to find out how large it would be, all you would have to do is scale it up 100%. cause your going from 3" to 6". Im bored, so im gonna try to work this out.
edit: the legacy collection version is approximate LWH is 32"x28"x8". so....scaling it up to 6" inch figs, it would mean that this beast of a toy would be 64"x56"x16". But even then, the Millinium Falcon isn't truly in scale with SW figures. Which a fully in scale MF for the six inchers is what I was playfully courting.

I'm quite pleased that this line was announced, I really look forward to collecting the figures based on the original trilogy.
My only wish is that, when they decide to release the Vader figure, he be styled more in line with the original trilogy look (ESB chest box, asymmetrical helmet etc.), rather than the newer episode III style. Also, a Boba Fett is pretty much necessary. |

What he's referring to (and I know this because I am way too big of a geek for my own good) when they made ROTS, they looked back at Vader for the Original Trilogy and saw every movie in the past his helmet was slightly off and the angles were different. So the Sith version is actually isometrically angled and engineered perfect from a computer, or something along those lines.

Yes, you're absolutely right. If you look closely, the original trilogy's helmet design is actually not a perfectly symmetrical sculpt. Personally I enjoy this look a lot more, I think it adds character to the look of Vader. |

Does this image depict the asymmetry you guys are talking about?
If so, I would never pay for it. But since I'm not a roboVader fan anyway, it makes no difference. I mean, I like the character, but his design has never been cool enough for me to want a toy of it. |

Vader Helmet Comparison Way deeper than I ever thought this conversation would go LOL. But it's cool to share this level of geek with others. I am a CAD Artist/Technical Illustrator for a living so these kind of things jump out at me, and fascinate me at the same time. Vader comprises five of the eight SW figures I still own, so he is a must have when one is done well for me. Being a kid when the originals came out, he was THE bad guy for decades. |

True, but it didn't show what was so different from the Original Trilogy (which I do like better) to the ROTS version. Side by side the differences are pretty dramatic, which is why I shared it.
