Is Vader asking for help or something?

Is Vader asking for help or something?

Maybe trying to fondle a Rancor?

 

[Cavlcade]

He's saying "Help me, my face is sore from being crammed into this tiny mask."

Can't wait for the 3 way review between revoltech, figuarts and mafex stormies. Mafex looks the best atm, appearance wise but I know figuarts make these things well so will have to see.

not at all in the 6" line and all those companies jumping in lately isn't helping. Far too many similar items available if you ask me. That might kill the market.

Stormtrooper looks great.

Very nice indeed!

Stormie looks nice, but I know I'm not going to want to pay $65 for it.

Stormie has small head syndrome there...severely

Every single one of these new 6" product lines looks craptastic, IMO. I can't even come to a decision on which is best and worst of the bunch.

You mean 1/12 right?

I think they look pretty good considering other products in this scale. I am a little worried about the proportions on Vader and that Stormtrooper head does look small. However, I think these capture the quality of Medicom's earlier 1/6 scale releases pretty well considering they are half the size. In fact, I think Vader's head is just a shrunken down version of the same 1/6 sculpt. I suspect that in hand, these will look a lot better than Hasbro's offerings.

Oops. I actually meant to write 6"

I am a little worried about the proportions on Vader and that Stormtrooper head does look small.

The proportions for all of these guys are all over the map. How about the "Revoltech" series where it looks like every character has been replaced by a thin female fashion model wearing (feminine) SW-themed costumes? That includes Vader and the Stormtroopers.

However, I think these capture the quality of Medicom's earlier 1/6 scale releases

Which could by why these are lumped in with the other craptastic 6" figures. I can't stand Medi's 1/6 SW figures, especially the Stormtrooper. That said, this one actually reminds me of the Kenner 3 3/4" figure from 1977. It looks like the head is fused to the shoulder armor.

I actually prefer Revoltech over these.

Kaiyodo have their unique take on stylizing characters, save us the trouble for accuracy debates

What's with the small things on the Stormtroopers? SSC 1:6 has a small cod piece, this one has a small head. Are these companies racist?

Vader should be taller and all the figures need bigger heads.

Now, if only Sideshow were in charge, your wish would have come true

Unfortunately for those interested, someone in Medicom did the image with Vader in the wrong manner, since it contradicts the technical information between the two figures because there is a difference of 10 mm in height.

 

[Pixelpiper]

Strangely enough, I passed the above through Google translate using random destination languages 4 or 5 times, then back to English to produce this result:

Unfortunately for us this photo health is equipped with it, because it is contrary to technical information between the two numbers, because there is a height difference of 10 mm.
