Just got my GG Vader bust

Mine came into my LCS this week and man I love it! It looks really awesome. Heavy too. Nice job.

It had a production run of 20,000. WOW. This probably won't be worth anything (like the first one), but it is a really great piece. I couldn't be more pleased.

I just got my Vader this past week as well, my first Star Wars bust.
I gotta tell you though, if you can get your hands on a laser pointer - shine it down through the top of Vaders light saber and this totally takes the bust to a whole new level of coolness.
Now I just gotta figure out how to secure the Laser pointer to the ceiling in a secure and immoble fashion...

I got mine yesterday. It's larger than the other one. Looks a little out of place.

Yeah this is my first as well. I thought it was pretty big for a bust, but I didn't have any other star wars busts to compare it to. I didnt realize it wasn't in scale with the others.

Actually, the new Vader is in scale with the others. The first Vader is too small.

Mine is sitting at my LCS right now (damn its arrival four days before Christmas!) but I am similarily impressed.

This is my second Star Wars bust, the first being a Stormtrooper...can't wait to assemble my evil empire on my bookcase!

Its an awesome bust. Now we just need an ANH version to complete the major variations.

I am thinking of buying a case (8 come in a case) and giving 7 of them out to my buddies as holiday gifts. Is the bust nice enough that non-comic/non-star wars collectors who just liked the movie would display it?
