Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi - 1/6th scale Darth Vader™ Figure

[pixletwin]

Thanks to everyone who posted the videos. Sadly, I realize there is no reasonable way to display Vader with the light up feature in an IKEA detolf. Even if you were to run a cord through the front of the door corner, it would still look so illogical.

What’s wrong with the hole in the top? Thats what I have my cords running through.

I drilled a hole in the bottom of my detolf and ran the cords along the edges and down too the floor. sadly. No idea how I would route a usb cable now.
There's not enough space between the glass shelf and case to run a thick USB cable the same way as the thin diode cords.

Just checked my SS account. "Preparing to ship".

Man, I really hope they fix the proportions on ROTJ Vader on the production piece and don't just reuse everything from the ESB figure. He really looks so stumpy next to the ANH and OWK versions

Just look at the proportion and the helmet...
ESB Vader is good. But OWK Vader is just so much better...

Its funny how the best Vader mask so far is from the arguably worst material with him in it. That OWK mask is quarter scale rotj Vader level good.

Shipped. Should be here by Thursday.

Shipped for me as well. Should be here by Monday. Sucks being across the country from them.

It's no where near as good as the quarter version. It's just the old ANH/R1 helmet/mask regurgitated with a few tweaks to the mouth vent and tusks.
The USB feature is the only big plus this version has over the others.

I agree with you on the source material though.

Old droopy tusks is sadly the poorest of the three.

Shipped! Looks like Label was created late last night so hopefully I get info today on when it will arrive.

I passed on this one ,because I find it stupid to pay extra for an intact helmet. Kind of a rip off

Label created so should ship soon. I’m guessing early next week for me. Surprised how fast this one is coming.

Funny. I looked at it as if they were offering a lower priced option for those that just wanted a battle damaged version. Perspective I guess. Seems like HT is usually damned if they do and damned if they don’t though.

Wonder if the clean helmet is compatible with older Vader releases. Might see if it fits my ANH version to upgrade that figure a bit.

 

[pixletwin]

Label created but no sign of actually shipping. I will be surprised if mine comes tomorrow like it originally said.

No movement on my order, they still have not charged me the last 45.00 I owe.
