Wow, the width on this piece is almost 2 feet.

Wow, didn't realize that...it actually won't fit into a Besta unless you angle it slightly.

I saw that and panicked at first, but it looks like they?re counting the lightsaber beam in this measurement. So, it should be turntable to fit in around other statues. If Ventress is any indication, that beam won’t be removable. Hers were attached to the hilt and hands. I frequently rely on being able to remove saner blades to get SW pieces to fit.

It has to be removable since the exclusive has a flaming saber swap out. Or am I not understanding you right?

Both sabers are likely attached to the gloved hand as a solid piece. So you could remove a saber, but then Vader would be missing his left hand.

It wouldn't be the first time he lost a hand.

The previous Mythos pieces had the Sabre beam attached permanently to the hilts and the hand holding them. So, as IcedDog said, the swap out is most likely attached to his hand. Most other companies usually have the beam separate at the hilt, so you can at least have them with an unignited saver if need be.

This is the same as most fans adoration of Vader/Sith/Dark Side as the epitome of tragedy and evil: Overdone and exaggerated

The flaming lightsaber is abysmal. The X-Wing turbine looks like he's cosplaying for a photoshoot at an aircraft junkyard.
The helmetless head sculpt saves the feel of the piece.

I think that is purely intentional not that it makes it any better an artistic decision.
