I just saw the Darth Maul at a comic shop yesterday and it looked fantastic. The human faces I'm less impressed by. Still, the price of less than $80 is attractive considering the scale is the same as the Sideshow $250-$300 pieces. Pictures of the Luk Jedi have just been released. It looks like Luke all right, just not like Mark Hamill.

With Sideshow's to compare them to, they just don't hold up in my opinion. I think the face on Darth Maul looks great, but everything else I've seen has been mediocre at best.

They don't come with a lot of accessories or a base, but they do represent the characters in a larger than normal scale. I actually wish they would drop the voice box and price them $10-$15 less. My biggest issue besides the human faces is that they all seem a bit tall and skinny.

It looks more like something you would use for a Barbie doll, but it still looks nice. Chris you will have to forgive me and Campbell for not pooping money, like you do for the more expensive SW pieces :P Sorry couldn't help it

Heck I'm doing that right now as I type this - which is a pian becsue o all the typeos :P

For one thing, in the package there's little hint that he can be posed in the striking action stance we usually see. Also, the outfit felt a little flimsy. And I may have been swayed just by being offput by Darth Maul in Clone Wars packaging. Don't know, but something about it just didn't look right. The Florida Mall store keeps two out at a time and the ones listened to only say one phrase, though I think many more can be accessed.

He is mad tall but the face isn't bad and the outfit is very good for the price. 1/4-scale DS figures are $20 through the 4th of April at Bad Apple Comics making this figure $59.99. I'm really not in a position to buy that, but it was very tempting.

This is a big step up from Sideshow statues' likenesses of Luke so it just might be the second figure I buy from them (got the Maul for $30 delivered not too long ago). A lot depends on how the clothing fits as some figures, like the Han Hoth, just don't look like a real person's proportions under those garments. -Campbell on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback

Posts: 1758 Tue, 23 Mar, 2010 1:52 AM Administrator Orlando System President Orlando	Entertainment Earth's got the upcoming 1/4-scale Darth Vader up for pre-order. Looks pretty good- I want to see this one in person. I also got to look at the Mace Windu and Emperor versions at MegaCon and was impressed, especially with the latter. Jedi Luke, however, looks like they accidentally sculpted Kurt Russell instead of Mark Hamill. Check out the prototype of Vader with a very unusual red lightsaber... -Campbell on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback

Yeah, there's a reason that these cost a fourth of what Sideshow's Premium Format's cost.
