Sideshow ESB/ROTJ Darth Vader

Hey thanks for the quick reply!
Since my dome has a scuff mark, could I switch it out with the display dome? Are they pretty much the same piece?

 

[Matt S]

Just a small dab of super glue.

ok cool, thanks

The display dome is completely smooth inside, the mask dome has additional sculpting inside to mount to the mask. I imagine you could use the display dome, you would just have to glue it in place.

You can just contact SS about it and they'll replace it for you. That's if you bought it through them of course.

 

[Mar-Vell]

Yes, I have contacted them. I was just thinking in case they won't replace it (still waiting to hear back from them).

Anyway, besides the scuff mark on my figures' dome, this figure in INCREDIBLE and exceeded my expectations. Anyone not sure, I would recommend getting for sure!

Hope this is okay, had to put the on stands as the new Vader keeps wanting to tumble backwards. Even so, the are on even footing.

​

Thanks WG!

The dome fits a little wonky on the ANH "head" cause its so round, but you can get around it with a little tac or dremeling down the ANH bubble top so the dome fits more snug.

Bad Arse pictures King! Thanks for showing the extra ESB dome on the ANH head, I've been waiting for someone to do this. Now I have to stalk the websites for the ESB dome.

Yea, prolly just ball up some epoxy and lower the display helmet down until it looks 'right' to the owner.

Blue tack would work as well and it's reversible if needed.

Thanks sir, and no prob.

Yeah, I always forget about that stuff

This is the best way to go, I think. I've used it in the past. Works wonderfully

 

[Mar-Vell]

Where do you buy blue tack?

I use something called Blue Stik made by DAP, which is the same thing, and I bought it at Home Depot. I've heard people getting it at Wal-Mart and the such but I couldn't find at the two near my house.

Strange but this is my first time to be in this situation. My card was charged last Wednesday & i haven't gotten any shipping notice/ tracker. If this isn't a PO i would be considerate enough to wait that long! But I have preordered this since SSC put 'em up for PO!

Hopefully, Monday would bring some good news!

Knock yourself out with these fresh Vader and height-related screen caps, fresh from HD source of all three Star Wars movies.

With goodies such as the Leia Sandwich:



I'm going to try and make an animated GIF of that one.

Thanks! If I don't get a replacement from Sideshow I'll into that.

Oops! Quoted myself by mistake (still learning !)

Thanks for the pics Pix.

I like this pic cause it clearly shows leia, Carrie Fisher 5'1" only comes up to the bottom of Vader's neck on his mask.

This pic shows she only come up to the bottom of Hans, Ford 6'1", chin.

Now I don't have any pics of Luke next to Vader, Han, or Leia but I do know that Hamill is 5'7" and can just see over Leias head which makes sense if he's only 6 inches taller than her. Which puts him right about at the bottom of Vader's chin.

Han can see over Lukes head in several scenes, from what I've gathered, so it would make sense that Han would come up to maybe the middle or top of Vader's eyes.

Which would also make sense if we take Peter Cushing's height into consideration which is stated as being 5'11" or 6'. And as we can see referring to the first pic Peter Cushing looks like he only comes up to possibly the bottom of Vaders eyes.

This pic shows Sir Alec Guinness, 5'10", just about right at 3 inches taller than Hamill. He can't quite see over top of Luke's head which would make sense if Ben is 3 inches shorter than Ford.

The ironic part about this height issue, as soon as the next Vader hits in 3-4 years from now, the 'controversy' will live on!
