Sideshow ESB/ROTJ Darth Vader

[CollectorGuy]

It looks really great in those pics. Honestly, stuffing the arms to make them look a little fuller is all I'll probably do.

I like the Anakin sculpt a lot too.

How would be a good way to do that?

I am not digging this pic. I didn't have major issues with pics / video thus far but (perhaps lighting) really shows the plastic dome / shoulder armor. I wish it looked more metallic than plastic for $250. Eh well.....

Remove the suit. Wrap light fabric or paper around the arm and fasten it. Replace suit.

I was thinking about this and realized that gorilla tape would actually be perfect for that.

Hmm never done anything like that on a figure before What would be a good choice of material to use and to fasten it with?

The cheapest way to do it would be tissues and scotch tape. However...

No kidding. You'd never have to worry about it coming undone, and it's got good bulk to it.

It's also smooth, so the body suit could move freely.

Wow those pics look amazing I seriously stoked to get mine for the millionth time!!!!

 

[Dr. Odd]

Yep, I can't frigging wait...

I thought for sure I was going to have to cancel him because Batman is shipping this month.

Since I'm not in the first batch, I get charged Tuesday.

Looking great ships next week woohoo finally

Is there a link to the regular version?

Besides dusting, looks like that new dome will work nicely on the old ANH Vader.

I have to agree. The dome and shoulder armour do look very plastic. It could be the lighting. Damn this is a tough one. On one hand it's ****IN Vader why is this not a easy purchase. One the other hand I don't want to drop $250 to have something the looks like "hasbro" plastic.

Damn you $250 it should not be tough it is only a action figure.

Did the prop costume not look like plastic?

 

[OSCORP]

I'm still on the fence as well. But i sure like what i'm seeing so far.

 

[Bo Shrek]

Best pictures I've seen of this guy.

I have to agree. Dark lighting and everything looks good!

 

[devilof76]

The only thing that even remotely bothers me is that goofy *** lightsaber.

I was thinking the same thing.

1 I don't think this dome will work on the Anh version as the new mask is smaller I think.
2 the anh vader looks plastic too as do my troopers, my Luke my Hans and even my iron men
