I get that there's technically a lot of these made, but people are going to really want that extra head sculpt with the damaged helmet, it's just too good to pass up. Plus you get the unique flaming lightsaber, which I think is pretty cool. So yeah there's a lot made, but not nearly as many made with the exclusive options, and I think the exclusive is going to sell out faster than people think. This statue has been extremely well received and is going to be very popular.

I thought the same thing about Ventress and Maul at the time. To me the new Mythos Maul is one of the coolest Darth Maul’s out there and it was on sale. This may be the first one I’m wrong about but so far I’m 6 for 6 on the pieces that ended up on sale this past season. It’s definitely one to watch.

You guys gotta see that this is a special statue and better looking than most if not all sideshow statues as of late. Its a complete banger and I can guarantee the exclusive edition wont be going on any deep sale and thats because its been getting much praise outside of the star wars guru circle. People who dont buy statues are buying him based on it being a raw and mystical interpretation of Vader. Something that hasn't been done much for Vader which makes it special in my opinion

Great review. Kucharek Bros have been around a long time, I still own a few of their Bowen pieces which are still amazing representations of the character. Love this piece and totally agree waiting for price drops Sideshow has been making way too many high ES statues, this one has showed up on Seconds twice while it is still on PO. Once it’s on stock, i will probably get one when it regularly shows on seconds or one of their daily deals.

That’s how I’ve felt about every mythos I have bought recently. Sucks when you pay full pop only for them to drop the price like that. What irks me most is you know they are still making money even at the sale price. So it goes to show you how they value their pieces and their customers. The ES on the EX is the same as all of the other Mythos statues. So they just made an extra 6500 of them in the regular. I’m curious to see what happens

I like it, but personally, the original Vader Mythos statue is still my favorite. There are multiple design choice on this piece that I don't like; the flaming light sabre, the fire on the base and the over-exaggerated cape. Artistically, it's an amazing piece, but for me, not really representative of the cinematic Vader that I love.

What's your guess on the leaning issue it might have due to the cape? If 1 means it will lean and 10 means it will not. Could'nt tell exactly.
@HyperdriveStarWars

My fear is the weight of the cape over time will cause an issue. It may never happen. For example I had a Batman statue with a heavy cape and to took over a year before I noticed anything. Other people with the same statue didn’t have an issue. So it’s 50/50 that it could happen

Yes it should. Let me say it like this, there is no wrong way to collect. If you want to buy everything without a care of what it is, that is fine. I like to collect rare art. And this is not rare, nor is it inexpensive. Collectors of fine art or cars don’t collect art from hobby lobby or buy Honda Civics. At the current price points rarity and edition size is most definitely a factor for me.

@@BreeZieDoesiT the number of your edition doesn’t determine how many are left. You are likely to get number 4500 as much as you can get number 1. It is a great statue but I don’t think anyone needs to rush to buy it. There was a ton of hype around Ventress and Maul. Both were created by the same sculptors and both are still available today and went on sale this past holiday season. And both of those released close to 2 years ago.
