Vader: Stitching, Hands & other Issues Discussion

Sideshow, please remove the visible stitch lines from Vader's costume

I realize that Vader is a prototype, so there is still time to make improvements. Overall, Vader's head sculpt and armor look phenomenal. But to make this the A+ figure it deserves to be, please figure out a way to tailor the fabric without showing the stitch lines. Below, you can see that Medicom was able to make Vader's cape and gown without stitch lines. I know you guys are capable of this. Keep up the great work!

There has to be one.

Re: Sideshow, please remove the visible stitch lines from Vader's costume

If you didnt tell,i wouldnt even have noticed the stitches.

Re: Sideshow, please remove the visible stitch lines from Vader's costume

i think every 1/6 figure ever has visible stitches. deal with it.

Re: Sideshow, please remove the visible stitch lines from Vader's costume

Score one for the SW fans

Re: Sideshow, please remove the visible stitch lines from Vader's costume

If they can hide it, I'm all for it. But it's not a deal breaker for me.

Re: Sideshow, please remove the visible stitch lines from Vader's costume

From my experiances with Sideshow, the prototype is always better than the production piece so the chances that the prototype gets better are none and zero.

From my experiances with newbs with less than 30 posts, the earlier posts is always better than the newer posts so the chances that the next post gets better are none and zero.

Stay classy, Star Wars fans.

Re: Sideshow, please remove the visible stitch lines from Vader's costume

Stiches aside, one of those looks like it could be a film still to me and the other doesn't. I much prefer the look, feel and hang of the fabric on the first version.

Re: Sideshow, please remove the visible stitch lines from Vader's costume

SS is not HT or Medicom especially when it comes to tailoring. I don't expect it to be fixed,(prove me wrong SS) I don't like it but it's not a deal breaker for me either. Everything else looks good.

Now that you mention that, you are correct. Does anyone have a pic of the Medi in similar lighting?

Re: Sideshow, please remove the visible stitch lines from Vader's costume

It just looks to me like they've used either a white/light coloured cotton, or a synthetic one that is reflecting the light and/or flash. I doubt that obvious stitching will be a problem in hand.

Re: Sideshow, please remove the visible stitch lines from Vader's costume

Here's another pic of Medicom Vader, although it looks like his helmet needs to be adjusted down a bit. I agree that Sideshow has done a fantastic job on the helmet, mask, chest piece, gloves, and belt. But I do prefer how Medicom's cape looks.

Re: Sideshow, please remove the visible stitch lines from Vader's costume

I'll have to say that I noticed that stitching too, but I imagine that it won't be as noticeable in person.

Re: Sideshow, please remove the visible stitch lines from Vader's costume

Thanks for the better pics of Medi Vader--that doesn't look as bad.

Re: Sideshow, please remove the visible stitch lines from Vader's costume

Wow, I haven't even looked at my Medi Vader or any for that matter since SSC's debut, but my appreciation and satisfaction with the SSC helmet has gone up considerably. I always found some faults with the Medi helmet from some angles and certain lighting, but the hit harder now.

Re: Sideshow, please remove the visible stitch lines from Vader's costume

Justin you'd probably ask for the fake boobs to be taken out of playboy. I saw it in person and did not notice the stitches.
