$1690.

I've never wanted a Star Wars figure more in my life.

Cool... not $1700 cool though.

I'm glad I don't have a Vader-focus collection, since I'd want this no question.

I'd spend that on this before I'd willingly pay it in taxes.

Ok, I'll agree with that.

Hmmmm.... Looks like a second rate kit bash to me. Certainly not worth $1700 to me.

Meh, an interesting exercise, but hand me that kind of cash and I'll go out and pick off a couple of grails instead.

It looks like it's based on the Yosh(i)toku armor produced in 2007 for Boy's Day. It was quarter scale, and about a grand.



Yosh(i)toku Company make dolls and has been around since 1711. I imagine their quality is a bit higher than a second rate hobbyist's. But now that I see the original armor, the figure is nothing compared to that. I'd rather have the armor set.

EDIT: On second thought, the doll is awesome. I'll take both.

No doubt. Still looks like a second rate hobbyist's work though.

Well said fellas..

My family has a samurai doll/figure thing that is supposed to be passed down to the first born son of every generation. Unfortunately, I'm second so I get nothing.

Whadda punk.

lol.

I can't think of too many pieces discussed around here that I'd pay that kind of money for. None, actually. This is the closest thing to grail I can conceive of.

thanks for sharing..that thing is awesome!

Try closer to $5,000

Yo____oku is made both the doll as well as the set of armour .. therefore they already have the sculpt -- I just wish Yo____oku made a full Vader helmet...

funny how it edits "yo____oku" -- Yo shi to ku

Looks fine , but 1000$ , no way ........
