shorter than Prowse when Prowse was in full costume and quote irrelevant pics to try and back their incorrect point of view.

In 1:6 Luke should be 11.5 and Vader should be 13.5. The 1/4 inch descrepancy is a non issue when you laughably compare it to Medicom who don't even attempt to make them to scale. If it's an issue for you that's fine, don't buy. To most of us it's not. I am honestly more concerned with his skinny arms than anything else.
 
When you look at the view from the back with the helm removed the arms don't even look skinny. It's a big figure with bulky armour making the rest look smaller ( if that makes sense )
 
They both cost exactly the same. Why would you specifically ask for a link to the regular? You don't like free extras?
 
Yes, seems like the correct height proportions.. :ohbfrank:

With all the hate for the smaller Medicoms I just can't understand why (almost) everybody here wants a figure that makes all their precious sideshow figures look like the dreaded medis in comparison.

It's like it was Karl Malone that wore the suit in the movie.

You're over exaggerating.

We get it, you hate the figure, you should start your own thread where you can post over the top comparison pics with red lines and circles pointing out all the imperfections. :monkey2
 
Cause I'd prefer an oversized vader standing next to Luke, rather than medis teen cosplayer vader

I am actually much more pleased with the look of it now with all the new pictures. The biggest thing making me seriously thinking of not getting this figure now is the price. Barring someone buying it on a trip and taking it home to me it will cost me in the neighborhood of $330-350 to get it home. That's ordering from Sideshow or locally in Europe.

There are the same type of problems with the dome but it's a hell of a lot better than the previous one. Even the skinny arms you can hide in a lot of poses but considering the cost it might not be worth it to me.

I just felt that with all the "back scratching"-type posts in this thread recently it needed a bit of :nana:... :)
