which vader should i get?

hey guys, how are ya?

well i'm not the type of collector who would have more that one statue or bust of the same character, so i have to make a choice between 1 of the following 3 vaders. so i wanted to ask for your opinions first. plz try to give a reason y to choose the vader you like.

1-gentle giant vader <--i just think his legs are kinda short!!
2-sideshow vader<--- kinda expensive but big and great
3- the new kataboyaka vader<-- lovvve the pose, cheap.

what do u think?

After seeing the new pics of Vader from Fantacular, I think that the Sideshow version is the best. I'm sure that the many GG fans on this forum would disagree with me, but I think the SS is the one to get if you can afford it. I've got both the exclusive and the non-exclusive on order because I can't decide which one I want. I'm going to see the Mouse Droid in person and then decide if it is worth keeping the exclusive. I'll just sell the one I don't want on Ebay. I'm sure these will be going for big bucks at the time of release due to Ep. 3 hype.

The GG version does look excellent though, and I'm not getting it only because it's in a different scale than the SS version. I don't think you can go wrong with GG or SS.

I would stay away from the Koto, but that's just personal taste. They look too plastic and stylized for my taste. They really remind me of the Unleashed figures.

i agree with you in terms that the sideshow is the best in terms of likness and scale, but the problem is in the price, i also collect the unleashed, and 300 can get me almost half of the line.

but again the size of the sideshow version is great and gives vader the glory he has.

If price is an object than get the GG version for about $160 from a dealer or save up $300-$350 for the SS version. Your going to have quite a while to save up.

I don't know if we'll see this piece until 2006. In fact, I really hope that one of the 2 new LOTR steed pieces or Vader slips to 2006. Sauron, the 2 steeds, and Vader are all scheduled for the 4th quarter at the moment! That's a lot of money to pay at one time.

Sideshow Vader for sure. I am a fan now, since they corrected the helmet. This version is going to be INCREDIBLE! The 1/4 line does not dissapoint.

The GG one looks too short but I guess it's correct, since it is the Ep3 Vader. I do not like it at all. Save your money and buy the Sideshow version. You can still find it at some retail sites.

Koto kits are ok but the quality is lacking.

My own thoughts on this is I think Sideshow's Vader will be the one to have in your collection.

Sideshow Darth Vader.

I don't collect too much Star Wars pieces. Mostly, LOTR but the SS Darth Vader is joining my collection with open arms.

I have to check the new vader pix, but I hate to say it... Price vs What your getting ~the new kataboyaka vader

Rob the Sideshow Vader will be the one to get and be sought after in the future. If it were me I would find a way to get the 1/4 Vader cancel some other orders, sell blood whatever but this is the one your going to want.

I was asking myself the same question about 2 months ago.
But I went and bought myself a Attakus Vader. I was Wowed when I first saw it. It is far the best Vader out there. but If I were to choose one from those 3 choices, I'd get kataboyaka vader. Price is good and will still get a descent Vader. SS Vader need some work, so can't tell for now. If you have him on order, maybe good idea to keep it.
Good luck
