Official Sideshow 1/6 ANH Darth Vader PHOTO Thread

[darthviper107]

Hopefully this will be here in time for my birthday on Sunday--not that anything is depending on it, but it would be nice.

Prepare your collections, he is coming.

Whoa....Maulfan sure has a talent for taking great pictures. Even though I have a good camera I completely suck at it.

Anyways I'm glad this piece is finally coming home.

Does the boot allow for ankle articulation? similar to HT batman boots'?

Surprisingly no. Hopefully this can be modded.

sucks...I wish sideshow would do somehing about the boots...such a waste to the ankle articulation. I bet medicom Vader has better boot articulation. However, the other aspect of the figs, such as height, sculpt, paint are excellent.

Ankle articulation is what makes figures fall over. Thanks, but I'll keep the regular style boots.

Vader doesn't need any ankle movement, he just stands there. Except when Luke wifflebat his ass.

My TDK Batman is posed without a stand and he remains balanced for indefinite periods of time. Feet that are flat on the ground independent of leg position enable a figure to remain stable. Shoe soles that are required to remain perpendicular to the legs at all times cause stability problems in all accounts unless a figure is standing at perfect attention.

Yep, if the ankle joints are done properly it definitely makes a figure more stable without the need of a stand. The Takara Bats is a good example of this.

Well, my HT batman still stands well without the stand, as long as you align the feets to remain perpendicular. It would have been cool to have vader's boot as such. But yes, the figure is too cool to let it pass

it's like fighting using a platform shoes

I agree with both of you :maul
