Sideshow ESB/ROTJ Darth Vader

[zeiss]

Vader is definitely the most detailed figure in that second picture, as he should be. I don't even know what is going on with Boba's legs.

I actually agree with this approach. If I was assigned the job of drawing the second biggest comic of the year (after the main star wars comic) with the main protagonist being the most recognizable movie villain in history, I would certainly pony up the $250 for the most high-end, highly articulated version of the character to use as my model. Makes me wish even more that Sideshow didn't have significant inaccuracies as it affects the comic version. On the other hand, it does give the Sideshow doll a more substantial place in the history of the character that will make the figure still somewhat relevant even after better versions come along.

Salvador Larocca is no stranger to 1/6 scale figures. He paints customs apparently. Salvado Larocca on Facebook

Wow, his 1/6 Indy and horse with real hair are incredible. Never seen that done before.

I'd say nice Vader.

But that belt is crooked.

Fix it meow.

 

[Pixelpiper]

It's not crooked, it's stressing under the weight of his hand resting on it. That's attention to detail. The photo is missing the obligatory "pull my finger" text though.

That's a nice catch that comic Vader! It does look remarkably close.

Boba has to pee though.

EDIT: I just saw on a page back that Zeiss noticed it as well. Good catch!

I was reading through the new Marvel Star Wars comic today and saw preview images for the upcoming Darth Vader series. I wonder if the artists in Marvel used the SS vader for reference.





The look of the dome and helmet did seem really familiar.

Great shot man!!!

Great shot man!!!

Its a great shot , no mods nothing and it looks better than hot toys !!

 

[TheFiend]

Well, I did lower the dome and sand of a tiny bit of the bottom of the neck adapter but hey, it's not what I did to my ANH Vader.

Yes, with this vader losing half a cm already looks good enough. He certainly is shorter than ANH vader!

28mm square. 5 mm thick (just the box...not the buttons, etc).

Thanks for that! (just trying to figure out how undersized my custom box is - used a Hasbro soft rubber box.)

Judging from the pics of the HT version, you made the right choice. I don't think the HT Vader looks that great.

 

[davejames]

He definitely looks best with his head looking up at an angle.

But man, those skinny skinny arms.
