If you are willing to shell out $300 for the old SS Darth Vader rather than getting the new Medicom or waiting for the new SS, you might just be a bit of a spaz and not thinking things through. Many of you are obviously in your teens because your justifications for why SS is superior reek of fan boyism,...not legtimate points.
If a bit of scale is more important that character accuracy you are officially just a doll collector who suffers deep seeded OCD.t
Sideshow is 4th in overall sixth scale figure quality after Hot Toys, Enterbay and Medicom. If you think SS produces higher quality 1/6 scale than those companies,..you are probably a pre-pube.
Many people said the same thing when Medicoms ROTJ Boba VERSION 2 came out and it turns out it was superior to the SS release.
The only thing SS will have on the new medi is an orgy of accessories to accompany the figure. That being said, the medi accessories are focused and useful and there is no way SS will release a better Sebastian Bach head sculpt when theirs comes out.
I appreciate nice things. I only judge by overall product quality.
SS makes decent statues and busts and they did execute some of the star wars aliens ok.
So, to answer the question. If you REALLY want the "best" Vader figure you should roll with the just released Medi. The voice feature is executed very well as it is loud and crisp and authentic recordings of the actual voice. The outfit and sculpt are detailed with greater craftsmanship and care. The product is simply higher end than the SS will be in every way other than accessory totals....which many times turn out to be overkill and not needed.
