Video Review of the Sideshow Collectibles: Darth Vader 

"Guys, let's actually try to hit our targets" said no stormtrooper ever.

Damn, if only the 6" black series Vader/Anakin head had that paint job! Were I good enough at painting I'd so try it lol. This Vader looks brilliant!

Can't wait to get mine, wish the saber would light up though like the recent SS obi one figure did. Cool review

Very cool video, Optibotimus. This Vader is my favorite figure out of all of them. So far, it's the best Darth Vader collectible ever made. Epic. Thumbs up, man.

This is really amazing, but if they could have added a young Anakin head similar to the old Anakin, that would be an added specialness.

Great review Mr.Botimus, I really like how natural the cape looks. It's like a small version of the actual suit! Though I would have really liked to see the whole set with all the lights on, in the dark.

the little silver bit is really cool in the movie they used it like a green screen for the saber(they stuck a rod inside it made out of reflective material)

I really think when you show light-up accessories, you need to show them in a unlit room, do some editing and jump cut them into the review, it would really add a lot to your already great reviews, imo.

Darth Vader is my favorite Star Wars character of all time.

That's sick cape flow, thanks for showing that.

Shouldn't it be 1 "sith" scale

hi! is there a way or mod to put the mask on the sebastian shaw head sculpt? (or is if it's even possible) thank you!

I glad you commented on the two issues I really noticed on here as well... The exterior look is quite amazing but I think the under skeleton is a bit too thin in both the arms and legs, and the "bunching" is a bit of an issue as well.... Another great review Opt, thanks.

4:22 Bruh i’m dead....😂😂😂

so glad you are moving onto reviewing 1/6 and other high end stuff rather than transformers!!

I have question. The leather/vinyl on Some Darth Vader action figures have been known to flake and crack(Medicom Vader for example) Does this figure have that problem?

got mine yesterday at the advice that they are sold out everywhere. all I can say is wow - for a sideshow figure everything about this figure is quality even the box - if it had hot toys on the logo you would almost think it could pass for hot toys

I always thought it must have been awesome for David Prouse to play Vader in the movie, but for some reason your review made me realize it must have been hell having to work under all that equipment. I agree about the arms though, they are way too thin. Vader needs to hit the gym more often.

13:50 when darth vader is raising his fist up only thing missing is HAIL HYDRA!!!!! Lol

Cool review Can't wait to get mine

Bob likes your review . Bob wants to get this figure . Bob is a big fan of Optibotimus and Star Wars

when I got this figure the helmet from the mask came loose and I can't attach it back easily as it keeps coming off...maybe a superglue would do

I really like all the accessories, the extra head with Anakin, the light up effect, all except for the body and the folds on the lether suit. I think that the old one looks nicer in that department. I would like to just add the extras to mine specially the base. I love that base. Thank you for the video as I was close to selling mine to get this one, and I'm glad I didn't.

Should i get this? Of the hyper real one?

Many people would like the smaller stand for the helmet, I'm sure even more people would like the same thing in full scale.

How did you get it so fast? I've got it on pre-order, but I've been told not to expect it until Jan 2014.

Great.... another night spent watching Optibotimus videos and my alarm just went off telling me to wake up. Guess I'm going to work today on 0hrs of sleep

Great early review! Can't wait to get mine!! :)

vader is a cool figure to own and I love it . Except a few days ago one of the belt lights no longer works on one side. Does anyone have the same issue ? could the battery be flat causing only one side to work instead of two ? I have only owned since Saturday and its already broken I cant believe it

I love how you put the clip of Vader accusing Leia.

Take a black string, tie it to the bottom of the ankle b4 you put the shin and foot back on. When u put the shin on, pull the string through and cut the excess. Then put the shoe on. Bunched crotch area fixed and black string does not show. Worked for me.

I really hope hot toys makes a return of the jedi vader because they would probly make this bulkier

Such a great figure :) love Darth Vader.

5:11-5:13 ahhhhhhhlaulalala!! (optibotimus youre a really nice guy lol XD)

AWESOME!!! My favorite thing I'd like to have/get. It is my favorite character out of all characters in the whole Star Wars universe. It is as great as it looks if not better. Looks amazing, is amazing, but it costs WAY too much money to buy it. Maybe you could tell me where it's the cheapest at?

paul try getting some silicon spray and coat the inside of the shin guards with the silicon spray this will help a lot with it sticking to the pants and will slide on much easier. the silicon is clear and u will not see it. i use silicon spray all the time in the winter as i work for the railroad and wear rubber boots in the snow.same prob the rubber on the bottom of my work boots sticks to the rubber boots and makes it very hard to squeeze the rubber boots on over them. i use silicon spray on the inside of the black rubber boots and they slide on with ease. i wouldn't spray the pants but def spray the inside of the shin guards or maybe spray a tiny paint brush and then apply it to the shin guards I'm sure this will work just let it dry first which should only take a min. hope that helps.

