I don't understand this height obsession. I think that the height is fine, and I don't care about how it displays with other figures. As long as it's not ridiculous (it's not), then it works fine with other figures from the line.
I'm a fan of Medicom (the bodies are still VASTLY superior to SideShow
AND Hot Toys), but they're underscaled. However, the SideShow figures' scale is obscene (compare this new Vader's hands to the Snowtrooper, for example. Or to Boba Fett's). It doesn't matter to me, though, because each figure is beautiful unto itself (and that's coming from a guy who loves to
PHOTOGRAPH figures). The same love of Medicom which leads me to adore those (undersized) figures leads me to adore this new Vader, who is obviously still oversized. It makes me feel great that scale TRULY doesn't bother me (up or down).
I just don't understand this venom that's being displayed towards Vader, regarding his height. He's well-proportioned and looks fantastic.
Considering there are so few photographers here (or even people who grasp how to even pose these guys) I just don't understand the vitriol.
This is a truly awesome figure. Stop debating the insignificant nuances and just enjoy what is SideShow's finest effort in the 1/6th game EVER.
And please, people, post some more pics. I'm truly surprised in the lack of new pics. I'm fundamentally against reposting one's own photos, but since no one else is posting new ones, I will:
