Re: bandai - samurai darth vader

its a version of vader done by takeya takayuki.

he's done different version of predator, aliens and other characters in a very organic way.

Did he design the Hot Toys Samurai Predator?

I'm tempted to pass on this and wait for a 1:6 version.

Re: bandai - samurai darth vader

you're correct he did samurai predator, here's a little article on a gallery he had a while back

There's already an existing thread for these figures - still on the front page of this section no less.

'Tamashii Movie Realization' series.

Re: bandai - samurai darth vader

Love it. getting it.
Pf of this would be to die for.. IMO.

 

[demorathis]

Here's some of takayuki takeya's other work
For yoshi-toku (I had to hyphenate) below- ( he also did the samurai predator and his very cool giger type alien pile statue)
who obtained the license to do a high art set of armour based on vader whose design was partly inspired by the kabuto style helmet
I kinda wish he stuck with the grill mouth for the figure....

 

[Quietstorm]

Preorders sold out on bbts..

 

[cstojano]

Preorders sold out on bbts..

So much for them lowering the price I guess. 110 bucks for a 6 inch figure.

 

[creature4000]

I'd buy that armor set!!! Wonder if it's available anywhere.

 

[demorathis]

That armour set 1/4 scale is $3,500 if you get it straight out of japan...imported about $7,000 .
They only make a certain number every year til sold out....
It's considered high art, especially considering that yo****oku has been making armour since they were actually used ( it's like a 300 year old armour maker or something )

 

[Sachiel]

A Royal Gaurd is also planned.

 

[user 19388]

dig that stormtrooper

 

[Tee-Kay]

Those are real works of Art and a refreshing take on the franchise. No too fond of the chest armor though

 

[irezumi]

I totally agree, very refreshing indeed. Not a lot of options out there for distribution, anyone got a heads up which stores online pre-ordering these?
Would liked to PO the Vader at BBTS, pre order sold out though.

You can import it from AmiAmi.
