How many times do I have to say it?

Yes es.. I'm late to the game.

Just once more. Please

That's not what any of the movies show.
.

Nevertheless, it is accurate. There are a number of movie tricks to make sure two people who do wildly differ in height to look better in the same shot.

I have no issues with the Vader figure at the height it is. It is, at best, a quarter inch too tall.

So they used movie tricks to make Vader look SHORTER than Prowse in real life? The opposite sometimes, mostly through creative camera angles.

There are plenty of behind the scenes footage of prows in and out of costume next to his costars where you can clearly see he was not 6'7" tall and that Vader was not 6'10"

I think a lot of people are imagining Vader as some super tall freak. That was Chewbacca.

It's all good.

Yep. Here's another one of Bob Anderson. Obviously a little shorter than Prowse.

That doesn't look like Hayden at all.

FATHER=Watching Empire Strikes Back with your 6 year old son. Preparing myself for receiving Darth Vader!

Why keep going on and on about the height?

There is no dispute, he is too tall.

If that bothers people they should cancel because it's not changing. .

If they do though, they are missing out on a awesome figure.

Can we stop talking about his height and get back to talking about his skinny arms please!

If someone who has this in hand can talk about how rubbish it is I can feel happier about not having it myself. Thanks.

Just to divert from the height issue for a moment, here's a cool pick of Shaw. I think he's sad about his bushy eyebrows.

Now let's get more pics of the figure.

i love the feeling of scale you get for the rest of the helmet from this shot. Just the mask was massive never mind the dome.
Loving he way the figure is looking, can't wait till Wednesday

$310 for us arse-end-of-the-world dwellers. And 'cause our currency has tanked... ugh.

It's still a good deal if you take into account you're paying by the inch.

Don't be fooled by the addition of all of the wires and such. It did NOT fit the actor's head/face like that at all.

Well C3PO was a good deal by the pound, so...

You're not helping

everyone knows that vader is oversized right? the person wearing suit was only 6'5 and harisson ford is 6'2 and actor playing chewie is 7'2 making vader about an inch too damn tall. he should be 12.75 at tallest. Does anyone know if suit will fit on a 12" tall figure?

 

[greygoose]

He probably is but it looks great regardless. I'm sure those who end up owning him will appreciate how good he is.

Yes, everyone knows ANH Vader was oversized and remains oversized

I love those that defend the height as legit. Like a blind person can see its not correct
