This started as a joke a few years ago. Just a conversation where I randomly mentioned the idea of giving Vader the Phoenix Force. It came up a couple times since and someone finally expressed interest in having it made. I tried a few different approaches, but a sleeker suit just wasn't looking right. I think it's interesting how Vader only looks appropriate with more tech added, not less. So, I just went back to basics and added gold from there. Nice to finally get this random joke idea out of my head. I don't know if I have any more lore accurate Sith coming up, but I do have another concept planned at some point.

Upper torso, arms, and upper legs were from Hyperion. Lower torso and lower arms were from Wonder Man. Feet were from one of the First Avenger Captain America figures. Head was from a Star Wars Darth Vader figure. Lightsaber was a cut down Sith blade added to some metal hilt I had. Not sure who originally had that. Sculpted the entire suit, skirt section, boots, belt, cape, gloves, and giant phoenix force piece. Full repaint, and all done!
