Vader's taking a vacation in Abell Octovan's new custom
Hey, Sith Lords need some time off, too, and that's exactly what artist and designer Abell Octovan seeks to convey in his newest custom titled "Lord on Vacation." Topping out at an impressive 7", Octovan's version of Darth Vader sports swim trunks, a short-sleeve shirt, and a surfboard, all in the same glossy black as his usual armor. Limited to only eight custom figures, "Lord on Vacation" is certainly a laid back and fun reinterpretation of a popular character. But then comes the price tag of US$130 and suddenly I'm all "No Thank You Gif," though hey, that's just because I'm not the world's biggest Star Wars or surfing fan. If you happen to be a bigger fan than I, by all means, this is for you. Those with the desire and the funds need only send an e-mail to Octovan at jellyokky@yahoo.com regarding His Lordness.
