So a year ago, I "hinted" to my wife that the Vader would be a good Christmas present. Then the delivery date shifted to the second quarter and I reminded her that the Vader would make a great Father's day/ aniversery present. Then those days pass and UPS pulls up TODAY. I think she is going to hold onto it until Christmas.
She is mean!

V to the A to the DER is here (has been for a few weeks). Yeah now that I am back from San Diego (it means Whale's Vagina) I decided to post a quick pick of my Vader while I ironed his rode(s). He truly is awesome.

Bonus pic, my SSC Cobra Commander. Helmet>Hood, but I'll wait.

Both badass pics of badass bad asses! I don't dare start, but that Cobra Commander looks awesome. He's really grown on me. I didn't know he came with a cape (which you have excellently posed). Or did you add that?

Bob...save up for him man. Ask Santa and shit. He is (to me) the be all end all Vader collectible. You will not be disappointed. Get on the WaitList for Vader man or if he is ever in stock let me know and I can hook you up with a SSC giftcard (like 20 bucks off).

Actually, if I had the choice, I would probably pick up a boxed, complete Death Star Space station from 1977.

That would be a hard choice, my brother. Of course, I spent more time with the Death Star than you did.

I posted this on the SideShow Freaks board and thought I would post it here too since a few guys here dig Indy. A tutorial is also included on how to make Toht's sleeves look a bit cooler. I picked up some magnets (available at your local Michael's or craft store) and thought I would share. I placed the magnets inside the inner sleeve and inside of the coat so that they gave the coat a more natural appearance. Other than that all I did was use a little "Myatt" water-treatment and picked up a new pair of glasses for him. I think these Pro-Tips actually make Toht a pretty cool figure, check out the pics below.

I concur that the cobra commander is bad ass. I would like to see it with the helmet on as well.

Thanks for the feedback duders, I need to contribute more around here. Anyone go to SDCC this year?

Not SW but I figured some of you guys might dig this stuff. I finally got around to putting my Snake Eyes together (with a sweater from another figure) and I got a custom cape for my Cobra Commander. Pretty cool, I am enjoying the Joe line right now more than SSC's SW line (Vader not included).

Anyway, I was older and MUCH cooler than you at the time. Now I am older.
