What details make it ROTJ other than the "reveal" details? It looks like the DN has the mohawk dent and the slight curve to the helmet above the eyes which as far as I know are ESB details.

To be fair, the Anovos Vader was sold quite a while back. The DN Vader is a little more detailed than the Anovos, so it should be a little more expensive even if they were sold at the same time. And we have had inflation and tariffs since then. I would guess the efx Vader reveal will be $1500...

I think that article is misleading. The DN Vader is now available to order on the Denuo Novo site. I'm not sure how that would be an exclusive unless it will only be available for a short period of time, which I doubt.

My guess is this one includes tariff costs, the others didn't.

efx should have more info about their ROTJ reveal helmet at SDCC.

I think they designed a new one. I'm not a Vader expert, but this one looks better to me. The Anovos didn't look quite right to me.

I'm referring to the recently announced Bandai 1/48 Mando N-1. It is in the recent posts before this. I'm curious if this will be very close in size to the AMT Naboo N-1. They are both 1/48 so they should be about the same size, but we know ships that should be the same size sometimes aren't.

Does anyone know how close the sizes are of the Bandai Mando N-1 and the AMT Naboo N-1? They are the same scale, but sometimes the sizes vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Ideally, Bandai would release a Naboo N-1.

Some companies like Sideshow are adding a "Tariff Impact Fee" when they collect the final payment for preorders. That may be a better way to adjust the fee based on what it is at the time, but the customers don't like being asked for more than what the price was when they placed the order. No...

That may be possible, but it defeats the goals of the government making money from the tariffs or encouraging companies to not import from certain countries. I don't know if it would be possible for companies to essentially have their warehouse in a free trade zone and everything ships from...

Why would you think a company that imports many products from China would not be affected by tariffs? Of course the expenses will be higher, that is what tariffs do. Tariffs are either a way for the government to make money without it being a "tax" or it is meant to discourage importing those...
