Yes proportions aren't as good as some of the other Darth's out there but I don't think people realize this is based off of Episode 3. He's going to look different because he's played by a different actor so the suit had to change. Anyway this is my first Star Wars collectible and I'm sure it will be the first of many.


Yes indeed he looks good, specially in person. Congrats.

this is your first Star Wars piece?????? What where you doing the last 30 years????

Good luck with this piece. YOu have to really control the temperature for this piece. I got a chrome Darth Vader bust that is all cracked up on the surface. My brother has the chrome Darth vader statue, the chrome finish on the leg is starting to show some cracks as well.

Congrats on this piece and Good Luck

Is this problem with the chrome pieces common. Has it happened to anybody else ?
