You're a riot!
And yes, for that room I'd've used something in the blue family for the curtains...

Why Thank you, Anibal. Coming from someone with the humor and creativity to create that Vader/Lecter mash-up, I will take that as high praise
Here is a picture of it (although I'm embarrased to have to show you all this unworthy offering. In FACT, after hearing from all of you, I'm now thinking of trying to turn it into some sort of surf/skateboard, or perhaps a key-chain holder/spare change bowl, or MAYBE a even a mailbox!).
And BEFORE anyone chimes in, let me nip it ALL in the bud and say that "YES, I know that------------",
1) a) Spider-Man does not ACTUALLY need a support pole in his back in order to stand. b) As far as I'm aware, it's not "cannon" that Spider-man ever played pin-ball. c) The original comic version would not have had "internal" web-shooters. d) The Green-Goblin's "ray" in the Alex Ross/ Stan Lee signed lithograph is WAY too "sparkley". In FACT, it probably should be a "pumpkin bomb". e) Spidey's webbing was more of a "graphite grey" with darker sides. f) Spidey's Lens are not the appropriate shade of silver-white. g) The "hexagonal" pattern sublimated onto Spidey's costume should have more muscle shading. h) Ben Reilly was actually NOT the "real" Spider-Man. He was the CLONE(He did make an AWESOME "Scarlet-Spidey" though.)
2) a) The Flash probably would not pose in such a "fruity" way. b) his arm and waist "lightning bolts" are from the older Barry Allen costume while the main body of the suit is from Wally West. c) Flash did NOT have white "eye-shields" (although he probably should have. Can you IMAGINE a june-bug in the eye at 900 mph?) d) He MIGHT need to be slightly blurry around the edges in order to really be true to cannon.
3) a) Darth Vader did not really stand that way. b) Those three characters would not have ever existed in the same room unless it was some sort of crazy Marvel/D.C./Lucas cross-over. c) Vaders belt didn't pull to the left like that in the "accurate" version. d) The REAL Vader was a size 34 waist, and 38 inseam, not 36 waist, 34 inseam. e) David Prowse was 6' 6.5" in costume and the statue is 7'h with a 6" base which would make it .5" too short. f) Some think that Prowse ALSO played the part of the "Tuscan Raider" but if you analyze the film footage, that actor is no more then 6'2". k) Han shot FIRST!
4) a) The Oscar-Meyer "weiner-mobile" is not actually shaped like that. The real or "accurate" one curves up more in front and is made of fiber-glass (not cloth). b) Romulan "D'deridex class" warships did not really blow up like that. c) Technically in space, an explosion would not look that way due to the vacuum. d) When I say vacuum, I realize that space is considered a PARTIAL vacuum (although it's really a "mostly" vacuum). e) Worf was right handed. f) He preferred a "bat'leth" to a phaser. g) Pinballs do not (as far as I'm aware) fly through space leaving contrails behind them. h) I should have probably gone with a different color for the curtains. i) John Luc is considered by some females to be "much sexier" on the show then how he is portrayed on the back-glass. j) Contrary to popular belief, the visible spectrum of light in the human eye consists of the primary colors red, blue, GREEN! Not red, blue, yellow (It's true. Look it up.)
Wheww, I THINK that covers most of it. If not, I'm SURE that someone will let me know.

I think you misread me or something because I was only responding to the original posts question and comments, not someone elses in the thread.Vadermonkey said:
Thanks though!
Ok, and I was responding to your post from that side of the fence as I think your view is simply not the case. Whats the problem??
SEE!?!?!?!?!? EVIL, I tell's ya! It's making people fight again. I'm going to burn it at the stake! It's the only way to keep us all from killing each other!
Watch out you don't get burned by the crappy rubber suit!
Man, what I said was taken realllllllllly out of context, and turned to be made as an attatck. To some up what I said, and I hate explaining, is that some people are not as fortunate as others and if the entire world was that way, then nice looking things wont get the "Dime a dozen" treatment.
Now if you're talking about the agrument over the thing being listed as screen accurate or not, I never spoke, or will compare things to "screen etc". So I said nothing debatble whatsoever. I was relating to the original thread makers concern, and nothing more.
Now that all the screaming and yelling has died down and no one is throwing anything, I thought I'd give this statue a chance to wreak a little more of it's evil havock by posting a page I found that has video of the statue with the blinking chest and belt lights and a good size comparison by having Vader standing next to Boba Fett and a Storm Trooper. It's pretty cool looking. I think that the video shows it off much better for those that have never seen it before. My statue also makes the "breathing" sound when the lights are activated, but I'm pretty sure that was something that was installed later. I don't think that any of them originally came with sound effects. So, check-check-check it out.

P.S. I called and spoke with George Lucas yesterday, and he told me that all of you are wrong, and that this statue that I have is 100% correct. He said that 1/2 of you need to wear glasses and the other 1/2 were actually fooled by an "incorrect" version that they secretly used in E.S.B. in order to FOOL people into creating non-accurate replicas. He said that MY statue is actually the ONLY corrrect one that exists in the WHOLE WORLD! Futhermore, he went on to say that if ANYONE dares to dispute his word on this matter, that he would be happy to show you the original armour at his house. He said to tell you to come down to SkyWalker Ranch (travel expenses are your OWN responsibility) and just march right up to the ranch and pound on the front door as loudly as you can (sometimes if he's in the basement, he can't hear the door). If no one answers, go around back and there should be a door or window that is unlocked. Go in that way. He said that if ANYONE questions you, tell them that you're there to go through George's collection. If they STILL give you any trouble about coming in, George said that the secret "safety code phrase" that will immediately get you granted "Green Level Clearance", is to whisper into the person's ear "Satan sent me to see George." He said that phrase should get you RIGHT inside. Have fun!!
