Sideshow ESB/ROTJ Darth Vader

[UPSMan]

^^ Congrats! Mine will arrive tomorrow. I just found out at work that we're being audited tomorrow, so its gonna be a loooong day til I get home to open and mess with him. Its ok though I've waited 3 weeks, I think I can do 8hrs more tomorrow.

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

That's awesome for you but I find it intriguing that I only got mine today when I ordered within 5 minutes of the preorder going up and had payment taken as soon as SSC requested it.

 

[generalgrevious]

yep mine will be here today as well fun times

Mine is leaning to his right. Does this interfere with putting on the helmet or dome? I don't want to touch or do anything with mine until I hear from Sideshow.

Hail Lord Vader!

Hail Lord Vader!

Nice setup. Have all the sandtroopers, I don't recall if I kept that heavy gun on his backpack inside the box...did it really come with one? Don't want to dig through the boxes.

 

[sharpnel]

Yes, all those accessories came with the desert sandtrooper.

Electronic box is too cool.

 

[King Darkness]

Fantastic shots, sharpnel

Ahhh the beauty of living in Cali for SS collectors, quick shipping. Though the CA taxes must suck.

On another note, nice pics sharpnel !

Mine just arrived, hoping it's QC issue free. Wow, big box. Didn't expect it so fast, I only ordered it a short while ago and I'm in Ireland. Must have been the two NRD's I paid..

You're not supposed to put the mask/dome onto the Anakin head. It's not designed for it.

These are some of the earliest pictures of the finished product, but there is almost no height difference between the two Vaders. But later pictures in this thread show a much bigger height difference. Am I missing something?

When people complain about the costs about the figures think about guys like this that needlessly bother sideshow with "issues" like this. Someone has to be paid to reply to this. He probably demanded a replacement too.

Just opened mine, could hear the imperial March in my head, lol.

It's just an awesome figure, wow. The box art work, the base, the figure. The arms don't look so bad in person, the gloves possibly flare too wide making the arms look worse. The light up chest box is superb.

No defects which is cool too.

Awesome figure.

It's not just the head leaning to one side, but the hem is frayed and the box is damaged. For such an expensive item, these issues are not acceptable!

Mine finally shipped, hope the force is strong with the QC on my Vader. But who knows, it could be plagued by the Darkside.

yeah, I've been wondering too.......no way that the early protos were released on the original ANH body, that would mean everything would have to be resized.....but Rebelscum photo trickery seems unlikely too.....its a mystery
