I am VERY happy to have this in my home. I also have the premium format "Lord of the Sith" (which I would give an infinitely excellent rating) and wondered about spending so much for something so similar, but its a completely different feeling. He comes to life in this and the details are so well articulated its captivating. I've spent literally an hour just staring and marveling. My girlfriend ran to the other side of the room when she noticed him and said "I'm not coming over anymore; he'll give me nightmares". No hyperbole.

My only issue is his legs. If you apply his "over robe" the way it shows in the pictures (and the instructions suggest) they are mostly covered, but I did not find that appealing and have placed it under his mantle and pulled it back a bit to show the legs and boots. In this way the legs show that they are rather scrawny and out of scale compared to the compelling presentation of every other facet of this piece. Maybe they were an afterthought because the artists assumed they would be covered. Whatever the reason I do wish they were more substantial and cohesive with the rest of the art.

That issue is considerably mitigated by how strongly your focus is pulled to his presence. All the other details that are done so well in such a large format as to make it, for me, with how I feel about it, ignore-able, but I did feel it should be mentioned considering the way the photography was done and the price.

This thing is awesome! I love the realism and attention to detail that went into this design. This is my first big piece from SSC. I will be ordering from them again! Thank you for taking great care of my product. The Force is definitely strong with this piece!
