Have kinda regretted not getting the mythos kenobi and vader. The vader dx displayed with the anakin sculpt would go pretty well with this piece. I never much cared for all the orange paint on the mythos vader.

I thought the orange paint was pretty cool until I saw someone do a repaint of the statue, and it just looks way better. I understand the lighting effect the orange was trying to give, but it probably just looks funky in certain lighting no matter what.
Re: Sideshow vs Hot Toys figure pricing
This should be obvious, but it's dismissed or forgotten very often: Remember, everything gets mass manufactured in China because it's so much cheaper. It's so cheap because workers get paid so little.
If Sideshow figures were cheaper they'd have to pay their employees wages certainly unbefitting their skill and time, probably not enough to live on in the US.
Conversely, if HT payed their employees respectably, well, if you think they're expensive now...
Not to get political, or make anyone feel bad that people get exploited so we can enjoy these nifty toys and complain about the price, I'm just, y'know. Just sayin'.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Guys I have 5 figures currently pre-ordered at SideShow. Should I pre-order this Obi at BBTS ? Their $4 flat shipment rate seems good, and no NRD..just grab that Boba Fett deluxe at BBTS.
Pretty sure Sideshow sources most of the actual manufacturing overseas though. Sure they've got people in the US who develop their products but I don't think they actually produce their items in the states,Re: Sideshow vs Hot Toys figure pricing
