Sideshow ESB/ROTJ Darth Vader

[Radiation74]

I got my new head and cape yesterday. The old helmet had more marks on it that I didn't even notice. The new one is perfect.

Received mine today. Doesn't appear to have any QC issues so I got lucky. Also came with a Sideshow keychain.

BTW, if anyone is interested, the little nub at the business end of the unlit saber can be pulled out easily with a pair of needle nose pliers. I suppose it will also work with our teeth, but I didn't try that way myself.

Unrelated: Why on earth would a saber need two D rings on it, one at each end?

Umm, because that how the saber was built for RotJ.....?

"Little nub" and all....

I didn't ask why Sideshow put two D-rings on their replica, but why a saber (ie. the one in the movie) needs two d-rings. It's a bad design.

And for the last time, the nub is a prop detail that doesn't appear in the movies. It's not part of the saber, it's part of the prop. If you want movie/screen accuracy, you'd remove it. Otherwise you might as well replace any "lit" saber parts with a white dowel.

My Vader has a weird issue when you open the helmet.....



Sorry! had to do it again!

Great pic 'Tron. This figure does not take bad pictures. He looks incredible and with the lens flare it offers great prep for the JJ Abrams Episode VII.

Every time someone posts a picture of Vader holding a saber in his left hand, an Angel loses its wings. And a kitten dies.

Please don't be a kitten killer.

Mine arrived today!!!! I bought the EX off a member here. The Vader is AMAZING!!!! much better seeing it in-person than in fan pix. He's so much bulkier than I expected. The details are just awesome and has amazing shelf presence. Really really impressed with this. One of my favorite figures I own now. I never got any previous 1/6 Vaders, and Im glad I never did because I love this one. And mine has no QC issues thank goodness

That video is hilarious. When he does that "OWwwww!!!" I'm no more good.


What the **** did Vader die of anyway? Getting winded and getting his hand cut off? His robot hand!?

Samurai would fasten their swords differently depending on how they where doing battle. Probably same kind of thing kind of thing.

Probably electrocution!

 

[TheFiend]

Yeah, but Luke looked to be doing ok.

Luke didn't have a ton of electrical components keeping him alive that would be kinda vulnerable to electrical surges lol.

 

[TheFiend]

Thats a really weird justification. Electricity passing through electrical components =dead, but electricity passing through organs, blood and living tissue = Ok! I'm pretty sure if electricity passed through my body the way it did on Luke I'd be severely....dead. Or at least terribly injured.

He lost the will to live.

Much like I did when I watched TPM.

The only good thing to come from TPM was Duel of Fates by John Williams.
