I really would like to get my hands on a new 12″ Darth Vader figure and General Grievous with some accessories. Any plans in the near future?
Hopefully you’ve had a look at our General Grievous figure! We are developing a new Darth Vader too, and we’ll be showing him off sometime in early 2012.

Early 2012, isn't that like... right now? :lol

KillKen · Feb 4, 2012

Ummm I will give them till end of march as early 2012... Sound fair

I hope it's ESB Vader and with a better proportioned dome too. I just couldn't pull the trigger on the last version SS made

ezewok · Feb 4, 2012

I thought is was the ROTJ version...

Hayden couldn't fill the suit like Prowse. Baby Vader.

Wanderer · Feb 4, 2012

Prowse was an ex bodybuilder well over 6ft. Haydn was a scrawny dude who'd struggle to fill Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman suit. Big fail there in a list of fails of GL

Yeah, there's an interview on RS somewhere where they said they're not even allowed to look at ROTS reference pics until ALL 3 OT Vader's are out

I agree.......you could tell the outfit didnt fit him - at all

They'll most likely show it at SDCC.

that was the point... imagine the pump to Vader's body after 20 some odd years of having to work his new mechanics.

Wanderer · Feb 5, 2012

In the making of, they admitted to padding out the Vader suit to make him more Prowse like proportionally. Your point does make sense though as he stumbled off the operating table dragging his feet about, you'd presume he would bulk up over time....I still think he looked ridiculously skinny wearing the DV armour though...

It's a hybrid Emp-Jedi version. I've 'seen' it. You will want to pull the trigger on this one for sure.
