The larger ES on this and Vader coupled with the fact there are other statues of these characters to choose from out there are keeping them from selling out IMO. I think Fett will eventually dry up. Not so sure about Vader though.

Obi-Wan and the Gamorrean sold out because of their low ES and the fact that they're totally unique in that those characters have yet to be produced. Aftermarket demand seems high too.

what other statues of Vader and Fett are out there that even come close or even compare to those two?
plus Fett only had 500 more made than Obi_wan.

i agree about Vader and his edition size. but i think its more due to the fact of what you said about the characters being totally unique and that those characters have yet to be produced. done before.

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

Fett has a great SS PF based on the same ROTJ suit. I almost didn't buy the Mythos piece because I was an owner of that piece. I eventually decided to sell it and pick the Mythos piece up.

There are a number of great Vaders. The two pieces Attakus produced being the best out there, and they're in the same 1:5 scale. I own both myself and that's why I passed on the Mythos piece.

oh, i thought you meant something more recent. yeah the PF Fett is nice. i want to get that one. but im guessing SS might make the ESB version. which im more of a fan of that one.
true the Attakus Vaders are nice and have been the definitive Vaders for a long time. but both are ESB versions i believe. but the Mythos version is a representation of ANH Vader. in which there hasn't been an ANH Vader that even comes close to the Mythos version in accuracy. the PF wasn't even close.

The Attakus Vader I is meant to be ESB and Vader II ROTJ. I guess if you're interested in having a Vader from each episode of the OT the Mythos piece would fit the bill. I don't need more than 2 Vaders in my collection though.

I'd like the mythos line if each one didn't have weird (and with the shiny heads easily avoided) problems.

then i guess its fair to say that all three are the definitive Vader for their versions.
