The pose follows one of the most iconic images of Darth Vader: the Lord of the Sith is portrayed with his gaze turned forward and his left hand stretched forward, to underline his might. The base of the torso, which resembles a spaceship fragment, features the Empire logo in bright red. Above, the fantastic bust stands out. Darth Vader’s armor in this bust is faithfully reproduced from that of “Return of the Jedi“, as highlighted by the electronic details on the abdomen and the black chain around the neck.
The attention to detail it’s truly amazing. The possibility of creating a bust of more generous dimensions than the classic figures allowed the artists of ABYstyle Studio to focus more on these aspects. The texture of the cape and cloth are incredibly realistic, as are the shiny details of the shoulder pads and helmet. Even under the latter, Vader’s collar has been reproduced with meticulous attention.
Il painting of the bust is excellent in almost every way. It has only a couple of slight, almost imperceptible imperfections. The pearlescent paint on Darth Vader’s chest is reproduced with great fidelity, as are the colors that recall the armor from the film.
