Iron Studios 1/4 Darth Vader

[TechLife]

Yes, someone’s needs to do a 1/4 scale Yoda. With a well done base it would sell well.

I can’t understand why no one has done yet in this scale, especially Sideshow.

Would sell better than the life size

I couldn't agree more. I desperately want a 1/4 Yoda. Maybe with a Dagobah base, levitating rock option, swap out heads, etc. Similar to what HT did with their last figure. Anyway, IIRC there is a licensing issue which is why SS's 1/4 Yoda was on Luke's back. I can't remember the specifics of what I read. It's been a while and I'm old.

I do not know what can possibly be said that hasn’t already. I have owned a bunch of PFs, 1/3 scale, lifesize, 1/6 scale in my almost 20 years of collecting. This is the best vader IMO that i have owned and or seen. I am ecstatic to say the least. I am def thinking of losing the saber as most of the arms look incredible on this one.

That boba behind the IS vader, is that the sideshow PF?

Any place left to still buy this for retail price?

That looks like the hot toys 1/4 scale fett.

It looks like the HT 1/4 scale Boba Fett. I had that once upon a time but sold it to a friend to pay for the ESB PF Boba. Both very nice pieces.

Love that last shot Enzo! Very nice SW collection and good mix of 1/4 scale vs. Sixth scale.

So Sideshow isn’t aloud to do a yoda unless it’s accompanied by another character?

Licensing is weird.

Does make you wonder why that is though?

Maybe it’s pricing. License for a yoda alone would be expensive vs a partial when add in another figure.

Yoda is considered a puppet and therefore, for whatever reason, falls into the prop category and can therefore not be done as a single character.

I don't know if Lucasfilm is/will change licensing parameters now that Disney is steering the ship. I'm sure the mouse has some level of influence.

I love that display option also.. I did not think I would but it really looks great in person.

It will be two hands on Saber or this other option 99 % of the time.


I may go with the no Saber hand and the "Join me as father and son" hand the other 1% of the time.

Yup, I’ll rotate those three.

There's already been tons of positive feedback. This one is a big win for Iron Studios.

Congrats to their team that worked on this one. They deserve all the praise this piece is getting.

Just put this beast together. The presence it commands is just pure awesomeness. Mine came with a loose piece of polystone in the base but everything looks great so far. I'll have another look when I tackle the cape.

As to the lightsaber it looks like most have a faint bend at the connection?

 

[burtial]

I also have a loose piece rattling around in the base.

Same, loose piece in the base and a few other issues I'll post once I have a chance.

Okay people, here's what I'm seeing in regards to the "bent" saber. When the lightsaber is put in, with the shroud facing the wrong way, it will look bent.

Note how the shroud is, when looking at the control box, in the unlit one. If you spin the blade around a bit, one way will be crooked while another will seat better. I've found when I have the orientation of the shroud with the control box, like the unlit one, it straightenes up.

I've noticed on some pics from collectors who have the shroud flipped, opposite of what you posted, it's straighter than mine. Even with the ring pointed down mine has a slight bend.

It's weird because you'd probably put R2 in the same category then? They sell him in PF separately now?

 

[It's Sisko]

Congrats to everyone that got one of these, and hopefully the Freaks on the waitlist will get some conversions!

I can't wait to see what's next from them.. they confirmed it's a jedi

I cannot wait to see whatever they reveal next. They have been so quiet about the Star Wars line I thought they may have dropped it or lost the license. Super excited to see more IS Star Wars!

There was an actual person inside of R2, so that's probably why it's not in the puppet/prop category.

Where did you hear this? I have to wonder why 1:4 scale would require he be paired with another character but not 1:6 or 1:1.

Has anyone said what type of batteries the chest box and belt take?

Here’s the batteries...1 for chest box and 2 for belt. View attachment 374767

^This could help you^
