Sideshow ESB/ROTJ Darth Vader

Want to pull the trigger on this bad boy but those legs just look too short for Vader.

I would tell you that the belt and codpiece are too low, but I've already told someone that once, so I'll refer you to the earlier post.

In image 9/14 on sideshow website the belt and the chest box bottom appear very close or atleast closer than other pictures. May be there is a possibility to move the chest box / belt around to change the proportions a bit. in the same image the distance between the chest armour and the top of chest box is also a bit larger than other pics and hence indicating a possibility of adjustment. Or it could just be photography.

It would suck if the belt was fixed at that position.

Agreed. May be they will pleasantly surprise us by making a change. Its rare but no harm in hoping

Most parts on Sideshow figures are adjustable. Every now and then, they aren't. SDCC might shed some light.

If they light up, I imagine you would have to take them off for a battery change. Unless they have a separate box for the cells on his back somewhere.

Unless they are powered from batteries "inside" the body. You know those earphone jack type attachments? HT and SS have used them I think. Where the chest plate "plugs in"?

If so both the belt and the chest plate will be locked into one static position, I hope not.

I didn't think of that, but is all speculation at this point.

That's all we're gonna be doing in here the the next seven months.

Oh, and complaining about the pants.

Personally I don't think they will be fixed. But even if they are, unless strongly glued I'm sure we'll find a way to modify it

I'm not to keen on the chest armor as well...

Don't get me wrong I am happy for a new Vader release, and................to see my fellow board members making modifications to this release in the near future.

I always love custom work, especially the ANH Vader.

I'll wait till I have him in hand before making my judgement

I ordered the exclusive , even though his midichlorian count wasn't listed in the description.

Hopefully the power will be contained in the belt and box separate from the body. If he is as thin as he looks I'd like to beef him up a bit with another body or some padding depending on the height.

You make a very good point, everyone is talking about changing the body to KP muscle bodies, etc. You might be able to, but might also lose the electronics if they are built into the original body. Excellent observation.

Such a fine figure. Hate to miss this one.

Just POd the exclusive. He looks awesome. My first Vader (since the Kenner days.) My HT Luke has been lonely.

Finally got charged the NRD on the EX, and I ordered it within the first couple of hours it was up.

I wish they did this. It takes them 4 /5 Days to charge me.

Bloody Hell, I go away for 3 days and this goes from 401 to 468 post. An still.....I am telling you as a collecter say what you wish. But when this is sold out, your going to say. No dinner and a Movie!
