At 233 cm tall, he does not so much stand in your collection as establish a new regional headquarters for the Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe statue captures Vader's armour, helmet and unmistakable silhouette with movie-inspired accuracy. His expertly tailored costume and sweeping cape add genuine depth and texture, while the illuminated chest plate brings the display to life with the kind of restrained glow that says somebody nearby is about to receive very poor performance feedback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVader stands with his hands resting on his belt and his lightsaber hanging casually at his side. It is a deceptively relaxed pose from a man whose idea of conflict resolution involves telekinesis.
