Sideshow ESB/ROTJ Darth Vader

[BatBrain]

3 more days to wait for this guy! MoS and C3PO will hold me over just fine in the meantime.

Just spoke to a customer rep at Sideshow and they said my order is set to be shipped tonight or tomorrow, latest.

This picture is a lie - I don't know why, but ANH vader and ESB/ROTJ version are inches apart in height to each other

Didn't expect that. Ordered a few hours ago and just got a shipping confirmation

Hopefully that means all the preorders are filled and we should be getting an email soon.

Excellent pictures. My final flexpay goes out Friday, and while I love having my ANH Vader posed with a stormie on either side I want to post this one with the HT Bespin Luke so thanks for that preview.

Nice Luke & Vader pics. But it really looks like Luke's going for the reach-around, especially in the second one. Vader may be smiling under that helmet. Just saying.

 

[TheFiend]

It does.

I totally forgot to turn on my Vader's lights. Are the batteries even included?

Batteries are included. Just have to open and pull the tab out. Both bases plus belt.

I just realized there's a scarred head under the helmet. It looks unpainted. And you can see the scarring on the neck too.

Yeah, I just noticed that last night myself. Probably doesn't have a face though. Interesting they included that detail even though the collar doesn't have all its detail.

When I painted the prototype for this project I wanted to paint Vader's eyes as Sith because the expression was clearly meant to be Vader before he was defeated by Luke and tossed the Emperor overboard, but the powers that be wanted to stick with something more traditional to the movie. But with the release of the figure I finally got to do it my way.

Does anybody else's head sit just a little cockeyed in the mask. I had to paint the eyes in such a way as to prevent him looking like he was checking something out off to the side.

 

[TheFiend]

That looks much better Surfer. I'm not really into Sith eyes but in this instance it works. SSC wanted something more traditional but it really doesn't make sense because thise sculpt really doesn't accurately portray Anakin at the end of ROTJ anyway imo. He has a bit more of a stern/scowl to me.

wow now I want to hunt down an extra head and have you paint it for me.

 

[rorkstar]

Surfer, where do you live in SoCal? Would you be interested in painting my head too? For a fee, of course.
