Hit that base with some compressed air and it'll look great!

I just ordered a life size yoda. and Im on waitlist for life size death trooper. I would love, absolutely love a life size Darth Vader, but the pose and the way the current sideshow model looks is odd. There is something about him he just looks "fake".. something not right. Maybe his shoulders??

People often complain about the accuracy issues on the lifesize stormtrooper, but I think it looks really nice on display. Congrats!

The SSC Stormtrooper life-size looks ok, but not great. The helmet is still a bomb alas. Maybe if replaced with a better one, but for this price why should you. Oh well, to each his own.

so what do you guys think? View attachment 441682

Are the leg armours aligned correctly, or are they supposed to be like that? The right leg shin armor looks a bit deeper than the thigh armour above, and on the left the thigh armour looks off centre with the shin armour.

Yes you are right I don't know for sure, this was actually the hardest part of putting him together is aligning these shin/thigh pieces! I will adjust it, per the sideshow website and photos it looks like the left shin guard is supposed to be out more

Can u elaborate what is wrong with it? Yes he's kind of short, but not too short, I'm 6'2".. so this guy would be like 5"7-8" with a very thin waist. Guess if you are going to be in the military you should be.

There are supposedly many things wrong with the various helmets on nearly every Sideshow Star Wars character. Till this day I still don’t know what they are, but from comments on nearly every Star Wars thread, there almost always are issues. It’s just that there are a lot of collectors here who know at a glance if something is off with the various costumes.

The SSC life-size Stormtrooper helmet is oddly shaped, wants to be a Hero, but the overall shape resembles soft recasts. Sideshow recast Portumac Vader lid for their 1:1 Vader bust so no wonders here. No one asks to have a 100% accurate helmet on a licensed product, but at this day and age, it is sad what we are getting from Sideshow, while Gentle Giant, Marmit and other companies were able to make way more accurate helmets, even in smaller scales and all this decades ago.

Does anyone else have the Han Carb 1:1 and was able to modify it somehow so it isnt as high? I want it lowered a bit so it doesnt hit the ceiling but cant figure out how to do that.

 

[budafett]

I don't believe it can be modified nor would I suggest it. The balance of the piece would probably be thrown off.

 

[Veovis]

Could someone with the Han in Carbonite share the details of the PSU (Volts/Amps/Watts)? My statue hasn't been plugged in for a while and I forgot to label my PSUs... Sideshow support don't have the details for it available

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

This got delayed, then waitlisted. Now it's back available for preorder but Sideshow raised the price by $250.

 

[budafett]

I mean $250 probably just covered the extra shipping costs associated with someone so large.

 

[Jaymig926]

For those that have it what’s the exact height ? I’m thinking about it ( my ceiling is 92” )
Thanks in advance

These life size pieces have had free shipping for a long time so yep I'm sure they just raised the base price instead of removing the perceived deal. Glad I ordered awhile back. Was supposed to ship last November, now I'm starting to wonder if it will even arrive when I'm scheduled to have it paid off in August/September.

 

[Jaymig926]

Anyone have the exact height on this ?
That’s again
