Premium Format Darth Vader [ROTJ]

[Fastball Special]

I'm thinking (hoping) this will be the one that finally surpasses my Attakus v1 Vader statue. I still love that thing!

Oh man the Attakus one is really nice. I'm inhe same boat. Really hope they hit this one out of the park.

the pose already lost to the Attakus unfortunately for me.. nothing beats the menacing appearance of the Attkus..... OR if HT brings theirs out finally so you can pose it the same way but mixed media and 1/4

but this is mixed media and 1/4 as well :

Fabric costume over polystone body and light up saber blade (and potentially other light up features).

yes but the sideshow pose bothers me... and to me vader do not need a ignited lightsaber at all tbh..

 

[Drakul]

Anyone else going to use this as THE Vader statue to own ?

I might, I'm still on the fence for this one and when it was announced at $500 it was the beginning of huge spikes and drove me from collecting a bunch of stuff.
However since I'm now buying very few pieces I'm reconsidering and debating selling my whole Star Wars Mythos line to focus on Sith PFs. Having Vader and Kylo Ren pushes me in that direction (especially if Maul turns out good.)

Indeed. C'mon Hot Toys get moving. LOL!

I completely agree with MYC. Vader doesn't need his lightsaber to be a threat. The Attakus got the v1 pose just right, & ruined it with the v2. The option to choose the pose is the main reason why I'm looking forward to the HT 1/4 scale Vader... & praying that it's NOT the ROTS version.

From the pics they've released so far, HT's version is ROTS Vader, but anything can happen.

Exactly. Vader can be impressive without a plastic pole in his hands. Examples: Attakus 1, Gentle Giant Kneeling ESB Vader, 1/10 Koto Bespin.

I may be, depending on how it turns out. Still a little concerned with the pose. Not very excited about the huge ES either. Waiting for in hand pics before I think about pulling the trigger. Hoping it turns out well. It would be nice to pair with Fett.

For me, Vader absolutely needs to have a lightsabre in hand. The light sabre is one of his signatures. Other than the Mythos piece which I prefer to pose without it, if I only have one quarter scale piece in my collection, he needs a nicely lit lightsabre!

 

[Vader AL]

There is no reason why SS can't give us options and have a lit (bladed) lightsaber and a hilt only option. Heck maybe even an empty hand option.

pssssst....myc....you can do those!

Would have been a nice EX. Instead we get no EX.

Simple too.

Really weird how Vader of all characters doesn't have an EX.

I love that statue, possibly my favorite Vader statue but it's not the most menacing Vader

Not the most menacing, but very memorable.

I sold the mythos last year so I could get the PF
