Better question might be why wouldn't it? Given recent prices and the fact that Boba, a piece without electronics, was $450 it stands to reason it would be at least $50 more. You never know though but I personally don't see it being less than $500.

IMO......the pose looks very unnatural.....

I could play devil's advocate and say that light up does not impact on the final price (that's what has been said, can't recall if it was Alex or Igo).
But I understand that the final price is going to be determined "because he's that character". Same reason why Rhino was 400 and new Hulks 550.
500$ is definitely a high price tag, even taking into account the size and details of the character.

I think both arms should come in. Not just one. The lightsaber can stay where it is so he'd look very similar to something like what's in this photo. He looks everything like you would want Vader to look like in this pic. Why can't Sideshow just do poses for iconic movie characters the right way? CR Supes and now this one? I'm sure there's more I'm missing as of late. Keaton was perfect, however.

Thank god......I was actually worried that we might run out of one leg up posed statues.....phew. Good thing we found those sweet stairs.

Maybe they just found a way to reuse the molds on stairs.(Ghulk, 1989 batman, dr.doom, batman, superman, snowtrooper......all)

And I don't know if there is any point of saying what should be done to the statue. has sideshow ever changed one? anyways, now im on the fence, we definitely planning on buying this one, but it looks awkward.

Sideshow just makes it easier and easier to stay away from their product. I am just not understanding the art direction here.

That's what they said after the light up feature was taken out after they released the preorder having said it would have one. They didn't reduce the price after it was taken out.

I know it's artistic interpretation but Vader never once tried to look big... He just was.

maybe hes pretending he is riding his Harley,. ?




i still like it though as of now. but i can get why some wouldn't like him in that pose. but the design and sculpt looks incredible from what i can tell so far compared to the first one. and for that, im in.. for now..

nope. This one just seems off.
