Some great pics, there, Momaw and Verbal. Think Vader looks pretty good in comparison with the troops (height wise). Really looking forward to receiving mine around Feb 10th, and hopefully without any issues. :pray:

Man, I love this shot... really shows off how great the overall figure turned out. Well done Sideshow and another awesome pic Rubio :rock
 
Yeah, love that shot. One of my favourite scenes in the trilogy, as I'm sure is true for almost everyone. Rubio did a nice job of staging that.
 
These pics look great. Making the wait even harder. Mine has said on truck for delivery since 3pm Saturday. With the added disclaimer of delivery being the next scheduled delivery day which is Monday. So close yet so far makes the wait even longer.
 
Is it only the "Exclusive" that is shipping right now? Is the "regular" on the second batch?
I spoke with Christina and she told me they're waiting for a second batch to arrive. It was held up in custom so there's a delay in shipping peoples order out. Mine is an exclusive as well so I'm not sure if this new batch coming in will be holding any regular editions.
 
Just chatted with Sideshow and was told their shipping department is behind on orders. My Vader will ship out "sometime this week." I asked if they offer expedited shipping, which they do, but was told I couldn't upgrade since the order has already been processed. The wait continues.
 
Vader is awesome. Totally happy with it. Wasn't happy paying $250 though, would have preferred a basic Vader figure, sans huge stand I'll never use, mask display I'll never use and lights I'll never use.

Here's some quick shots.


Incidentally, the display dome works fan-fawkin-tastic on ANH Vader :yess: :yess:

Oh, wrapped some gardeners tap around the forearms to beef them up, worked great. Also hacked off some of the mask under the dome to make it sit more to my preference, cool that Sideshow has the scared back of Vader's head under the dome, even though no one will ever see it.

Also height is a non issue with me this time around, its still too big but not enough to waist time or money on mods.

Everything is such a HUGE improvement over ANH Vader. Top to bottom, everything screams quality. Better than any Sideshow 1/6 product I've seen in hand.

So you only modded the forearms?

Great pics, BTW! :rock
 
Got mine today. Will open as soon as the kids are in bed! For those in the UK worrying about not opting for extra packaging, if it helps, mine arrived with shipper and box in perfect condition.
 



I swear I thought this was a photo of the actual costume.

SSc did an amazing job.

That being said, this figure is a strange beast. Some angles and shots, he looks PERFECT. Others, the helmet looks off. I'm sure it's due to the gap between his traps and helmet.


Dammit. I already have one ordered. I'm strongly considering getting a 2nd one.
