Kotobukiya • McQuarrie Proto Vader versus Luke

[darthpsychotic]

starwars.com /collecting/

The two figures can be displayed together, locked in the iconic pose made famous by McQuarrie's classic illustration, or separately. Together, the combined bases measure approximately 16.5 inches long, with Vader standing about 11 inches tall.

It's nice to see Ralph McQuarrie's work being recognized in the way it's going to be this year. Between the Hasbro figures and this incredible statue, his iconic work can now exist in 3D. A great tribute to a man who's contributions to Star Wars can never be overstated.

Did Vader originally have a blue Lightsaber in Ralph's paintings?

A great tribute to a man who's contributions to Star Wars can never be overstated.

And to sci-fi in general. I'm hopeful somebody will make a decent Buck Rogers Starfighter, originally designed by McQuarrie as the BSG Colonial Viper ("hello, Titanium-Series people, wtf?").

This looks great, I wonder what it'll cost and when it will come out. I didn't see that info on either the SW or Kotobukiya sites. Stay tuned, I guess.

Koto's Yoda & Mace Windu Set ran for $99.95 so I'm thinking $120 for this.

GalacticHunter.com is reporting that 4 inch versions are in the works as well:

a peek at a prototype for the upcoming Ralph McQuarrie Darth Vader action figure. In lieu of pictures (which are a big no-no right now with our friends at Hasbro)

This Vader is decked out with a very cool flowing cape unlike any we’ve ever seen before. The cape is a separate piece that actually attaches to the figure below the neck

... the head is balljointed to allow for maximum posing.

... The helmet is a work of art - very Samurai, with cool accents to make his cheek area look more menacing. The mask really does have a lot of great detail work.

... Consistent with Ralph McQuarrie’s work, this Vader features a holster attached to his right leg

... The swivel elbows will allow for a more natural stance when fighting the (sure to be cool) Ralph McQuarrie Luke Skywalker (with extra-spiffy breathing mask).

This thing's going for $199.99 at the Star Wars Shop. No thanks.

[Topeka]

I just placed an order for this at Entertainment Earth for $99.97 with free shipping. That's cheaper than what I've been seeing on eBay. Also for those obsessed with McQuarrie concepts, The Star Wars Art of Ralph McQuarrie is $50 with free shipping starting Black Friday.

Nothing says Christmas more than buying Star Wars collectibles for yourself.

That's a damn fine price if I do say so my damn self
