I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

The only thing I like about this is the pose, which is much better than on the PF.

If he stood next to the Storm Trooper, while it would give a better idea of size, it might make the Trooper look like a small child,
thus kill the effect For some reason this image came to mind.

Anything that doesn't give an accurate idea of the size is pointless. That pic makes no sense at all.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

I have to agree. This is the absolute worst size comparison photo in the history of size comparison photos from Sideshow.

Dear Sideshow,

Forced perspective is a technique which employs optical illusion to make an object appear farther away, closer, larger or smaller than it actually is. It manipulates human visual perception through the use of scaled objects and the correlation between them and the vantage point of the spectator or camera.

Doesn't have an art box. It's double boxed. The upper armor is adjustable except the right forearm. The leg armor is fixed. Box is a pain to move and UPS left it at my neighbor's house so that was extra lifting I had to do.

Congratulations on the pick up. Looks great in the pics and appears close to the prototype. Are you happy with the quality? Will make for a nice accompaniment with the Vader.

I like it. I’m getting a second one soon since I need two with Vader.
