Wow, I just can't get over how much the Sideshow Vader dwarfs the Medicom one, and those pics make it very clear.  Great stuff!

And I shall call him... Mini-Me. :D

I still need to come see the new place (and Vader) in person one of these days.

You're always welcome Ryan.

Jesse, Glad you like the pics.  Don't youhave both figures?
This is the way.


I have spoken.

 :-[  Not yet.  I've got the Medicom ROTS version, but still haven't grabbed the Sideshow one.  The shipping is outrageous to Canuckia, so I'm being patient and waiting for a reasonable price from a secondary seller (one that uses USPS, not UPS or FedEx - their additional charges to cross the border are another kick in the gut).

Sideshow's doing their 2nd chance thingy - I'm hoping that I can score this bad dude before the deal goes. Man, Vader could never be more beautiful!

I can finally say that I've added the Sideshow Vader to my collection.  And what a fantastic figure it is!

I remember reading about people being unhappy with the helmet (I think it didn't flare out "properly"?), but I have to say it looks pretty damn good to me.  8)

I think I'm going to take my 2 Medicom Stormtroopers and display them flanking this Vader.

Seems like medicom achieves more detail depicting faces like Jedi Luke or ROTJ Vader, what happens with sideshow is the depiction of a large scale texture on the suit and gloves.
