That thing looks absolutely incredible. It's like a sacrament to all that is vader, at the peak moment of the entire saga.
any news on when it's supposed to hit stores?

well,....right now, there are a couple of them on eBay.......and one of them is already up to $100.00. I am too very much looking forward to Vader......but not for 100 bucks...............ludicrous

You know, I usually think those items like Unleashed or Epic Force was are pretty lame, but that Unleashed Darth Vader looks pretty cool. I doubt I will buy one, I just don't have the space for it.

oh neither do I, but I'll make space ;)
anyway, I checked one guy's site who's selling them on e-bay. he said hasbro said he'd be recieving them this friday, therefore that's probably when stores will start getting them

I think that Unleashed Vader looks great... overall I am not impressed with the unleashed line, but i do think i'll get unleashed vader, anakin and padme

I too can't wait for the Unleashed Vader. I liked the Jango/Boba so well, I had to break down and get the Maul as well. :p
My wife likes 'em too. They are, so far, the only pieces in my SW collection she allows to be displayed in the living room. :D
Can't wait to have Anakin and Vader on my surround sound speakers and Padme on the mantle.
You think the Unleashed Vader is good, have you seen the Koto Vader? I believe the SSG main page had pictures of it just the other day. Now this Vader is a sweet piece of work. Even if it's a model kit.

that thing is indeed QUITE cool, though I don't even remotely have the talent to paint it. Still, incredible sculpt!

I believe, the Koto Vader, comes fully painted and is a SNAP fit kit, so no glue needs to be used. Bringing down the chances of destroying the finnish while building it.
It may still come like those old car models, and have the pieces and parts in a parts tree thingy. :D

we will get them all....i might get a padme' unleashed loose to display in the arena for a background figure or just get it for the hell of it.
Darth Detori

for the hell of it works for me ;)
and I'd get the koto vader if he wasn't near $95

Unleashed Vader shows the holy trilogy at its peak...its Zenith. It is a must have, even if you don't care to collect much, if anything, from this line.
Personally, I feet Chewie would work great in this line. Bearing his teeth.
Also, a Luke Bespin on the other end of the gentry to go with Vader would make for a piece we can all display in our living rooms. Free from ridicule! Unleashed!

no matter what it is, if it's Vader, it's always going to be better than Maul. :D

I want this, and I want to see a Chewie and then a Han Unleashed! Also a Boba Unleashed would be sweet as well.

there already is a boba unleashed...........cept he is attached to jango........
Master Goeweins

I actually don't like that part of the Jango Unleashed. It kind of detracts from the overall coolness. I want a grown up Boba, complete with flying wookie braids!

I think a darth vader unleashed would be damn damn damn cool and awesome... As some people say the price on eBay is like $100 I think thats just insane... Anyway the darth one looks alittle "over-done" and "too elaborate"!! Looks like some evil demon coming to eat poor little Padme, Obi-Wann and Qui Gonn... I don't think the Jango and Boba is that nice... But I would be looking forward to the Padme Anakin and Vader ones :p
Cheers :)

I just read, over at Jedichris.net, that someone has found wave 2 of the Unleashed figures. They were found at a Meijers store, doesn't say where, and rang up at $16.99 ea. This hasn't been confirmed with a photo or reciept scan, so I can't say if it's 100% or not.
If it is, I guess I'll be hitting the local wallyworlds on a regular basis until I score mine. :D

I think this person has started a thread on this forum.
I wasn't too sure about the Unleased line at first, but the I really like the Sith's and will probably pick them up eventually.

Looks awesome! This thing makes the Saga Bespin Vader seem like a waste of money!

I found Padme and Anakin at Meijer earlier today, but unfortunately they didn't have Vader (the only one that I really want)...
DahrJin

I looked at three different stores this afternoon, but only found Jango and Maul. :(
Vader....oh Vader, where are you my little pet? :D

I kinda like the Maul one, and maybe without boba would Jango look kickass. Havent picked them up just yet though, very soon.
Cant wait for Vader!!!!! Padme will be cool and I'll probably get anakin last, really dont care for it as much, looking at the back of the first two.
and being the collector I am, I'll probably end up with 2 of each.. 1 for box 1 for open :dead: blah..
Unleashed: Chewie and an adult Boba Fett would be BADASS!

I'll probably pick him up also. But what I'd REALLY like is a Kotobukia Vader statue. That's the sweetest Vader representation Ive ever seen! Unfortunately, I don't have $100 to spend on it.:(
Darth forb1us
07-28-2002, 02:19 PM
hmm.. where can I see a picture of this Kotobukia Vader statue?
I think I've seen it but don't recall the $100 tag next to it :confused:
DahrJin
07-29-2002, 09:45 AM
There's a link to some sweet pics. of the Koto Vader on the main page.
Yes it is a nice Vader, and I will have one. If you keep looking around, you may just find it for less than $100.

oh wow passed that right up hehe.
I must say that is one hell of a statue!!
what I was thinking wasnt nearly that nice, and after typing this, Im adding that to my list of "must gets"!
