Darth Vader

[SeattleEd]

The bodies are like the Ohtsuka Kikaku dolls. No hands or feet articulated body. You add the clothes and the accessories which in this case they are metal.
Ohtsuka dolls are really great and are 8". They give Medicom a run for their money.

Great stuff, but a bit too expensive.
I'm sure we'll get an affordable 8-9 inch Vader somewhere along the line.

I doubt I could make a cool custom of vader for much less than that. I mean by the time you scrounge up, or mold all the detailed parts, and add in the head, body, and materials, you'd have spent about as much.

I do have an urge to pillage both Fett and Vader for customs parts. I suppose someone could "boost" the accessories and then mold them, make a Megocustom kit and make up their money.

Very cool and not too expensive as far as figs go.
Average custom fig is about $135ish these are $99 so not to bad.
A little too much for me though...LOL
I keep it to around $20.

But a custom is a unique creation that took time and effort from the customizer, Vader is a factory produced product, not exactly the same

yeah that's what I was thinking

The Prices for these musta went up... I only paid 99 for each of mine.
Like in the World of customs..., you get what you basically pay for.., you buy a 20 dollar custom,.. well that's what you bought.

To Me..., these little guys rival what Hot Toys can make, but they are 8inch scale. neat stuff.

They did go and were just $99 early this year. They were in stock, even Fett now have sold out.

I agree you get what you pay for and these two are really amazing and detail oriented. Plus they are metal bodies, that alone is worth the cost. It's like detailed live size but shrunk down to Mego size.
I've been waiting on ebay for a price drop last year but no luck. They only go up in cost and maybe value.

I got Lord Vader for Christmas! (btw... thanks, Doc, for putting in the good word with St. Nick )

I need to post pics for you guys... but he is exactly Mego scale. I have been having fun playing out the Star Wars / Star Trek crossover than I *so* wanted as a little kid.

Also, since someone asked about it... If you wanted to do so, it would be very easy to cannibalize him to build a figure on a more Mego-ish body... but honestly, the metal body is way cool, and while it maybe errs more on the side of "display" rather than "play", it displays beautifully.

Anyhow, just wanted to share my excitement! And thanks again for all the info from everybody about this figure... without your input, it probably never would have made my Christmas list in the first place.
