LOL... just wrote this to GG, regarding their up-coming ESB Vader Statue...
I imagine they'll think I'm a gimp... but it'll be cool if they replied!
Hello Gentle Giant Ltd,
I have been checking the picture of your up-coming Darth Vader ESB Statue -
https://www.gentlegiantltd.com/catalog/ ... detail/214 - and was just wondering why you settled on that odd pose that more resembles how he kneeled in front of the Emperor in Return of the Jedi, rather than how he looked in Empire Strikes Back. He almost looks sad in this current pose. I know it may be a moot point, but thought I'd ask anyway. Why not use this pose instead -

Also just wanted to say that the current statues body proportions are off - his right leg, his thigh, is most definitely too short in proportion with the rest of his body.
I know you may not wanna change the pose too much on the figure, from promo to final figure, but I just had to try! .) Hope the body proportions gets fixed though. Looking forward to better pictures of the helmet, which on previous versions except for the RotS bust has pretty much always been a let-down to me, accuracy-wise.
Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to new releases.
Sincerely,
Carsten Hedegaard
