Hopefully this one won't have a plastic head.

Why is this an issue for collectors? Plastic allows for the same high polish finish that you see on the original fiberglass cast helmet from the films. As long as the sculpt is of high fidelity, I don't see how it impacts the overall quality of the piece.

The helmet is the least area of concern on this piece. It's just so....not Vader. Why are his clothes so ill-fitting? I wonder what the sculpt looks like underneath because he seems way too slender.

Speaking of Vader's helmet. Is there a good place to get replica helmets? DM me if you know of some sites I should check out.

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

The legs on this one actually bothers me the most.

They kind of look scrawny and the suit looks 'baggy' not fitting

What bothers me the most is that it's another flippin' Darth Vader. Come on, there are so many other characters they could have done.

Kudos to them for doing Ahsoka, but they could have done so many others rather than another Vader.

Maybe it's a young Vader and he hasn't "filled" out yet lol

The more i look at the piece, the more two oddities stand out.
1. The legs, they don't really look like Vader legs. They appear to look on the thin side, lacking in menace.
2. The legs, the way they are posed. Has Vader ever stood like that? ..there is a hint of ballet dancer about them. There is some forward lean going on also.

The illusion of fabric on the legs paints an illusion of super thin silk material in use. The crotch creases add to the thin silk illusion.

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

I Cant tell from these pictures, but I'm guessing no. The fold in his pants look very sculpted. I guess we'll find out
