This is a good thing for collectors. We now have more variety and fans of the line who only collect 1/4 scale can now jump in. You seem a little salty because I think you believe this will devalue your collection, however there's so many older pieces that wont make it to this scale and there will always be people who want a slightly smaller scale. No one is making you switch to this line, you will be able to continue collecting at 1/5. I think this is a win and Sideshow have listened to what people want.

At the beginning it was a mistake this range has a scale of 1/5 it made no sense and yes many collectors want 1/4

I think it is great that they are offering a quarter scale. I’m more of a 1/4 scale collectors myself and because of the 1/5 scale I wasn’t into this line. I am excited that they are giving collectors the option. It’s a win-win for everyone.

The Mythos line should have always been 1/4 scale, I never understood their thought process behind making it 1/5. I really wanted the new Obi Wan but it being a different scale than my other ones rules it out, and Im not rebuying the entire line (which I think is their goal here). Also I think this is a way they can justify the huge price hike on statues as of late.

I was over the moon when I heard that Sideshow was releasing the mythos Darth Vader in quarter scale. I always thought it was one of, if not, the best Vader out. Unfortunately, it was 1/5 scale which meant that I wasn’t going to order it. Now, that it’s in 1/4 scale. Day one PO for sure.

@adamdoom89 Ай бұрын

This is good news. 1/5 scale was always awkward to pair with other statues. 1/4 scale is the perfect size and most collectors already collect that size myself included.

I don’t have an issue with this Vader piece being done in 1/4. The original piece is still for sale on SS via waitlist and it’s not really limited at 11,000 ES. If SS were to re-release a different scale of a long sold out, low ES, high aftermarket that would be crappy move, this one is none of those.

I prefer 1/4th and didn't get into Mythos because of that. I may dive in now.

I know this is going to be unpopular but my statue scale is 1/4 and so this has worked out well for me, especially as I sold my Vader Mythos. Very lucky that I did. I would be pissed if I still had it.

@timo4826 2 ай бұрын

Ditto. 1/4th or 1/3rd for me. 1/5th is too small.

I want to start getting a few statues to display with the few character saber hilts I have (mostly collect legends and non cannon). My Obi collection definitely needs one.

It’s not as though these statues are cheap even at 1/4 scale. Unfortunately it feels like they’re doing it for more money rather than exclusivity

Jorge! What's up, brother. It's been a long time! Man, when I learned about this you were actually the first person I thought of. I remember us discussing this kind of thing but the situation was different. I supported certain characters being re-released if the design/look was different. You were more on the side of just moving forward and make new characters, which I totally understand. But this here is nothing more than Sideshow taking a leaf from Tweeterhead's book. A lot of people are going to jump on the opportunity to get some of these pieces in quarter scale. Personally I dig having the Mythos line in 1/5 scale because they are much easier to display. But I also know most collectors out there prefer quarter scale. As for how I think Sideshow will go about selling it... I think the larger scale and light up effects will be a big draw. But I also think Sideshow might make it at a low ES. Maybe? This is Sideshow we are taking about; they are all about the $$$.

@kybernetic8 2 ай бұрын

I know after this I will never buy a statue from Sideshow that isn't 1/4th now. Because they'll eventually make it 1/4th, and if they don't I'm fine missing out. Basically made the 1/5th worth pennies on the dollar.

Although I prefer 1/4 scale; I think if Sideshow would have at least changed up the base so Vader was standing on top of his crashed Tie instead of an X-Wing would at least give collectors a different visual piece rather than just a larger scale from the original 1/5. Kind of lazy on Sideshows part IMHO.

@ndcp2379 2 ай бұрын

I have mostly 1/4 and 1/3 except for the 3 mythos statues. I will not be switching them out because of space and cost. Personally I would prefer they make completely new statues with different characters, like Nihlus, Vitiate, or Marka Ragnos.

@Siile_ 2 ай бұрын

They definitely need to add new stuff to it and not just re-interpretations of the old ones. We also need a much better Sidious Mythos, and no mixed media... If Vader is all polystone, everything needs to be as well, just looks weird otherwise

@joecaramello4310 2 ай бұрын

I agree with everything you have said, but sideshow is not the first to re-release statues at a different scales. We have seen this with Iron Studios re-Releasing 1/4th scale statues as 1/10th. Prime1 is re-releasing 1/3rd as 1/4th and now Sideshow 1/5th as 1/4th. As a collector it feels like a slap in the face when a company does this. Having said that, I don't collect Mythos, I wanted that Vader as a one and done but miss out. My wait list has yet to convert, I feel like this is my second chance and I would prefer 1/4 scale.

@raulgarcia4521 2 ай бұрын

the scale is obviously not the issue. They should have changed at least some elements like they did with Kenobi. I wonder if the Kbros will be properly compensated since SS will get more money out of the exact same design

When it comes down to it , it's all about the Benjamin's 😂😂 they'll eventually run out of ideals and they don't really care about the collectors from the beginning, they just didn't tell anyone 😅😅 I'm a major Funko collector and they've been sticking to us for years 😂😂 anyways I agree with everything you said👍👍 great video 👍 😎

@Siile_ 2 ай бұрын

I completely understand your point, but buying a Vader statue with an edition size of about 10,000 thinking it's going to hold any kind of value is delusional. Maybe in many years, with inflation, etc... But you should never buy a statue thinking it's going to sell for what you paid or more than what you paid. I mean, sure, some of them are a safe bet, but definitely not this kind of statue with this kind of ES. The 1/5 version isn't anywhere near sold out and it would still probably take years

such a shitty move by sideshow, at least tell the people you gonna release a 1/4th down the line i wouldn't have buy the 1/5th if i knew ! these companies getting fuc..ng greedy because people pay whatever they ask, look at prime one ...$2-3k is just norm for them ..wtf prime 1 is also releasing an XL version of the Alien statue, now its fc..ng sideshow doing the same shit. i don't think ill preorder anything from them anymore !

@ryanquinn7045 2 ай бұрын

I agree with you. It is lazy. I think going forward we wont see rerleaes like this as i dont think this will sell well enough. I do think we will see sideshow release 1/4 and 1/5 of upcoming pieces like what they did with fastball special.
