Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I?m thinking something crazy like 7500.

I?m surprised they?re revealing this now, with the new PF up for preorder. I would be cancelling that one in favour of this if I had it ordered. I know this is 1/4, but it?s a lot more inspired.

I really like most of it but that exposed robot leg is a little too much battle damage imo, how often does someone lose an entire boot and pant leg in battle? If he was a regular human he’d look like a hobo barefoot with half a pair of cut off jeans

The rest looks really good, I would say a battle damaged mask seems an obvious choice for a switch out at this point

Absolutely loved the original Mythos Vader, but being fairly new to collecting he was long gone by the time I noticed him. No way I’m missing out on this one. Day one PO for me.

I think we can all relate to the regret one feels walking through fire without flame resistant boots.

The only way the old one wins is when Vader is holding his helmet. (Which is the only way he should be displayed imo) but if you keep the helmet on..this wins hands down. Day one PO for me.

I like it aesthetically and also from the standpoint it's something different that we rarely see from Vader. For him to have sustained that kind of damage, it must've been one hell of a battle, with who or what, we can only imagine

I was torn at first because I wanted a different character, but the more I see it the more I love it...glad this will be my first Vader piece. That cape is just
