Hey guys,
I'm looking to add a piece to my Vader collection but, I'm turning in circles, not able to choose. I would like to hear your thoughts.
Short story: Sideshow Life-size bust vs 1:1 Life Size Vader EFX/Rubies
Long story: I was looking to buy SideShow Vader life-size bust. But, I'm one of the lucky guys who got 2 EFX Legend helmet. I was thinking that I could take my 2nd EFX Legend and buy the Rubies Supreme Edition and make a full size 1:1 Vader. BEFORE YOU FLAME ME TO HELL, let me explain why I would disgrace an EFX Legend Helmet with a Rubies:
First off, I think the helmet does the major part of a costume.
Rubies helmet is ugly.
Rubies costume is also an ANH (Tinder match here).
Price wise, costume is 866$ CND. Sideshow Life-size bust is 1100$ USD + (taxes and import).
Sideshow full size Vader is 9K$ USD (FORGET IT!) - Way too muscular too
Anovos would have been a good option BUT not available anymore and it's 1900 USD for the cheapest version (not the full leather quality) without the helmet. Is it THAT good? not sure...
I don't have several K$ to get the pieces on Ebay and customized it, nor the patienc
I could reuse the EFX Base for my Boba Fett MR helmet (I LOVE it but it deserve a better display setup)
I also have a MR FX Lightsaber to replace the Rubies one.
I'm not sure that the quality of Anovos (standard version) vs Rubies is that much.
Bottom line: I don't want to spend 3-4K$ USD but don't want to have a cheap-looking Vader full size. I'm not also a screen-accurate maniac. If Rubies' version (even with EFX Helmet) would look like trash, I rather buy the Life-Size Bust.
Any comments, advice, feedbacks, insults are welcome
