Sideshow 12" Darth Vader/Anakin (SDCC'06 Exclusive)

[JesseVader08]

I got through pretty easily and ordered one. You're welcome to it Beth if you'd like it.

Thanks for the offer, Brent.  You might be albe to help out your fellow Canucklehead (aka: Jesse - The Painter) though  .

Jesse, you want?

Yes, please. 

[JesseVader08]

Here's a cool surprise - his lightsaber lights up.

Oh. Great.

Now I really want one, though I have a snowball's chance in hell of owning one.

[evenflow]

Very cool, I love this line.

[Darth Broem]

Nice!  A little extra for the money.  Now everyone will want their lightsaber toting figures to have a light up version.  A good reason to reissue Jedi Luke

[Jeff]

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but after a bit more exploration into that saber, it was revealed that the light-up saber there is just a custom piece that was created by one of the regular posters over at chinese-starwars.com.

I think something was apparently lost in translation when Jesse learned about it. 

[JesseVader08]

Oops, sorry to bring inaccurate info guys.  I guess I need to brush up on my Chinese. 

[Darth Broem]

Oh it's no big deal really.  They would just jack the price up another $20 for light up sabers anyway.

[evenflow]

Oh well regardless, i still love this line, best thing to happen to star wars in a long time.

[ruiner]

I thought something was out of place in that image.  If you look closely, you can see the face sculpt has been "tweaked."  (It's pudgier).

Can't say that it's better.

I received an e-mail from SS this morning that they are now processing the orders for the SDCC Vader figure  .

I received an e-mail from SS this morning that they are now processing the orders for the SDCC Vader figure  .

Actually starting July 3rd they will begin processing the orders.  I got the same email for 12" Vader and the 501st Trooper.

Do you think they will mail out the orders for Vader/Anakin before the convention or wait until afterwards?  I am assuming afterwards but it would be sweet to have it before then.

I've gotta think it would be afterwards.  It would suck for those of us who are going to have people who aren't attending have the satisfaction of owning it first.  Kinda takes some of the luster off of it ya know?

[evenflow]

I didnt get my e-mail yet  I know i when i called they told me i got one of the last ones so I assume I will be one of the last to get the e-mail.
