¿What does it mean ES? I don't understand why you're saying color version is more popular than SSE version. Both have the same level of popularity, the difference is that SSE is the rarest.

New from Sideshow for me today are some Star Wars 1/6 figures.

Main one being the brand new 1/6 Darth Vader.

Seriously, there isn't a thing that isn't superb with this piece. The packaging is a joy, the interchangeable hands, various stages of helmet and stands are all great. The addition of the second stand for displaying his unassembled helmet is a fantastic bonus and a worthy piece on it's own. I absolutely would have bought it as a freestanding statue. both bases light up, as does his chest etc. Unfortunately I don't have any batteries, but when I have some will post some pics.

Also grabbed the Tusken Raider 1/6 from Scum and Villiany series, and an Endor commando from the SW Militaries set. Might grab the other two tomorrow.

The Tusken has a lot of great detail, and for what I got the Endor trooper for, price wise, think he is also a great pick up. The miniature leather detail is a real joy to behold. I was really hoping to get some actual statues, but there were none I needed or wanted...... Oh well....

Day 2 of my shopping adventure and I also picked up the Hot Toys Luke Skywalker Bespin outfit DX 07 twin pack . blown away by price, quality and value. 2 fully pose able pieces, each with great displays. total win.

I also grabbed the other two 1/6 sideshow Endor commandos, with the first, they look great. All told very happy with all 7 of my new sideshow/Hot toys 1/6 pieces.

Thanks to help you with it.
You won't regret it if you want to purchase Darth Vader.

Finally got my hands on the last part of the 3 Gi Joe Dioramas ( i posted pics of Snake eyes and Cobra commander earlier in the thread ).

It might be my favourite of the 3 but they are all sooo good and so underrated. First off the sculpt and paints on this again are just so good, SS really nailed it on this line.

I just love the details on this and the overall pose. Flint up to his knees in water, Zartan ready to pounce, the mask/disguise on the tree, the vines and details on the tree, it's all just excellent!

Also the vines are removable as they just clip/hang on the tree above.

The EX, which is Zartan covered completely in camo, isn't needed at all in my opinion, it looks ok but the regular Zartan looks far better.

I doubt SS will go back to GI Joe in statue or Diorama form any time soon but i really hope they do.
