Why do some people just want to cut up other people and focus on either turning the thread into an argument or trying to control how other people express themselves? Instead of, you know, maybe focusing on the figure? I haven't seen anyone trying to get anyone else to cancel their order.
When I saw that my order was about to ship, I kind of hoped more people would have already received their shipment, but obviously that's not the case. Photos elsewhere on the net are also very hard to come by.
Jesus. ...
At this point we really should have a Vader modification thread anyway. That way it can encompass the mods/discussion about height and all other stuff i. e. body swapping, the mixing and matching of different Vader parts etc.

I think Sideshow is at the top of their game right now and look forward to their continued iteration and evolution. I'm not sure how many times I've said it, but I'll say it again, Sideshow is charging Hot Toys prices because they feel they're providing Hot Toys level product. From photos alone, I tend to agree. It will no doubt take some time for more people to see all their latest offerings in-hand before it becomes commonly accepted, but it's coming.

A lot of people have been complaining since this guy was priced and then when the Hoth stuff was priced. My other often repeated line is that SSC's current SW figures are at Hot Toys basic figures prices. A little less in fact, when HT is about $210+ and SSC $199. I'm sure we haven't seen the last of Sideshow figures priced close to $150, but in general everything is moving upward - which is more indicative of a great deal of markets, not necessarily only this hobby.
True, id only assume that would be because US fed ex delivers via ground over there?
The Hoth figures are a lot closer in price to MMS figures.
Does this mean the new Stormtroopers will be die cast and $250+ each?
I hope not, die cast wouldn't be appropriate for troopers as their armor isn't supposed to be metallic as far as I know. Obviously the props aren't metallic, but I wouldn't think the in-universe material is supposed to be a metal, unlike for instance C3PO's shell.
...or a steel with the properties of a plastic...
So we've only seen pics from Rubio and King? Hopefully that'll all change tomorrow.
I used gardeners tape on the forearms. Made a big difference.
There's only one Vader, and unless you're a prop purist, there's no in-universe reason for small differences from movie to movie. Vader did not order in a new set of armor.
You could have stopped right there and your position would have been clear as a bell. It's a great figure. No arguments there. But if the height is "fine" to you, it may not be to others. You show a tremendous amount of disrespect to other members while trying to defend the product. Something's not right about that to me. No one here is showing disrespect to Sideshow for having produced this figure and no one is showing disrespect to members who love the figure and don't care about its flaws.
I suppose that's a matter of perspective. The shots of Vader with SSC's Boba and HT's Luke Luke somewhat ridiculous to me. Not the same as posing a Kenner Vader at almost 15" but still noticeably out of scale - bothersome.
This isn't a Medicom thread, but I'm curious in what way you think they're superior? I think they're garbage. Very poor plastics, bad joints, bad glue, bad proportions, overall fragile. Plenty of people doing body swaps for a reason.
Do you participate in any winter sports? Is there snow where you're from? I'll give you the gloves may not be precisely screen accurate, but they're not obscene by any stretch of the imagination. Winter gloves are always gong to be bigger than tight-fitting leather task gloves.
GREAT. I've seen that everyone who has mentioned the height has been otherwise positive about the figure as a whole, myself included. Sideshow did a fantastic job, it's easily the best Vader ever produced in articulated form.
There's no venom, take the hyperbole down a notch. You agree he's oversized in one sentence and then claim it's venom from others? Well proportioned yes on his own, yes for the most part, but your photos show the helmet as problematic - it looks bad in many of the photos, just like with Sideshow's own photos, so it's nothing about your photographic skills. Compare to what it looks like in King's photos.
I'm not sure that you're actually making a point here or just trying to insult other members again. Here's posting tip for you specific to Vader. He's right handed and never holds his saber, lit or unlit, in his left hand. It looks very out of place.
Stop telling other people what to do. Do what you want and let other people do the same. Sounds reasonable, no?
You haven't read that most people are still waiting to receive this guy? Half the posts in here have been about charge and shipping times. Then there are other people, myself included, asking for new photos, not reposts. If you have the figure in hand, how about some other photos that people have asked for? No need to repost, especially since you've already said you're fundamentally against it.
It ain't.
