Sideshow ESB/ROTJ Darth Vader

[SithThundercracker]

Impressive. I might need to adjust the height somehow but overall is really good!

 

[MicroJow]

Question for those of you that have Vader. Is the bottom of the cape and/or tunic hemmed?

No, it is simply cut fabric.

Time to get the sewing machine out. Should be a pretty simple hem.

As far as decreasing his height, would shorter foot pegs make a difference? Unless you significantly mod a TrueType, I just don't see a body swap working.

Fingers crossed someone can get this answered - and then more fingers crossed that if it's doable that it also looks OK. Looking at the suit (and the figure) I'm worried that simply shortening the legs will make him look out of proportion - super-long torso look.

I'll probably wait until my next trip to NY state on the 31st to pick mine up from my mailbox. The spot on his shelf has never looked so empty and Luke so lonely:

Thank you. I sent SS an email see if they can replace it. I don't want to have to replace the whole figure because it's top notch.
Not meant to alarm or start issues, but this is straight out of the box. They must of used a very dull cutting edge. It's fringy all along the edge:

More than likely you will just be sent a new cape and not need to get an entire figure replacement. Vader has a nice supply of replacement parts at this time, so getting people just a cape replacement (for example) is pretty easy.

Hope that helps!

Alex, that is exactly what I wanted to hear. I hope that is the case. Overall this is a fantastic figure and I would hate to have to send him all back when this was he's only issue.

 

[Rorywan]

The arms are skinny and he's a bit tall.... That being said, I couldn't keep my eyes off of him. On his own the height is a non-issue and the arms don't matter at all when his cape obscures them. Super high quality in terms of detail, materials and packaging. Totally on par with HT. When posed as he is above it appears flawless.

Looks fantastic there. damn you!

 

[Wor-Gar]

That does look nice there!

 

[Sidious-66]

Yeah all these new in-hand pics of Lord Vader are superb.

Too big, baggy pants? I don't care he looks awesome.

 

[generalgrevious]

just got him charged today can`t wait to see in person. I have a kpo3a body coming wonder if it would look great on him or my ANH vader.

Alex, The tusks on my Anakin head are bent pretty bad on one side. Should I call or email?

Bring it on!

Rory, you're super picky, but I think you will be impressed. Anything negative that can be said about this figure can be fixed, and the rest is VERY, VERY good.

Our customer service department will need a photograph of the issue, so emailing might be your best bet over calling. Replacements should not be a problem right now.

Yes. Finally I will have a 1/6 Vader in my collection.

Cool! I'll get right on it.

 

[MandoMan531]

Can't wait to get this guy. Had to flexpay him, so the wait might suck but it'll be worth it.

 

[pixletwin]

Alex, my figure appears to be invisible. Can you help me with that?

Oh no! Did Vader hop into Wonder Woman's jet again? Don't know if I can help you in that kind of situation.