Where did you get that?

Great looking figure

What i think should be in my opinion is that to have 1 less acessorie is that the helmet can come off to reveal the actual anakin head

Great review. Keep it up.

the emperor's central enforcer and most notorious apprentice has truly arrived at long last.

Got this for my kid. Called me the best parent ever. I'm the best parent ever bitches.

If you have a cc-5052 I would love to buy it

lol i loved the clip you put in there

The silver tip is really in Vader's Hilt

19:06 anyone see that next to his right rist

Good review thanks for showing everything and explaining it don’t listen to the haters

If you did get the AC adapter with every display stand, that would be a hell a lot of plugs, yeah you could use a power strip, but I'd be worried about having so many things plugged in at once.

Awesome, except for the Vader unmasked optional head accessory. The bottom part of the mask extends too far forward, it doesn't look appropriate in scale.

very good

Nice

That pointing finger makes me want to pose Vader picking his nose.

My darth vader just arrived today from Fed ex. His main helmeted head was damaged with plenty of scratches and smudges. I hope Sideshow replaces it as I have spent a bomb on this thing.

d vader unmasked gives me chills

U should review the aniken Skywalker when he join forces with the emperor from Star Wars :the siths revenge

Hey Paul, you thinking of picking up the spider-man and avenger figmas?

Great review....just wish you would keep your hands out of the frame until you need to touch tne product

Best part ooo I'm using the force lol

that is awesome darth vader id one of my favorite starwars sith after darth malgus but agin awesome vidieo

I got mine today and this is the most awesome darth vader out there. Expensive? Oh. Yes brother, but you get extra value. Take the medicom rah vader. A lightup sabre but nothing more for more money!

Darth Vader is................... AWESOME!!!!!!!!

and here's us poor dudes chillin with our black series vader

Hey man! GREAT REVIEW! I am in 100% agreement with you...the arms are TOO thin...you would think as long as sideshow has worked on this guy they would have noticed the arms were too skinny and beefed them up some...I have to say that really detracts from the look...oh well...otherwise he really does look fantastic...

Great review man. I'm officially sold on it. Going to put in the order tonight. :D

which one is better? the deluxe version or the non deluxe version?

By that they his face was change through out the years with the special editions.

Hey fellow collectors! I'm deciding on if I should get this or general grievous! This would be my first sideshow figure

Cool figure but I fell asleep was hoping for a wow and this figure is more of a Meh. Great review!!!!

You would have thought that white part was a wall and not paper

I love grievous

Maybe i'll get this, I have a 31 inch Darth Vader and its too damn big!! I need a regular sized one to go with my hot toys luke

Btw can seperated mask & helmet be attached to Anakin head to mimic the undressing scene?

is there a 1/6th scale Darth Maul or Darth Tyranus (Count Dooku)

This is definitely the Episode III Vader!

It does have a numb

Is this figure officialy released already?

Is there a Sideshow Episode 4 Darth Vader? I'm only finding a Hot Toys Episode 4 Vader.

no way :D amazing

is this from the video game

+Zack briggs, in affraid there is no sideshow episode 4 vader, only the hot toys one. :(

I'm glad I saw this video review cause those arms aren't right and no light-up saber. That's a shame that SS makes a half-ass figure. I wish HT would've done this figure cause you're get a better quality product.

thank you bowmanruto

great review. i love vader. only negative of this review - your hands being always in frame.

Looks like Episode III Darth Vader. Watch the movie!!! Doesn't he look like the Episode III. You know when he first (chronologically for the story) appeared? Petter Griffin's laugh 3x.

OW WHAT AN WONDERFUL VİD XD

This is a good figure, but Grevious is my fav.

it`s should be writen like SIxTH SCALE

2:56 *Spoiler Alert* that's not an "exclusive" feature, the light up arm just got broken in transit 🤭🤭🤭

How do you get these figure so quickly from Sideshow, my friend? :)

Aww, no epic arm & lightsaber poses :( But still a cool review and an awesome figure

hi optibotimus! i am a fan of star wars saga,i think this is the better figure of darth fener ever done!what do you think?

My my this here anikin guy maybe vader someday later

in his meditation chamber

You put his light saber on the belt wrong, it goes on saber side pointing up.

It would of been funny if the box said Sith Scale instead of Sixth Scale!

It's a darth Vader but not sideshow. I'm getting medicom 12 revenge of the sith darth vader. optibotimus you should get the medicom version it's amazing.

I think this is amazing hot toys figure i have seen all 7 of the star wars movies you guys have got to watch them i know who is the new darkside but i will not tell you watch it to find out who is the new darkside.Best movie than star wars 1 to 6. When i get a figure i will review it and i will show you's i have got the batman armory but i can't review it because my brother like's to hide things on me so annoying. if you agree just say yes or no.

No Darth Vader's Heavy Breathing in the video?

is this the only star wars sideshow figure or not?i don't know it!:)
