This statue is absolutely beautiful! The fabric they used is great and it looks awesome lit up, definitely buy it if you can. I have it displayed on a pedestal and it stands out!
The extra light up features are really cool! It was only advertised as have a light up saber that never seemed to be lit on their displays. I figured it was going to be lackluster because of this. It looks good! Glad I ordered this. Nice to be surprised by getting more than you expect! 👍
@@mattchedzey no because this was announced a year ago; i think this design was inspired from the clone wars animated show. disney got the inspiration from that show.
Just ordered this. Bought a Batman sideshow premium statue a couple of years ago and instantly fell in love. With the recent Obi-Wan Kenobi series I had to buy this! Can’t wait
Awesome statue and special shoutout to whoever did the lighting and backgrounds! Vader AND Darth Paul look fantastic ! (Or like they're both about to fall into lava, either way)
It always hits different when you have the lightsaber light up. Well done on this Darth Vader PF Sideshow Team. I really hope you make Premium Formats of the Darth Maul and Ahsoka CW7 fight scene with Lightsaber light up. I would pre-order in a heartbeat.
Just received mine today and the light sabre won’t light up 😢 also the chain for his cape looked glued up and broke almost instantly. As my first statue ever I’m a little disappointed. Other than that it looks absolutely stunning
Not a fan of the over the shoulders inner cape. Would have been nice if switching that look to the under the shoulders cape was an option. Either way, another beautiful PF.
***Follow up to my post a year ago*** I've had this for almost a year now and only turn it on occasionally and the Lightsaber just started flashing on and off and does not stay on constantly any longer. For nearly $800 I expected it to work longer than it did. The warranty is only good for 30 days so now I have a non functional statue.
I’m curious to know if the portrait is actually made of resin encased in plastic or just a hollowed-out plastic sculpture? If anyone knows….I’d appreciate the answer. Sideshow made a PF of the ROTJ Darth Vader a few years ago with a head sculpt that was 100% plastic …..making it feel really cheap and ruining the sculpture for me personally. I hope it’s not the same case for amazing piece they just put out.
I would like to have it but 25 inch that is too big,I recently had the STAR WARS Force Awaken EPISODE VII ARTFX STATUE 1/7 KYLO REN from Kotobukiya's it was about 12 inch but unfortunately it is broken and no longer for sale and this one is just too big for me
Hey John - Should be arriving soon! Check your online account for your specific delivery window. The product page usually gets updated for folks who are just placing an order today. Thanks!
Awesome piece and I love it, BUT, who designs a switch on the belt like this ? Every damned time I need to remove it. This is a bad joke for this price.
Buyer beware. As awesome as this thing is it has a VERY serious design flaw. The entire weight of this statue is placed on its left heel and it is very easy to break. Mine cracked just sliding it into the base. For this much money the quality should be much better.

Nice! We'd love to see your pedestal setup - head to side.show/howtoshare if you want the chance to be featured!
Sideshow is always killing it with their statues! 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you, we're glad to hear you love it!!

Sideshow did so well on this piece considering getting it,would love to see 1/4 obi wan series darth vader the hot toys 1/6 are amazing!
Insane so real !!!..
I was thinking about this piece all the time and now I ordered instantly. If you are a Star Wars fan you need this Vader!!!
He looks phenomenal.
It's amazing, simple design yet imposing, Love it!
Ooohh after watching the obi wan finale I truly can’t wait for the mythos darth Vader with his half damaged helmet. Freaking epic.
So does that mean that Sideshow and the K Bro's had intel that his helmet would be damaged in such a way in a near future canon production?
@@mattchedzey no because this was announced a year ago; i think this design was inspired from the clone wars animated show. disney got the inspiration from that show.
Can't wait to get mine delivered!
I can't wait to add this one to my collection! THE FORCE IS STRONG WITH THIS ONE!!!
Absolutely stunning piece!

You don’t know the power of the dark side(show)!
Looks amazing, can’t wait to have mine! Thanks, Sideshow!
Haha nice one! We can't wait for him to join your collection, thank you for watching!
This looks really great.
Thank you!!
Perfection...
Impressive.
Nice, thank you.
Thanks for watching :)

LORD VADER 🔥🔥🔥🔥, definitely coppin this
Awesome statue and great video! 👍🏻👍🏻
We're glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!!
Very nice 👌
Pretty amazed to see a statue of the Rogue One / Episode IV version of Darth; most out there are Episode V or VI.
This is the best that humanity could create
batteries AND an AC-adapter? couldn't you find some option to use just the AC-adapter, and have that power linked to the belt and chestpiece?
That was awesome
WOW
“Perhaps you feel you are being treated unfairly?”
Someday a statue like this will be released in which it will be possible to turn on all its lights from a single switch...
anyway it's IMPRESSIVE!
Don’t choke on your admiration
😂😂
Great piece of art, but one of my favorites action figure is the Darth Vader ultimate villain 2005 from Hasbro.
Perfection! Well done Sideshow!
Any new info about the Grievous PF?
Thanks Mark! We're getting close on Grievous!
Should've had the option to have his lightsaber in his right hand like the movies as he wasn't a lefty.
Just received mine today. He’s glorious. Standing right next to his Premium Format grandson, Kylo Ren 😁
Anyone know who did the music for the video ? Pretty Epic. Has the AudioMachine or Two Steps from Hell style orchestration
Anyone know the music they used for the video ? Pretty Epic. Has that AudioMachine and Two Steps from Hell type orchestration
Impressive. Very impressive.

I like this Darth Vader statue but I notice is the lightsaber doesn't light up all the way to the tip.
"All too easy."

Awesome
Thanks for watching!
If you do not handle the chain on the cape with the UTMOST care, you will be a very sad panda. And I mean a very sad one.
Ok just to reconfirm. So they not using soft goods for the leather suit correct? That's brilliant! As faux leather might flake over time
😱😱😱😱

Only downside is how the belt doesn’t power up with the plug like the saber but rather batteries
Is the Cape cloth material or faux leather?
I don’t fear the dark side !
Fantastic!!! 2 payments already made. Is this shipping soon? I see now it has been moved to September.
Hey John - Should be arriving soon! Check your online account for your specific delivery window. The product page usually gets updated for folks who are just placing an order today. Thanks!
Is it just me or does the head/helmet looks a little bit to small compared to the body? Otherwise great statue.
Awesome piece and I love it, BUT, who designs a switch on the belt like this ? Every damned time I need to remove it. This is a bad joke for this price.
"Impressive, most impressive"
Hard on alert
Is that alternative/ex version of this statue not come with the bent arm and the straight arm is the one that comes with the standard?
Hey Scottimus - There are no special/standard editions of this item. The piece comes with both arms. Hope that helps!
Buyer beware. As awesome as this thing is it has a VERY serious design flaw. The entire weight of this statue is placed on its left heel and it is very easy to break. Mine cracked just sliding it into the base. For this much money the quality should be much better.
@Piet Yes, Sideshow has aggreged to replace it.
Received the replacement today and set it up. It’s truly stunning.
WHICH MOVIE IS THIS DARTH VADER FROM?
what are the dimensions of the base?
When does it release???
July
WHAT SCALE IS THIS DARTH VADER?
1/4 scale
thank you so much
🙌🖤🖤🙌
I'm not your failure Obi Wan
I mean, is Darth a Lefty?
I am what you made me
The helmet and mask appear to be off scale. The helmet looks to big relative to Vaders mask. IMO….it doesn’t look right.
