ack!
it melts and gets sticky!?! i thought it was only a problem for action figures.
i gotta invest in some protection thingys.


p.s facewise all the bishojou pieces look nothing at all like the artwork & prototype. bodywise they are all fiiiiiineeee.

koto , medicom, sideshow - action figures and VCD.... gotta put bedak bayi to reduce and slow the stickiness....sigh....

Some sneaks and reveals from SS

Kangaxx, it doesn't melt. Melt means it is being 'dilebur'.

What actually happens is that these PVC statues, they have these things called plasticizers inside them. Plasticizers are to enable the PVC to bend and take shape. But plasticizers tend to migrate to the surface of the PVC over time. That is how you get the icky sticky feeling to it.

An expert in chemicals would be able to explain this even further. ^^

Ah...looking at the pic, SideShow artists do use the ever versatile Sharpie for their work, eh? Interesting. ^^ Or do my eyes deceive me. Nyuck nyuck nyuck.

Anybody stressed like me about getting one of these EFX beauties? The $$$$ involved is going to be a killer for sure, incl. shipping










LEGEND EDITION

LIMITED EDITION

too damn expensive for just a helmet IMO...

That is a very accurate looking darth vader, many hardcore perfectionists will be dying to get one.

Much better than Sideshow's lifesize bust.

As for me .... $$$$$

Yes, it does look to be the PERFECT replica of Darth Vader's helmet.

It certainly will be the mother of all centerpieces in your collection, and you will be the envy of many.

"Join me, and together, we can rule the universe!"-----Darth Vader.

Not that i have the spare cash for it, but is that Vader helmet wearable?

"Buy me, and I can destroy your savings!"

That's the price of true replicas collection.

If only sideshow can reproduce such, at least more affordable

Think I will just wait for vader LSB or 2nd edition premium format ... hahahahahaha

well eFx produce the affordable stormtrooper helmet so no reason for an affordable vader's helmet...will wait as cant see myself splurging > RM2K on this helmet..

Ya hopefully got PCR version but think plastic version will not look as real / metallic as these ltd versions.

Custom LSB

Just saw this pic from mamba. For those who have space issue with shelves etc, best is use a table/cupboard top. Despite being exposed and more prone to dust, the display is more complete, spacious and more effective than being couped up inside a small shelf.

Wow. That custom warmachine looks even better than the 1:1 WM bust from SS.

I need a side table that wide and deep.

It works well if you have all the 1/4 and PFs like the guy whose photo you showed.
