Sideshow ESB/ROTJ Darth Vader

[Anthrapoid]

Hey guys got my Vader. Not had a chance to open him yet but heard there were QC issues. Can anyone please tell me what to look for?

I lot of people have been complaining that instead of the Anakin head sculpt reveal, they are getting the Jar Jar head.

Mine turned up in a brown shipper but no art box.

I got a good chuckle out of this. Just the mental image....

I have a hangover but that made me laugh..

Having just watched Kick-*** 2 I'd classify Jar Jar as a walking Sick Stick!

Finally got mine yesterday, I took some pics with my ESB Boba Fett

 

[SithThundercracker]

Damn that skinny arm!

 

[EVILFACE]

But the arm is still thicker than those on other bodies.

 

[EXOTICLEX]

WTF is up with that skinny arm? Looks like Rick Moranis is inside that Vader costume. LMAO at the Harmonica Bayou. Haven't seen that one.

 

[TheFiend]

The thing is the arms on the ANH Vader are actually the same size more or less. It's the skin tight suit that that is bringing attention to the arms, those massive gloves don't help either. You didn't hear anyone compaining about skinny arms on the ANH Vader.

Here's the new Vader in the old suit.










I really wished they would have gone with the same material and cut.

But yeah, if you're going to use the new suit those arms need padding. I did mine and it looks good.

Awesome pics, Fiend; ANH Vader is still an incredible figure even without all of the bells and whistles of the ESB version. It does seem to be more to do with the tailoring of the suit and how wide the gloves are on new Vader that make the arms look so thin. The gloves are wider but I'm guessing that is to increase the flexibility at the wrists. Noble intentions.

Looking great! Good job.

So I just got my Vader. I was under the impression that this came with batteries. None of the lights work out of the box. Do I need to order special batteries for this now? And of course it came with no instruction manual smh.

 

[Invictus Sol]

You need to open the battery compartments and remove the plastic tabs that are preventing the batteries from forming a circuit. Possible it came with dead batteries, also, but seems unlikely.
