Thanks, no mods here. Although I will lower the helmet at some point soon.Looking good. If that doesn't also include a helmet mod, you did a very good job of posing along with shooting angle to minimize the look off look of the stock neck/helmet. A much better job than Sideshow did on any of their own images.
Nice screen grabs in that link. Some of the better ones I've seen.
Sweet pic, Rory.
So you're pretty happy with this though you cancelled and we're skeptical at first. That's good news. Initially I was going to pass but tomorrow I'll be putting in an order. Will you b keeping your ANH version?
Sweet pics Rory. Sweeeeeet pics.
Awful .

GREAT pics Rory. Wow, this does look awesome. There's a few little nit-picky things that I don't like but it's so impressive overall that I'm not too fussed.
The two main things which I DO wish they could have improved upon is the suit (their ANH version looks much better with all the "bunching" up along the vertical stitch lines) and the size of the dome. The upper part of the dome definitely needs to be wider and if they'd have done that, an already superb figure would have been unbeatable. That's one of the key reasons why the Hasbro dome looked so much better on the ANH figure because they got the width of the dome perfect. Sadly, because the mask on this figure is smaller than the ANH, I'm guessing that the Hasbro dome will be too big.
Hope you don't mind Rory but I used one of your excellent pics to try and demonstrate how it would have looked with a wider dome.
Thanks, but I don't think anyone here is saying it's 100% perfect, but the point is it's very very good. Sure the dome could be wider (and lower) and it could curve slightly on the front edges also. But it's a vast improvement from the stock ANH helmet, which is why I think photoshopping or virtually "fixing" things is pretty pointless. Not aimed at you at all mate, but it started to drive me nuts in the DC threads when everyone and their granny started stretching bat cowls..digitally? If it's a physical fix that can be done or modded (like King's lowering) then great, thats useful stuff. Know what I mean?
Nice pics Rory....
Oh and "Out for Delivery".
I see that wider helmet and reminds me of the ANH vader on the esb/rotj body
Domes were the same in all three movies (with the exception of the widows peak and the amount of shine) so what you're saying is true...from a certain point of view. LOL
