I wish the base would comprise two parts (one being firmly inserted into the other), giving you the option to display the statue like above, instead of this:



Difficult to pull off, though, I know.

It's just that, as it is, the base actually detracts from the illusion of stairs.

Someone needs to ask XM the hypothetical "IF XM were to do Star Wars and IF XM did Darth Vader, would XM aim for proper lights all over his suit?"

$500.00 ? Maybe this one will be made in Japan.

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

Not impressed for $500. And even if I use all of my reward points I've collected for more than five years I'd still be paying what should be the normal $300 price tag.

Sideshow drops the ball again.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Man, I wish they'd realize that we don't all want to display these Sith/Jedi with an ignited blade. I'm sure that I'm not alone in preferring just the hilt, or at least give us an option. The lights aren't on that often, and it looks like a hasbro saber just sitting there unlit. Just my 2 cents.

I was looking forward to this release but after seeing the pics, I'm not excited anymore. I'm tired of the "one leg up poses" and $500 is too much for this statue in my opinion.

I don't understand the critiques of the "one leg up poses". Bipedal beings will have one leg up at some point during movement. For a dynamic sculpt, you're going find some form of "one leg up".

I would rather have the one leg up pose as opposed to a museum type pose where the character is just standing there.

I'm not trying to be harsh, I just don't understand why this is such an issue.

So does the base light up too? I'm trying to figure out the $500 price tag.
