Premium Format Darth Vader [ROTJ]

[epitaph04]

"What is so special about polystone?" is a damn good question. It's freaking plastic with a bit of powder added to it. POLYURETHANE = PLASTIC. Some of you guys are so stubborn.

I bet actual statue collectors (I'm talking artifacts and bronze and gold and ****) must look down at us and our cheapo poly-plastic figurines and dollies.

Reminds me of the whole "weight - quality" BS. I hope some day, these weigh hundreds of pounds, so collectors can get herniated disks trying to get their new PFs onto a table.

Nothing special, but the pvc just feels like a empty plastic bottle.

 

[LOTRfan85]

Well I am delighted with myn, and I know Kylo will be great, if you don't like it just don't buy it, some like it some don't

 

[federico]

Ok, I missed that. Kylo's head is pvc too? What the .....

that's like saying Stainless Steel is just iron with a little chromium mixed in. The properties of the material change meaningfully when you "mix it" with other materials.

PVC is fine, and you may enjoy it the same, but polystone has a completely different feel to it. So why the need to dismiss the opinions of collectors that prefer polystone vs 100% PVC. Folks use the term "plastic" referring to PVC and not polystone just as shorthand to differentiate the two, because at the end of the day they are different materials. that is a fact.

I got rid of all my PVC statues after a few of them became gooey.... something to do with plasticizers or what not... Polystone might have some plastic in it but it also has crushed rock in it to give it a different feel and look to a statue so to say it's exactly same as PVC is not exactly true...

I have no problem with plastic being used for Fett and Vader's helmets, they look great IMO and that's most important to me. The only time that I would prefer a polystone head would be for a human or creature sculpt.

Anyway, here's my Vader in his final spot.

...and my journey to The Dark Side is now complete.

Yeah your darkside is complete, myn will be complete with Kyloren PF. I agree I have no problem, we not playing with these statues we just displaying with them, and the helmets are brilliantly crafted. With a new phone my photo's will be done with justice now

Even when pictured on a level plane to the statue, that Vader head is tilted so far back. I mean, he's really looking way up there. LOL!

This is true. I love this PF but if I could change two things:

- More range of movement with the head

- A little more bulk to the upper body/broader shoulders

Even with the head-tilt it is amazing in person.

Are you sure he isn't doing an upskirt to someone on the 2nd floor?

What is he looking at? If his head was looking straight or down he would be sitting next to my Boba PF

Isn't he supposed to be looking up at Luke as he walks along the catwalk... just before he throws his sabre at him. "There is NO conflict!"

Yup. Exactly.

Such an awesome display! Congrats! Vader looks amazing in that set up.

 

[Phastroh]

Thanks but soon I'll update my shelves thread. I've got a lot to show that I've been working on.

Kylo Ren will be going under Vader with his own custom space. I have been getting other non Star Wars stuff ready.
