Cinemaquette - Darth Vader

[Ash Housewares]

Being Cinemaquette you can bet they will change an already great design now to screw it up by the time it ships eg. Indy, Superman.

Wow you just posted the exact same trash at SF. You're so awesome.

For a $2000-$2500 personally I'd expect more than that. This is not the $15 Hasbro action figure. I agree that it looks phenomenal, but not sure if it looks $2000 phenomenal...

That is what I was thinking

The wow factor of the predator CM isn't here. But none the less I will think it over to buy this.

What did they change on Superman?

What are ES typically on CM pieces? I was thinking they were usually under 100.

 

[Darth Waller]

I think they've typically been around 1,000. Multiply that by 1,500 or 2,000 and that's some serious coin a good CM release can bring in.

I would say the Endo and then this ESB Vader are CM's best.

Wow..... Freakin awesome..... CM pieces are always out of my budget though

This looks great. Wonder how good the lightsaber looks lit up. Damn that price though, shall remain more of a dream piece for me.

So I guess this was their ESB anniversary answer...damn fine one too...but it's over 2K then OMG that will never see the light of day in my house.

 

[Darth_Pain]

This will be mine.
If they don't fix the chest armor, I'll have to fix it myself. I don't plan on displaying the Anakin portrait so, I don't really care about the open mouth.

Lightsaber ON !

Holy cow... Looks like a mini FX saber. Puts Sideshow's to shame.

 

[Darth Waller]

That will look sweet in a darker environment.

 

[GrayWolf87]

Lit up lightsaber looks damn nice! So wish I could afford this!

 

[ambasah]

very nice!

You only have to save $5.50 or so a day for the next year.

Never really think of it like that!

Either way, shall need to get some sort of steady income first!

Looks great though!

 

[Vader AL]

Lightsaber ON !

Chestbox too.

Wasn't really a fan of this personally, the costuming was too bulky for my tastes - esp the thickness of the cape.
