I recently received my regular edition 12" Darth Vader from Sideshow Collectibles. The exclusive was an extra "Force choke hand." It sold out in about 3 hours. So, I was able to order 2 regular versions, one for my brother, the other for myself.

Here are pics:

with Sideshow's Princess Leia Organa





I'm planning on making my Vader into an Empire Strikes Back version. It will take a while, though.

Nice looking Vader. I remember my 12 inch Vader back in 78!

[Mr. Fusion]

Thanks, Detective Jones! I have seen that figure in person, but never owned one. Still a great toy!

Now, with a lot of help from Les Walker (aka FiguremasterLes) I was able to alter my Darth Vader from Star Wars into an Empire Strikes Back version. He still isn't finished, but I think you can get an idea.

That's good. You've taken your first step into a larger world.


Nice Vader!

Ben and I have finished Darth Vader's gloves... for the most part. Les Walker gave me an extra Hasbro Darth Vader suit. We cut off the top of the gloves (gauntlet part) of both grip hands. Ben sewed smooth pieces of vinyl to pieces of the Hasbro suit, then glued them on and painted them. They don't look as accurate as I was hoping, but I think they look really good, nonetheless.

Here are the gloves on the figure:







Ben also repainted a Kenner Talking Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker head. Here it is with the Kenner neck brace:
