This is another line I've desperately tried to stay away from, and they make it harder and harder every time! This looks AMAZING!
-
Yep, that looks killer! How much do these life sized busts go for?
-
I hope this won't go for too much... :P
-
I'm betting this Vader bust will be in the $500 range at least. They usually run $300-$400.

I received both boxes containing Sideshow Darth Vader 1:1 bust (in different days), but finally Vader is assembled. It is a really cool looking bust, quite impressive. :) And the bust looks quite cool next to the new installed vertical blinds. I'll get a custom cabinet ordered for this and my future collectibles soon, so this is just a temporary display.
I don't really like the Shaw head, mine has a slight lazy eye, but even without the defect, I wouldn't display Vader with no helmet. IMO Darth Vader is that tall angry guy in black armor and heavily breathing under his mask, and not the 3 minutes ROTJ Sebastian Shaw. It is cool to get an extra option, but for people who want the helmet on, what to do with the Shaw head? After I'll try getting a replacement for the Shaw head, I might sell it - there is already a guy on RPF looking for Shaw head. I also sent a message to Sideshow to ask about procedures to replace the Shaw head since I bought it from Toy Palace.
Anyway for this price this bust should have been perfect. It is close, but not perfect. And still it didn't get over my MR AT-AT. ;)

Compared with the Master Replicas CE Stormtrooper helmet:

And this is how I'm going to display the bust - with helmet on:

awesome!! that thing looks very sexy!! i was tempted to get one but room is a major issue.... plus i love my MR Vader helmet so i dont really "need it" but i wanted it
-
Very impressive, Serg. Sorry to hear that the Shaw face is messed up on yours. Let me know if you get anywhere or not with Sideshow. If you don't, I'll email my contact and see if there is something that can be done.
-
I got a refund from Sideshow, that helped a bit. And almost all the Shaw heads had "lazy" eyes, very lazy from Sideshow to do it like this. As for MR Vader helmet I passed on it numerous times, but I'll be holding for the new ANH Vader from eFX

Wooow man thats awesome!!!
